Old Spalding Ram

Middle one is my granddaughters flag.  She had great week end on grandads expense 🙈
 

Anyone who hasn’t included Bjørn Otto Bragstad or Francois Grenet in this list of the most despised incompetents hasn’t really been paying attention over the last twenty years! 😜

Just reading his name has started me twitch of again! 😳

The story so far.
Just a few tweaks after the last couple of friendlies.

Well the back 6 is ✅ 
Gotta play two up front in this league, so that’s Collins and Washington (at the moment)
Personally, Smith in front of the back three, get Bird further forward 
                                                       Wildsmith.
                            Nelson.                 Bradley.               Cashin.
          Ward.                                       Smith                                  Elder.
                                   Bird                                        Hourihane

                                          Collins           Washington 
 
…………………….enough to get out of this league already. 😃👍

Goal! From a corner!

They have signed the strike force of a team who narrowly avoided relegation and failed to score in a third of their games.
In a combined 99 appearances, they scored 19 between them last season.
I somehow don’t feel overly concerned that we have “missed out” on a couple of bang average third division strikers who appear to be near their ceiling.

Hopefully he gets a decent L1 club that plays two up front and he can start banging them in again. He's looked decent for us even playing as a loan striker but asking him to tear around up front on his own just doesn't play to his strengths. Be good to see him scoring again at the right club. Scored some vital goals for us in his second spell.

Of course Warne would rather have Clarke-Harris.
But there's not a chance that Peterborough would sell him to anyone for less than £2 million. Let alone to a rival.
I'd imagine nobody in League One can afford JCH. Probably a lot of Champ teams too. (I'm sure I read WBA were linked with a £4 Millon move)
Probably the reason he hasn't gone anywhere yet. 
 

Yep,……………….let’s cut out the middle man! 😁👍

His pace and energy would look discernibly better if I was pushing him around in a wheelbarrow.

You want symmetry, Umbro Boston away kit…………………I like it.👍

Sorry but... Yuk!  🤮
Looks like they're wearing a cheap flimsy lanyard that is blowing about in the wind.
Coupled with all the haphazard lines/pattern, it's far too messy for my liking!  Give me symmetry any day!

Seems obviously cheesed off from continuous loans. 
Like you say ex clubs supporters and managers seem to like the lad so it is rather surprising how nobody’s been interested in signing him permanently.
Anyway, I read an article in the East Anglia Times taken from the Beautiful Game Podcast, seems to sum up his career so far.
Since I was 17/18, every season I've had a big injury.
I played one game at Sheffield Wednesday. I came on and in the first two minutes I got injured (quad).
At Ipswich I had back-to-back injuries (hamstring and quad). I missed six months of the season, so it's be tough to say the least.
The second injury came on the last day of my hamstring rehab. The next day I had been due to train with the team.
When that happened my head was gone. I didn't know what to do. Thankfully my family were there to pick me up.
It's been bad. All the time questioning myself. 'What am I doing wrong?' 'What do I need to change?'
This can't keep happening. I can't keep having month after month of not playing. 
Shame really……………wish him well.

I started looking into strikers who had a lot of early promise, but as of yet haven’t hit the ground running in senior football. One name caught my eye - Tyreece John-Jules. 
A good size, athletically impressive but with the football ability to match. He started well for Ipswich last season, well liked by their fans, but injuries really cost him his chance of developing further. Now, there are rumours that he may join them permanently but I’d like to think we could jump in and offer him a more immediate route to regular football. 
No idea what Arsenal want, but would assume he’s cheap and available. He’s in the last year of his contract and now wants somewhere to settle - https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22461118/arsenal-transfer-news-tyreece-john-jules-ipswich/
In terms of value and upside, I doubt there will be many better options available to us this summer in that position. 

Are you trying to tell us he won't fancy a year on loan at a league 1 club.
Its the natural progression
Step 1. Start at one of the biggest clubs in Portugal with one of the best youth systems in Europe.
Step 2. Get poached by one of the worlds richest and currently most successful clubs who hoover up all the best young talent the world has to offer.
Step 3. Destroy all opposition you face in youth football at both domestic and international level and have clubs in top divisions court you for multi million pound move and first team football at Premier league level.
Step 4. Go on loan to a league 1 club.
