“They paid far too much” – Pundit blames Ipswich Town for €25m midfielder who is not good enough for top flight football

Ipswich Town’s record-breaking summer signing has already been branded a “waste of money” after a pundit hit out at the club’s decision to spend €25 million on a midfielder he insists isn’t cut out for top-flight football.

The Tractor Boys made headlines with the deal, signalling their intent to compete at the highest level following their return to the Premier League. But the player’s sluggish start has raised eyebrows, with critics pointing to his lack of influence in big matches.

Speaking after Ipswich’s latest fixture, the pundit didn’t hold back:

“They paid far too much. €25m for a midfielder who doesn’t look anywhere near ready for the top flight is outrageous. Ipswich needed quality and leadership in the middle of the park, but what they’ve got is a huge gamble. Waste of money—plain and simple.”

The comments have sparked debate among Ipswich fans. Some believe the signing was overpriced, while others argue the player deserves more time to settle into the pace of Premier League football.

For Ipswich’s management, the pressure is mounting. With survival in the top flight the priority, the €25m man will need to step up quickly—or risk becoming one of the club’s most expensive mistakes.
