The brief window when he wasn’t doggo and we could have got a fee ( weren’t Ipswich interested) has slammed shut ...watched him in pre-season and I said the time that he looked overweight and was ponderous on the pitch!!! Too many sessions in the weight room and bulking up. He must listen to people too much because he seemed like a player not comfortable in his own skin. Better he chooses to lose the bulk and get back to his natural weight. If the worst thing that happens is he drops out of the league, someone may just pick him up for what he can do and not just hoof balls to him.

Sly Posted 29 December 2022 Share Posted 29 December 2022 This just needs to be written off as a bad transfer. Cut our losses and sel the bloke to league 1. Can we recall him from Blackburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me, we'll send him to League One again and this time if he does well then take the £500-£1m we were supposedly offered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 5 January 2023 Author Share Posted 5 January 2023 https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/ipswich-town-poised-to-finalise-transfer-swoop-for-23-year-old-striker/ Ipswich Town are expected to complete the signing of George Hirst on an initial loan from Leicester City. The 23-year-old is currently with Blackburn Rovers on a temporary basis but Hirst has failed to establish himself as a regular for Jon Dahl Tomasson. Hirst has managed just nine league appearances so far in the campaign, with the vast majority from the bench, and he has not yet scored in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 5 January 2023 Share Posted 5 January 2023 This sounds like a good few on here "There's no possible way you could be right and someone in the pro game be wrong about something" After all, managers famously never get sacked for under performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
