Another promising youngster could do a good job for a top division 2 side. Hope he gets fixed up quickly
I had the honour of presenting Fin with the 2023-4 player of the year trophy @ PR 18 months back, what a lovely fella. I really hope he continues to develop, he’s still very young, and gets a good loan now
Fin can indeed be great but if he stays here but his risk is that he becomes just another name on the list of “go-nowhere’s” after Cam Harry Elkan Luke Flynn Jason Tristam Jack Freddie amongst others. I really like KMc but his reluctance to use our own guys is something I don’t understand. If we’re not going to play them : just sell them or let them go – if only for my blood pressure
Yes, it is baffling and it’s definitely not nostalgia. We may have the investment that we could only dream about in the past, and yes, the due diligence Gamechanger did (Mike O’Leary: ‘We looked at more than one club but every time it came back to Ipswich.’) certainly made me think of all those trophies we probably would have won, it made me think that crowds of 38,000++ could be a regular thing. But, football is much bigger than it was, there are a few other clubs actually achieving what the owners are looking to achieve. So it seems almost perverse to ignore or not prioritise one of the elements that actually brought us the success we had: play your best young talent. It is/was very Ipswich. With five subs, and yes, with all the work done with the current group getting them to understand the system and eachother seeming to be paying off, there is no real excuse. If Fin comes on for Azor on 65 or heaven forfend, starts!, is he usurping an out and out world beater? Likewise Cam for Jens or Jack.
Or Cam for Marcelino, a similar role I think he played at Wycombe last season. CBs I get Kieran prefers them to play through, so opportunities may be more limited for Elkan and Jacob – but we have the Cup. Honestly, if we can’t get the calibre of player we really need in this window, we have the resources already. Play them and it will move the club
