| Marcus Evans statement re funds for new signings... 20:50 - Aug 7 with 1151 views | BLUEBEAT |
Apologies if already mentioned in one (or more) of the other threads, but I see ME has stated funds are available for 2 or 3 new signings.
Lambert said he’d provided a list of targets but hadn’t heard anything since.

I guess the two or three signings Lambert wants are more than Evans is willing to splash out for.

And we're going to end up grabbing something manky on discount at Farmfoods ten minutes before closing. |  | | |

It was clear that transfer fees are out of the question, so I guess it simply means that our preferred targets aren’t (yet) willing to come for the wages we are offering.
Not difficult to guess at potential free agent RB and Striker options PL might want but whom we won’t stretch for. |  | | |

It could be that free transfers are playing one club off another, or not looking to commit in case a better offer comes in (see what's happened to Judge), whilst in relation to loanees clubs may be looking to bring a player in to cover a position before bringing someone else in.
The situation may become clearer once the transfer window for the top two divisions closes tomorrow. |  |

'... we do have funds available for a further two or three new players ... I hope that those we are targeting can be secured on terms that work for Ipswich.' (my italics)
Therein lies the problem, undoubtedly being a negotiating gap between what the players (or their agents) want and what ITFC is prepared to pay. Especially if other offers are on the table. That may be overcome, it may not, but takes time. |  |

Word on the football agent street is that whilst ME isn't keen to pay clubs the big transfer fees, the wages offered are standardly over what other clubs are offering.
I'm sure it's a tax evasion thing*

So attractive to players, but not necessarily their parent clubs. Does explain why we were able to secure the services of Norwood and Judge. | |
