We liked the look of him but not willing to pay beyond the fees we set and fair enough, it's nice to be quite strict with things for a change unless they're players who can push us on massively Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 We can both be really interested whilst not willing to match what another club is willing to pay. We might have wanted him just as much as Luton did without wanting to pay what they did. Every club has their own valuations of players that they won't budge on and it's entirely plausible that regardless of how much we wanted Mpanzu, Luton were willing to pay him more than we were willing to. What Humpty seems to be saying is it's a case of battling with financial muscle and in the case where both clubs have been trying to bring him in, if we really wanted him we would have paid more than they were willing to and I don't think that's the case at all. Luton might have been willing to stretch their budget for a player they know plenty about whilst even if we really wanted him, we could have said "This is our limit and we're not going beyond it". I don't think Humpty is saying we should do that just to beat clubs out, more that the fact we didn't means we didn't really want him. Which I don't think is true. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,246 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hasn’t Peltier filled in there during pre-season? I assume we’re happy with Peltier and Bola fighting it out for that spot. Glad he’s only going out on loan and not a permanent transfer. Still think there’s a player in there under the right circumstances. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Still think there’s a player in there under the right circumstances. I assumed they'd brought Peltier in because of the Fischer injury, though I suppose he could cover both. Wouldn't be surprised to see another one come in regardless. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,246 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Djikesteel and Spence as cover on the right maybe? Spence is not ideal but like you say Peltier can cover all across the back four. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think Coulson going on loan is perfect hopefully he develops at Ipswich who are very much a club going for L1 promotion hope he succeeds and keeps Sunderland down 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Virtually every comment on that link thought he was a decent signing. Hopefully he will get games and come back when we have a manager who believes in him. Very glad its just a loan.

Tom 2,492 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think we will sign another left back as cover, but it will be low down the priority list. A Premier League loan towards the end of the window, possibly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 on a personal note ,i hope he does well there and moves forward in his career. on a professional note i think were well shot of him, hes basically a nothing player ,not savy enough as a defender, limited as n attacker and only seems capable of operating ten yards either side o the half way line , the only positive ive noticed about him is that he is always clear to recieve a pass, thats probably down to the opponents not being worried about what damage hes likely to do once he gets possession. he looks like he will fit in at ipswich, not on the footballing side but more on the landscape of the area. cue worzels song.

Just makes sense to me that we let Coulson go out and play and cover him with someone else temporarily. We don't need a new permanent left-back, we need someone to cover and challenge Bola whilst Coulson gets game time. Link to post Share on other sites
