No doubt he’ll go there and be amazing and people will be all over Thelwell but even if he is a success, spending the best part of 10m on a loan was never the right thing to do, especially such a risky one.
Think you right if and it's a big if he gets back on form, they could just have bought a player that keeps them in with a shout of staying up it's worth a gamble to them.
He was a good player a few years ago , maybe less pressure at ipswich might do him some good.
For us it's a different game , for the money we have he would have to hit the ground running to be of any use, sooner fill other positions and use the money to buy a player to own and can make better.
The west ham season , and reporting for his first season at city overweight , have me a bit worried about him to be honest.
Doesn't sound like he really loves the game.
Nothing agaist ipswich or him so good luck to both.
