are we, not based on the players we are being linked with, fairly underwhelming so far? |  |

I don't think we ever were. The players we're linked with are every bit as exciting and maybe more so. All played at a higher level so no reason they can't have a similar impact as Whittaker has in his breakout 5 months. [Post edited 5 Jan 2023 20:06]

I don’t think we are. Gotta ask yourself, based on his apparent love for Plymouth, how motivated would he really be playing for us? Not very, I’d say.
I’d rather have someone else who is fully committed to Ipswich. |  |

Which ones are you find more exciting?
Edit: Luongo I like by the way, seems a sensible addition to me [Post edited 5 Jan 2023 20:05]

Broadhead. Know a few Sunderland fans who claim he was the best player in League One before he got injured and rave about him. They were miffed he chose Wigan over them this season but say he is Championship footballer.
But what I'm saying is that any of the players we're linked with could do just as well as Whittaker has in his half season. Imagine Plymouth fans if they were linked with Bonne this time last year! [Post edited 5 Jan 2023 20:25]

It's certainly a pretty reasonable comparison, he was on fire under Cook. If he does end up at Orient, that is going to be an awesome signing for them.
Broadhead of the ones linked has at least done it and has a decent track record
Whittaker who I think is simply too costly, would have an air of Marcus Stewart about it and certainly looks like a prospect who would step up as time goes on, that's what would be nice about it but seems unrealistic now [Post edited 5 Jan 2023 20:19]

Add corbeanu, hirst and broadhead and you've got cover for burns, ladapo and harness. Jackson and edwards are obviously here too. Mckenna doesn't seem to play left-footers on the left and so whittaker would be competing with chaplin and aluko for the right-sided or central ten position. Do we need a third player there? I'm not sure. |  |

Whittaker is probably a 10 who could play upfront, not sure about the others linked?
Hirst looks like an out and out striker
Broadhead similar?
The Wolves lad probably more of a winger or 10?
Where does Jack Taylor play, can he play 10 too or does he sit a bit deeper? | |

Swansea obviously don't want him/rate him. He didn't pull up trees at Lincoln last year either. He's done well at Plymouth during the last 5 months and may well develop further into a great player but I don't think he's a slam dunk. | | | |

Sunderland mate said Broadhead can play left hand if a 3 very well as well as the Striker position. He would basically cover the John Jules loss but is more potent in front of goal.
So you could have any of Hirst/Ladapo/Broadhead as a 9.
Could see
Hirst
Broadhead Chaplin Burns
(With Harness/Aluko/Edwards and even Humphreys roasted in an out with 3 behind. Ladapo competing with Hirst).
Still got Jackson, Ahadme, TJJ to return...a lot of riches.
Could see Jackson moved on. | | | |

Whittaker is definitely a 10 . Can play wide or up front but preferred position is 10 . Plymouth normally play with 2 10’s. | | | |

So he's been successful in a similar system, I don't think we after him now in fairness
We are being linked to promising players, whoever we get will hopefully make a difference and add that extra quality to get us over the line
I just don't see a really ambitious signing that makes a statement, perhaps we don't need that, we have a strong squad already and just need an extra sprinkling of quality to get us over the line | |

Well as he has left Plymouth that doesn’t come into does it? | | | |

What, the attitude of wanting to stay at a team top of the league where he is playing really well?
Yea, sounds like he has a massive problem! |  |

Surely not? Would take a decent wedge of cash you'd assume, perhaps 2m+? Then there's the issue of him wanting to join a promotion rival of a club he's clearly fond of. Although I guess he'd probably earn more than he's currently in at Swansea!
I can see him ending up back at Plymouth. |  |

The ace up our sleeve is that Swansea still owe us for Downes. We could write that off and pay a minimal fee to then get him. |  |

Not entirely sure on this. If they want a cash injection for transfers as has been widely hinted at, then is writing off debt the most useful route?
Unless they were due to pay the full balance imminently, you could argue not. |  | | |

I doubt anyone here knows when the debt has to be paid by | | | |
