Muzzy_no7 Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August 1 minute ago, Stopharage said: Not a single person here would mention Szmodics if he’d had one of his normal seasons last season. Last season was such an outlier, yet some people waffle on about him like he’s a Kane-esque metronomic goal machine. He’s only got over 15 goals in a season once before last season. It’s not like the guy is Dixie Dean. Nope. Behave, no one is comparing him to Kane. Hes better than what we’ve got. Simple. Sorry he doesn’t have ‘resale value’ or ‘didn’t do it prior to 23/24’. First we aren’t in a position where we can be picky and secondly he moved from playing as a b2b midfielder/10 last year to a striker and look what happened…he got chances and he scored them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a 1 season wonder. He may well prove to be amazing over a number of seasons but at present we need players with a solid, consistent record of achievement in higher leagues. People waffling on about paying £10-12m for him seemingly have no comprehension of players beyond these shores. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August He makes no sense to sign. A single season of success. He’s 28. So you aren’t getting any profit from him. He’s 32 when his contract is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wignalll2007 Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August (edited) Let’s see shall we, the same people who are claiming he’s shit or a one season wonder will be moaning about why we didn’t sign him come the end of the season when he helps to keep Ipswich up and we go down! I’m not Looking forward to the upcoming week of waiting for us to get some damn players in. We can only work on one signing at a time so god knows how we are going to manage to sign the thee or four players we so obviously need!

Tielemans63 Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August Smart signing for Ipswich imho. Approaching his peak and only £9m - decent business. Think he'll do okay in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August 30 minutes ago, Muzzy_no7 said: Absolute horse p*ss. Hes better than Daka. Period. Cannon will be loaned out. Vardy is almost 38 and his last season in the PL he was about as effective as a French infantry division. 9m + whatever bonuses is worth it and let’s face it as much as we all would like to see both Zaha AND Fotis THEY AINT GONNA HAPPEN. Szmodics fills a huge void and has 3 peak years left. Get off your high horses. more chance than us spending 9mil+ on szmodics, dont get me wrong i like him, but cant see us going for him, as for Zaha and Fotis.....wouldnt shock me if we did get them both.

Number 6 Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August People keep comparing him to strikers we have when he plays behind a striker. Not sure how he'll do in the Prem. His last season looked like an absolute freak when you see his longer term trends, for some reason he just got into lots of good scoring positions and converted well. Whether that was a team set up well for him at last or him changing something himself, who knows. Must admit, it's not one I feel sad about us missing out on.

I was one of very few on here highlighting players like Gronbeak, Liztes…even Sesko 2-3 years ago. 10-12million for him would be good business as he improves our 11.

Szmodics doesn't improve our team, he's not good enough. He had an amazing season last season and scored some fantastic goals, but he's not good enough to keep us in the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows where the back of the net is. Which none of our strikers do atm. Bar Vardy who is broken for 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
