So we watch a 34 yr old Doucs plod all over the pitch?

We never use them though - a place on the bench we put two keepers on there = ridiculous .....I mean there are a range of players in between Doucoure and Whitaker, Joey
Like Brojas?

I hate seeing Doucoure play for us but letting whitaker go to league 2 is completely irrelevant to that

Whitaker seems more robust than paper legs broja, again completely irrelevant though
Only the crocked Broja is on a fantastic salary - Ipswich medical staff rejected him great player, but made of glass....

He's going to Notts County mate, if someone like Villa had picked him up, i'd be concerned.
Good luck to the lad, hope he builds his way back up the pyramid, comes across a hard worker
Interesting how Whitaker’s numbers look impressive at junior levels but not got near the first team. A number of his peers have got closer even though up top has been a big problem for us
This. He is going to a competitive League Two side, which is about the right level when you consider the how well, or not, most U21 sides do in the Papa Johns Trophy.
The gulf between the U21s and First Team is massive. You have to trust the coaches who work with these players on a day-to-day basis as to who they think can make it. Armstrong, for example, was not really on the radar but seems to have developed quickly enough to have been promoted at 17, whereas Whittaker is 21, so plenty of time to have been considered if he was good enough.
The academy coaches I know at Ipswich tell me that the very few they consider are not only the standout player in their age group (ability, physicality and mentality), but also have to be exceptional in at least one area akin to the level of players in and around the first team.

It's his physicality. Similar to Dowell in that he has great ball striking but just hasn't got the athleticism

Nottm County?
No, its Nottinghamshire County / Notts County
As it should be Nottm Forest as theres no S in Nottingham ffs.

Hopefully Thelwell slots in a buyback and a sell on as you never know.

He was relatively near the first team when Benitez was here though but then spent about 2 years injured
