We've been linked with some proper dross. At least Conor Chaplin is a name we've actually heard of and he's under 30, and he's had at least some pedigree in the last 2 or 3 years

Last 2 seasons have been mediocre from him. Last season he had a similar attacking output to Vestergaard and Luke Thomas.

 

If we're getting the Chaplin from 22/23 and 23/24 then we should be all over it but considering he hasn't been good for a while it's definitely a risk.

All those seasons run through 3 differing levels though.  Having been shit in the Premier League isn't neccesarily a great issue.

I think he’s only tailed off as they’ve gone up the divisions. Ideally we’d get him on a 1 year contract and then bin him off if we get promoted.

3 year contract incoming then.

He was poor in the championship last season as well though and Ipswich not playing him despite him being a 20+ g+a midfielder at that level 2 seasons prior indicates that he's tailed off a bit.

 

I'm just saying it's one of those signings that could easily go poorly, not that he's someone we should outright avoid. He could rediscover some form with us if he does come.
