All ready missed an alleged target in Ben Johnston as he would have been a great signing due his flexibility in full back positions to Ipswich surely we are not going to loose the two Hull lads aswell. If we are seriously interested then let's put up the fee for the players. As PSR issues should be a decent gap now with the TV money, kit deal, new owner paying MSP debt of and then there is naming rights for BMD, other sponsorship deals regarding ground, additional revenue from state of art ground, player sales, savings on out of contract players wages surely we will be stronger financially now.

Ipswich will have guaranteed him first team football. Would we have?

Not fussed by this at all. Makes sense from a few perspective but he couldn’t even get into West Ham’s side and they have not been particularly blessed in the fullback positions in recent seasons.
Coufal and Cresswell are both old and he couldn’t displace them.

Not overly bothered we’ve missed out on Ben Johnson - not a great defender and would argue no better than what we’ve already got.
Appreciate was available on a free but would still cost a significant amount of money with a signing on fee as well as wages etc.
However we need to be bringing in players that will add quality to the squad not just to make up numbers.

Don't think he's that good in all honesty so not much of a disappointment that he's gone elsewhere. Only thing that was attractive about the deal is that he was on a free.
