Well I mean Bodin has pretty much been out injured since leaving, Taylor hasnt made the impact at City he made here but he's been well worth the 300K and Ellis just isn't very good. Mad really that we got more for him than the other two. EH was playing in a poor team then got injured/fell out of favour with the new manager, if he'd joined a mid table team he might have been a different player, although like MT he'd have probably been better playing a year or two in a promotion chasing Div 1 side than going straight to the Championship. Taylor was Championship ready he just chose the wrong team. They didn't sign him for his ability rather just to hurt us. Ellis is a average L1 player at his absolute best. Nice guy though.

I guess there's a reason we got peanuts for Taylor, Bodin and Ellis when you consider what they've done since they left. Not saying I know more than anyone else ( I do ) but without doubt the real class amongst them was Bodin.

Taylor is always in the squad at a top 8 championship team but tends to be on the bench behind a £5,000,000 signing as well as andreas weimann who is a full austrian international with plenty of premier league appearances. He has made 68 appearances for this club mostly from the bench and scored 8 goals. I reckon the championship club signed him to improve their squad which is what he did.

Not saying I know more than anyone else ( I do ) but without doubt the real class amongst them was Bodin. In order of quality I’d say Taylor , Bodin then Harrison. Taylor could have been brilliant at a different championship club but was never really wanted by the sh**, he was a pawn in Lansdowns little game and his career has suffered for it. He’s made a fortune so fair enough but going there has derailed his career as a regular goal scoring striker.

Cureton? Oh no we have just been discussing his potential return since 1884. WYHHB? Pretty sure he's still putting away more goals than Nicholls mind! Think I remember talk of getting him back a few years ago from Dag & Red iirc! (or at least fans pondering it!)

"It's understood the Blues have recouped around two thirds of the £750k they spent to sign the front man from Bristol Rovers last summer, with the latter due a sell-on fee."
Ipswich Town have sold striker Ellis Harrison to League One rivals Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old has signed a three-year deal at Fratton Park. It's understood the Blues have recouped around two thirds of the £750k they spent to sign the front man from Bristol Rovers last summer, with the latter due a sell-on fee.
Former Town boss Paul Hurst signed the Welshman last July, but a combination of injuries and new boss Paul Lambert recruiting both Will Keane and Collin Quaner in January restricted him to just nine starts and eight substitute appearances. His one goal came against Sheffield United.
Pompey boss Kenny Jackett is a long-term admirer of Harrison, having tried to sign him from Bristol Rovers last summer and then again, from Town, in January.
"Coming here is a no-brainer," said Harrison. "I've got a manager who trusts me and has put his full faith in me, so I want to repay that.
"I'm very confident in my own ability and now it's up to me to prove that on a Saturday. I don't feel like I've hit my peak yet and there's more to come.
"I didn't really get going at Ipswich and show my full potential, but I was hindered by injury a lot of the time.
"Now I'm looking to really push on with Pompey next season and show everyone exactly what I can do.
"I remember playing at Fratton Park and it was very loud. I was trying to shout to the boys and they couldn't hear me. Having those fans behind you - you can't really ask for much more.
"It's a new start for me and hopefully we can be pushing to get into the Championship, which is where the club deserves to be.
"I've watched guys like Brett Pitman (ex Ipswich), who's played at a high level for a number of years, and it's something I can learn from."
"He also brings added mobility to that position and has the right attitude, which is really important for us and fits into our philosophy.
"Ellis has a good record in League One and all the attributes we need. We feel he has the whole package and can add to our squad.
"With the players that we're starting to bring in, we're confident that they can make the difference for us in getting out of this league."
Portsmouth finished fourth in League One last season before losing to Sunderland in the play-off semi-finals. They have been made third favourites for promotion next season, behind Ipswich and Sunderland.
The Blues travel to Fratton Park on December 21 and then host the South Coast side on March 21.
Town have already signed prolific striker James Norwood on a Bosman free transfer from Tranmere this summer, the 28-year-old having enjoyed back-to-back promotions in the National League and League Two.
Lambert's other senior forward options, as it stands, are Freddie Sears (not due back from knee surgery until October at the earliest) and Kayden Jackson.
The Blues may yet sign former loanee Keane following his release by Hull City, while enquiries have been made about Conor Washington following his release by Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, Bartosz Bialkowski is not expected to complete his move to Millwall until the start of next week. The Polish keeper completed his medical yesterday.
His departure will take the number of senior summer exits, including loans expiring, to 15 players.

Good move all round apart from us!Will get warm welcome from me,why on earth would anyone boo him? I think his effect on team morale is worth £750k alone Aside from Ollie Clarke does he know anyone at the gas now ?

Craig, Ollie, Sercombe and Nichols all played with Ellis. Plus Bennett and Mensah although it is doubtful they will be with us for the start of next season. And he will know some of the youngsters who are around the first team squad like Russe, Kilgour and Kelly.

Some people like to discuss players past and present and follow them, regardless of whether we want them to come back here or not. If you don't like that then don't post or comment on such threads. Yeah I accept that and have nothing against it, It’s something I like to do as well to some degree. But thanks for telling me how to use the forum, appreciate it mate. Isn't that exactly what you are doing - telling others how to use the forum?

I gave my opinion that the continued discussion over Harrison coming back here was getting boring but if people want to continue it that’s their choice.

I would have called this a fantastic signing for us.
Being honest, for a club much more ready for the championship I'd suggest its disappointing. His best league return is 13. I know he offers a target presence but unless they get the Elis of a year ago- they'll be disappointed. It's not insignificant money. A large part of me Hope's he does the business because he was an important part of what we achieved.
