Ever the pessimist Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Of course, the state we have been in for quite some time means that we have been unable to really invest time in players to nurture them and bring out any potential. I know they were only loans, so not ever really ours to not afford a fair crack of the whip, but both of Ipswich's currently prolific strikers were here and dismissed as not good enough by many in their temporary arrangements. Being reactive as a club, as epitomized by emergency loan deals, will often mean we don't get to see the best in a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Were people genuinely disappointed when Kovacavic went? I can't remember. Or is it just because he went on to better things? I was disappointed. Bit of a slow start for us but got 4 from 8 league starts. Remember Pleat saying that we'll have to give him time to settle when we signed him too. Definite panic sale.

coopswfc76 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Kovacevic What the frigging hell was that all about, Waited months he came in scored 5 in 9 i think so we sold him to buy Andy Booth for exact same money good idea that Mr Pleat. One a year later was worth 17million other was worth 2 & 6. Trustfull Looked quality to me every time i saw him play and definately better than his country man Blinker we then sent him back to Vittesse i think. Petrescu Signed after a great world cup didnt have best starts so we just got rid to Chelsea i mean he didnt do much there did he!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaminowl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Iain Hesford. Quite excited (not in that way) when we signed him and then we signed Hodge a few days/weeks later, so he ended up as understudy and never played a single game for us. Just noticed this on his Wiki page. Crikey. I must have missed that news. RIP Iain. On 20 November 2014, the body of Hesford was discovered. The cause of his death is not yet known.[4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue n White Rampage Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So, there are threads on here quite often re players that should be playing/haven’t had their chance. I’m thinking about Corry, young Gary etc. Now, they'll be reasons for this (performance in training) but that's sometimes not good enough for the fans. So, who can you think of from the past who hasn’t been/wasn’t given a fair chance (i.e. fans wanted them to play for no real reason), off top of my head, Paul Heffernan?? did anyone mention Cantona?

coopswfc76 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 kovacevic was a **** up, but i remember there being some problems about his work permit? Yes it took us about 6months to sign him & stefonavic but sure all that was cleared up. Petrescu wanted to leave. Didn't realise that, fair enough then.

g-owls Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Cantona has to be the biggest epic fail surely? In more recent times then probably Grant Holt, he was only a youngster when he arrived and in the few games he played I personally thought he deserved a fairer crack of the whip, especially when you consider at the time the club was paying the likes of Robbie Mustoe and Kim Olsen.

Eightace Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Chamberlain. I always remember "get chamberlain on" coming from the kop every week. We loved him when he did come on but he rarely seemed to start.If he did start he didnt play as well and I dont remember much else :-) So maybe him.

Being reactive as a club, as epitomized by emergency loan deals, will often mean we don't get to see the best in a player. McGoldrick is an odd one. I don't remember any clamour whatsoever to sign him permanently at the time and most fans were happy to see him move on. Yet since leaving us he's gone on to score 40 goals at a rate of almost 1 every 2 games! We only had him for a handful of games and clearly we didn't see the best of him, but it does seem we dropped a clanger in not chasing him with greater determination when he was available.

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Clinton Morrison. He played quite a lot, didn't he? The problem was that his legs had gone by the time we signed him and he was nowhere near the danger he had been earlier in his career. I'm glad we didn't persevere with him any longer than we did, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pecnic and Rodri recently. Trustfall Darko Dejan too in the past. This trend will continue too I imagine. stefanovic went to the end of his 4 year contract and only left because of work permit problems . Definitely Rodri. I liked him. would this be same rodri that cant get a goal for the club at the bottom of the german 2nd division ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That lad we had on loan from Sampandoria last season, think he only came on for us for 30 minutes v Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
