Srg Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Would be surprised if they wouldn't be willing to sell. He's now 30, they seem to have a bit of money to spend too. Could just be a lazy Warne and former Rotherham player link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 He’d be a good addition, generally a 1 in 3 player at this level. He scored 17 for Ipswich last season so I’d hope for a similar return if we got him. Ipswich have been linked to Ellis Simms for about £5m, no idea if they’ll get him but if they’re looking to spend that on a striker then they clearly have ambitions beyond Ladapo. I get the feeling if we did get him, it would be one of those that ran towards the end of the window whilst Ipswich assessed their options.

inter politics Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 With respect, if they won't entertain any bids, this is not highly unlikely to happen? Anag Ram and i-Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 This is something that would probably need to happen later in the window, but it's whether we can wait around till then. I don't see Ipswich selling until they have replacements in and settled. I also don't think Ladapo and Warne were all that friendly(?) so not sure if it is anything other than a lazy link. He would obviously be a good option for us at this level. He fits the profile of what we need really well and had a good year at Ipswich last season.

Scott129 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Good player. I would be uncomfortable with spending a significant amount of money on him though - he's another one that will have no resale value whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Did wonder on this and thought probably a matter of time before a link popped up. Surprised it's not claiming Knight swap deal. Obviously did well for Ipswich last season and racked up 50+ games, scoring a decent amount. Thing is though Ipswich aren't going to be content with just treading water, and unless they see Ladapo as a 20 goal championship striker they will be looking to keep improving that position. Even at 30 I wonder if his value exceeds Knights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is strange seeing as PW always going on about he understands players wanting to achieve as much as they can and how he would never standin their way for a good move… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He announced it during their promotion run in and I think PW thought it was a bit off and it would upset the apple cart at a critical time.

Sparkle Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 When we talk about signing forwards I tend to set my standards much higher than those we are linked with - it’s going to be another interesting season RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Haha why has this reporter even mentioned the name if its a no go. Im sure Warne is fan of many players. Trying to make a name for himself this reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 He's definitely the type of player we need, but I imagine Ipswich will want a few bob for him and it sounds like he and Warne weren't best buddies after his transfer request, so I'm sceptical on this one.

Ladapo plus a couple of mill in exchange for Knight….I would be tempted. I think he is just what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Bidding big money on a player who will have no resale value. I doubt DC would allow that to happen at the club again. Most likely a lazy link. I'm fine with Warne bringing in those peak footballers on freebies. We shouldn't be spending transfer fees on these kind of players though unless it's very small.

I think resale value is seriously overrated, let’s get good quality players in who will get us up 😁 Carnero, DCFC1388 and Macintosh 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen any detail on what a "moderate fee" actually means but, at L1 level, I'd guess that to be £500K at the most. We won't be spending a "significant amount of money" on anybody in this or the next window. We can't. I'd not be surprised if, come August 5th, Collo is still our only senior striker and I'd expect to see young Brown either up top alongside him or, if we play Collo as a lone striker, on the bench. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
