Teddy Nickelarse Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 1 hour ago, Skamp said: Do you know what ostensibly means? It's an odd fit here. Yes. 😀 For clarity many might say that on the face of it £1.3m is too much for a 33 year old of his quality. If ipswich have a weakness in this area that Johnson might plug and help them achieve promotion then they'd likely consider it money well spent even if they then offloaded him in the summer at a significant loss. Semantics anyway. Edited January 18 by Teddy Nickelarse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky wee ****. Looked quite flashy going forward while at Dundee. Sportscene didn't show much of his defensive game though, so can't really comment on that. Got a Hibs player sent off with the most pathetically lightweight 'fall over when brushed' a few weeks back. I didn't know whether to declare him a cheat or enjoy a wry smile, due to it being a Hibby on the receiving end. In the interests of fair play, I decided he was a typical scouser. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a common trait is the invention of possible future adverse scenarios, as though they had actually occurred, to fuel rantings against DC Every Wednesday fan knows that DC has his flaws but its the relentless hypocrisy and downright dishonesty of his noisiest abusers that irks many, including me.

You also don't know how much of it is in the hands of the manager either, let's be right we've all said time and again that squad should have walked League 1.

TheExile Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Since Röhl came in January has been more about getting a better keeper and strikers who can play his way which we have done so I don’t really get the panic from some other platforms that we haven’t signed a whole new team as that was never happening and there’s not much money in the championship currently for clubs to be aggressive. In some windows we have only brought in 1/2 on the final day so I expect that to be the same taking the total to 3/4 over the window. Suspect Johnson will have had head turned though and we may need to replace him unexpectedly which may also be why Rohl is not wanting to talk as freely.

Teddy Nickelarse Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-marvin-johnson-ipswich-town-4486623 I understand the need to wheel and deal but arguably our best performing player currently on a free? Hope not. Wonder what DR means by this exactly?.... "In the transfer window anything is possible in both directions. What is clear is that he is a starter at the moment, he has a lot of running forward, he has made improvements in defence and he is a good left full-back for us and he is helpful. In the end some decisions are on the other table, not my table." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We’ve been turned down by a few. Rohl alluded to this last week and at the weekend. He’s been trying to get a central midfield player and another forward, and he’s been linked with a couple of left backs. Based on that, I’d assume he wants another three in. I’d expect there may need to be some players going out. So if Smith and Gregory are two of those players, then so be it. I only see Johnson going if it’s a cash deal and if we can bring a similar player in at the same time, but I think the player owns that situation.
