The Horse's Mouth Posted 4 February 2017 Share Posted 4 February 2017 he's always clearly been talented, people just wrote him off way too quickly here after like 2 appearances from the bench. Think if Nige had stayed he'd have gotten a lot more opportunities else I don't think he'd have moved here in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 4 February 2017 Share Posted 4 February 2017 He wouldn't get a game for us anyway so this discussion is kinda moot. Shinji bambi on ice Okazaki would start ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 4 February 2017 Share Posted 4 February 2017 Bambi that's good .Maybe hes the one with wrong studs or possibly leaves on the pitch. Ric-Wish Lawrence well hopefully with us but he needs to have added tackling and heading to his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritwalker Posted 4 February 2017 Share Posted 4 February 2017 I remember him coming on as a sub 2 or 3yrs ago and he was terrible, but he was only young and has clearly improved. It seems a no brainer, we should bring him back to give him a go which ever division we are in next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted 5 February 2017 Share Posted 5 February 2017 Yep, another two goals again for Ipswich today, including one corker! Questions have to be asked as to why he wasn't brought back earlier now. I couldn't see any of our strikers scoring in the Championship on present form, let alone some of the goals Tom has been banging in, plus volume wise too re goals per game ratio! I suppose he'd have been played this season during this appalling goal drought, much in the same way a young player like Chilwell has (finally...) been used this season. Looks a bit late now mind :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's bang in form and we need something different. Then the Tom Lawrence you saw play for Leicester is a different guy to who plays for Ipswich. Unreal today, opposition can't even get close enough to foul him. Most Ipswich fans are in agreement that he is our best loan player ever, including the local journo. For me Giovanni Dos Santos has that title, but in terms of a full season- Lawrence is the clear winner. If I were you, I would be really questioning your club if he isn't given the chance for you next season. If you don't want him, they'll be plenty of other clubs in the Prem who will play him week in, week out. He has been played as a winger, a centre mid, a number 10 and today as a striker partner to McGoldrick. Looks comfortable in any position, I personally think he is best as a striker. He will bag a hat-trick before the end of the season, hopefully it's in a couple of weeks at Carrot Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinowe Soorie Posted 5 February 2017 Share Posted 5 February 2017 We spent £7.5m on the Polish kid that's "not ready", and we already have an English player doing the biz? You couldn't make this season up if you tried!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyleicester Posted 5 February 2017 Share Posted 5 February 2017 He continues to shine in a poor Ipswich side and seems to be making most of his goals himself. He won the goal of the day vote on Sky after yesterdays latest effort. As for having him back, well thats all too late now. Im not sure if we have a recall option on him anyway but arent the facts these days that you register 25 players at the end of every deadline and thats it? If he isnt in the 25 he isnt getting a look in anyway. Lets hope he continues to progress as a player as he has always been spoken of as someone majorly talented and if so, he can contribute to the squad going forward.

You couldn't make this season up if you tried!? Agreed but our manager would say he wasn't ready. It is pretty much his standard answer about any player who is new or on the fringes. Which begs me to question what the hell are he and his team actually doing about getting them ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I watched him play at Sincil Bank 2 weeks ago for Ipswich and he was bullied out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 5 February 2017 Share Posted 5 February 2017 13 minutes ago, dynamark said: Perspective Chris Wood just netted 21st goal this season for Leeds-anyone asking for him back ? Yeah, but the difference is that Wood is no longer our player, where as Tom is. I find it quite exciting that we have a no.10/second striker/attacking midfielder waiting for us next season. Hopefully we'll still be in the Prem, and we can go back to Tom, cap in hand, and integrate him into our match day squad. We have no one like him in the squad currently. We tried to get Ramirez and failed. Okazaki is just not up to that role anymore. Let's hope we can work it out with Tom and we can get the best out of him, if he returns. We've seriously mismanaged this situation, on the face of it. I hear he doesn't want to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 5 February 2017 Share Posted 5 February 2017 It would be very unfair to the lad to bring him back early and burden him with the expectation of saving our season. I'd wait until the Summer put him in the team along with Gray and build around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
