Exclusive: Ipswich Town in advanced talks to sign Anel Ahmedhodzic

1.) 23 Aug 2024 13:55:32
Clearly we don't fancy EFL based players as Ipswich have also picked up Greaves and now seemingly Clark from Sunderland, (both look v good propects), for circa £30m the pair.
Odd as lower risk, given no cultural adjustment issues to deal with etc etc, and also probably "homegrown" not an insignifincant benefit.

31 Aug 2023 16:07:38
Bueno announced.2 today so far

1.) 31 Aug 2023 18:12:35
Subject to work permit apparently but at 24 years of age, a 6ft 4" frame and can apparently play a bit, sounds like a good signing.

This is probably why the Elvedi pursuit slowed down somewhat.

2.) 31 Aug 2023 20:33:10
With Pond gone to Stockport and Dawson's age is there an arguement for taking both?
Quality players (Swiss international) at the price (circa 5m?) he is available for must be worth signing?

It must be possible that this season we will have injuries, suspensions or loss of form amongst the CBs and the extra cover for the price, over a 5 year contract it is only circa £1m and his wages, it is surely worth it?

Additionally If both he and Bueno have established themselves, (and are under long term contracts ), then we may, subject to either Dawson remaining solid or one of our younger CBs developing to become the 4th option, be able to solve the remainder of our FFP problems by selling one of them, (or perhaps more likely Kilman), at a substantial profit next year?

3.) 01 Sep 2023 08:29:24
I haven't seen anything of Elvedi but it appears he is available at a reasonable cost, so why has no any other club gone in for him?

09 Sep 2022 13:07:56
Has Costa officially been signed?

1.) 09 Sep 2022 14:35:20
Yes, squad number 29

2.) 09 Sep 2022 15:10:32
Yes but due to events yesterday the club felt it wouldn't be right to announce it at this time.

3.) 09 Sep 2022 16:39:34
Makes sense

4.) 09 Sep 2022 18:47:18
I did think that yesterday
Bit like the potter announcement was very low key

5.) 09 Sep 2022 19:39:24
Have to give the club some credit on this one, even if it doesn't work out (hopefully it will look like a master stroke come the end of the season:). They moved fast and no one can say they haven't tried to address our problems in front of goal. I worry that the extra wage will sink the Denayer move (which would be understandable) cause we are still a little light (experience wise) at cb. Fingers crossed it still happens then it will be over to you Bruno ?

6.) 10 Sep 2022 07:39:17
Apart from trying to sign Ramos I think they have done all they can.Still pinching myself about Costa joining tbh.

7.) 10 Sep 2022 10:31:37
Early in the week it looked like the Dendayer deal had stalled with the player wanting a better deal. Not sure what the current situation is.

8.) 10 Sep 2022 22:12:58
Well I'm sure Debbie will put me right

07 Aug 2022 18:39:27
Guedes all done,medical tomoz

1.) 07 Aug 2022 19:36:57
If Guedes arrives it will signal the departure of MGW. Bruno likes his inverted wingers and Guedes plays that role, where MGW has been deployed in pre-season and yesterday. Not sure it is his best position. I think he will go to Forest as Cooper is more likely to play him more centrally.
Very surprised that the talk around Coady is a year loan with an option to buy. Unless there is a hefty loan fee involved, it doesn’t make sense to me. We should be looking to get the money, while his stock is still high.
Striker is still the priority. We played quite well in parts yesterday but never really looked like scoring. Saves their keeper made were routine. Not sure how I feel about the names being banded about. Ramos is probably my preference but he is young and unproven.
Would love us to get Nunes, as he is the type of aggressive, running midfielder we desperately need. Bruno obviously doesn’t really trust Ronan or Cundle, and if Moutinho is out for a few weeks we are probably looking at two midfielders to fill the voids.

2.) 07 Aug 2022 20:01:03
I have seen little about the injury to Moutinho, does anyone know what's happened to him? thanks

3.) 07 Aug 2022 21:02:43
Personally we should play gibbs white centrally or kind of same role he was doing at Sheffield but if a bid of what there saying nearly 40mil comes then I would snap there hands off and look at another attacking options and definitely a goal scoring midfielder

4.) 07 Aug 2022 22:03:15
Don't disagree Wolfthistle/Wolvessida if an offer off £40M comes in for MGW, then sell him and put the money into Nunes. Then bring in a Striker, job done, that would then become a very good window.
Having said that it would be a shame to lose Coady but it looks like the role Nuno created for him is going as we transition to 4 at the back. Personally, I'd like him kept, but if he's not going to get game time I suppose he'll go.

5.) 07 Aug 2022 22:10:57
I still think we need 6 players Guedes excites me but the club need to provide Bruno with options on his bench.
The subs getting yesterday were Bueno, Cundle and Campbell .
I think with the signing of Guedes who I expect to be a replacement for Traore.
We still need a cb (not confident of our cbs playing as a back 2), wing back, attacking midfielder, forward and Striker.
Although why not give Traore the wages he wants sign him for 3 years and try to get our money back next year whilst strengthening our squad and bench?
Wouldnt rule out keeping Cutrone as well and get him imposing himself on the opposition as a front 3.

Would Mark Robins, ex Cov, be an option?
We all keep talking Potter and Moyes!

1.) 05 Dec 2024 23:23:02
Rob Edwards for me

31 Oct 2024 07:46:05
Looks like the Palace game will be difficult as they have hit a bit of form?

1.) 31 Oct 2024 10:29:32
They seem to be our bogey team. They've won 6 of the last 7 against us.

2.) 31 Oct 2024 10:31:04
Yes although did suffer a couple of injuries last night.

3.) 31 Oct 2024 11:53:23
Yes Eze hamstring and Wharton groin, two of their better players I believe, hopefully they'll have to readjust on sat night and with our home advantage we'll be able to finally beat the bogey and claim 3 points.

4.) 31 Oct 2024 12:38:26
Brighton were a bogey team for us, but we got a credible draw after being two down. We can do the same or better against Palace. If we can't, GON could be sacked. A PL coach with extensive experience would have done better for us ever since that morale-destroying Coventry defeat last season. Man U finally say the light and pulled the plug. Fosun will do the same if things do not turn around.

5.) 31 Oct 2024 12:51:33
Our continuing problem is that the opposition doesn't have to be in form to beat us. I honestly feel that we would struggle against most Championship teams, there needs to be a change and that won't change even if we beat Palace.

6.) 31 Oct 2024 14:37:56
Derry, it goes without saying that a good coach should be able to lift a team after a defeat such as the Coventry one. Bounce back. We've been on largely a terrible run since that defeat, in fact clear relegation form. The big question to me is, who lifts Gary? He has to lift himself before he can lift the team.

7.) 31 Oct 2024 15:04:03
O'neill reckons our next 2 games are NOT must wins, what planet is this guy on? Tired of his crappy excuses blaming var etc hope he gets ejected from his job after the weekend

8.) 31 Oct 2024 15:54:25
I presume he has been guaranteed longer even if we fail to win the next two games. Also no need to put more pressure on the players, I’m sure everyone is aware of the situation.

9.) 31 Oct 2024 20:38:30
Is this your first season following footy Big nell?! Cause Goat is absolutely correct, Gary will be MORE than aware how important the next two games are just like he will be aware of how incredibly low in confidence the team currently is, cranking up the pressure on the matches does absolutely no one ANY help what so ever other than the opposition! My word some people have short memories and really will use any excuse to have a moan at poor Gary, the man can't win! Feels like some on here won't be happy till we have some bang average Champ manager at the helm! ?

10.) 31 Oct 2024 22:22:31
I wish we all shared your optimism Bullysboy but if we don't win at least one of the next 2 games, we need to cut our losses.

11.) 31 Oct 2024 23:18:58
Of course the next two games are not must win, Big Neil so I reckon O'Neil is from planet earth. What is a must, though, is to get a sufficiently decent points haul from our next eight fixtures (all of which are against average or below average premier league teams) to see us rise out of the relegation zone and to give the squad a very much needed confidence boost. That might mean only getting three or four points from the next two home fixtures. The bell will probably toll for O'Neil if we get less.

12.) 01 Nov 2024 08:54:57
Bullys, that's what we have at the helm now! A bang average champ manager in O'Neil, that's why Bournemouth got shot of him!

The problem will be replacing him, I said at the beginning of October, don't be surprised if it's GP, however, O Neil is 1of the lowest paid manager's in the premier at 1.5 million a year (wish someone would pay me 110k a week for being clueless) so fosun will have to get their hand in their pocket to pay compensation to get rid of him and his staff and significantly more to get GP and his staff in! Will that happen? So looks like we are stuck with the bang average champ manager we have now and should perform adequately next year in the championship! Because that's where we will be!

A quarter of the season gone and we have 2points!

Time for some on here to remove the gold and black tinted glasses!

13.) 01 Nov 2024 10:57:16
BulysBoy. Agree with you totally! It's pretty obvious all Gary was doing was trying to take a bit of pressure off the players. Nothing wrong with that at this point. I stopped posting because of all the negative stuff on here. When the fixtures first came out I came to the conclusion that the first nine games would put us pretty much where we are now unless we were very lucky. Well we haven't been! Actually the only bit of luck we've had ( tongue in cheek) was Gary switching to one at the back for the last few minutes last weekend!
For me we start again tomorrow and look forwards to a positive run for the rest of the season. Let's be positive the most important thing tomorrow is the performance, yes the points would be good as well I know. But our players know how important it is we just need to keep backing them. Keep the faith! COYW.

14.) 01 Nov 2024 11:23:39
Why would you call for tinted glasses removal? Would you prefer that everyone had a negative view and thought it was all doom and gloom? There’s already plenty of that on here every day, repeating the same thing over and over again. I don’t understand what good it would do to think we are already relegated and there’s no hope? If we get relegated I will then remove my glasses and probably look for someone to blame. Until that point I will believe we will be fine, the new players will come good and we will finish mid table.

It reminds me of someone I used to work with, we had to dig a big hole, he would stand there telling me how hard it will be, all the problems we would face and how we should get a digger in, while I just got on with it believing it would be fine. Turned out it was fine which he later admitted, no point focusing on the bad or hard stuff, just get on with the things you can do and control. In our case it’s supporting the team and believing we will be fine. Personally I think it will help the team more than all the negativity and thinking we are down etc.

So no I won’t remove my tinted glasses as it’s the way I live my life, everyone is welcome to tell me I told you so at the end of the season. There’s a few on here that have been saying we would get relegated since I joined probably about 5 seasons ago maybe more. Well it never happened, just wasted energy. Needless to say those people never admitted they were wrong.

15.) 01 Nov 2024 11:46:23
He's not though is he OOTD, remind me how many days excatly has Gary spent managing in the Champ exactly? Next one, of the two seasons Gary's picked up the pieces at the woefully run clubs he was at how many times has he been relegated exactly?! Haha, I love that you accuse me of wearing gold tinted glasses and then in the next breathe suggest that Graham Potter would take this mess on, hilarious! Graham Potter behave, more likely Harry Potter!
I'll make a prediction, if we do get rid of GON (and make a few of you clearly very happy) I suspect we'll have Rob Edwards in by the end of the week. As he's also used to trying to work miracles whilst being paid buttons!
People don't seem to realise that Graham Potter was availible on a free when we took Gary on and the job back the was arguably FAR more appealing (e.g. we still had Neto) don't remember him even being tied with the job but now he suddenly wants it does he? What's changed then cause he CLEARLY didn't want it back then? ?

16.) 01 Nov 2024 19:56:26
Probably wanted a break from the game to recharge his batteries. He could afford to do so.

17.) 02 Nov 2024 00:53:33
So now he's had his recharge and apparently now wants to take over a club that's on two points having sold their two best players with little money to spend?! OK I'm in, let's wait and see if he EVER even applies for the job?! I'm feeling fairly confident on this one considering he CLEARLY didn't even apply when it was a MUCH more enticing job! Gold tinted galsses indeed, hilarious ???

18.) 02 Nov 2024 08:55:23
BullysBoy, if GON is sacked (the media are saying he has 2 games to save his job), who comes in?

05 Sep 2024 18:27:03
I would normally agree with GON wanting to go with a back four but I don't think our defence is good enough tbh.if only we had managed to get 2 in before the deadline.maybe in Jan when window re-opens.In the meantime revert to the old system of 5 might be more productive?

1.) 05 Sep 2024 21:07:43
No idea why they haven't looked at signing John Egan, premier experience and know how, would be excellent back up and at 32 still got a couple of season's in him. This policy of signing one for the future is ok but defence is suspect now and can't wait about for results.

31 Aug 2024 08:37:04
Has Podence gone?

1.) 31 Aug 2024 10:14:14
I believe the Saudi window closes in about a week's time. So if the rumours are true and that is where Pod is going, it could happen any time between now and then.

2.) 31 Aug 2024 10:18:14
Don’t think so but Saudi transfer window doesn’t shut till Monday night so plenty of time for things to happen

3.) 31 Aug 2024 10:22:24
Still in talks I believe Nigel. Saudi window doesn’t close till midnight on Monday. But last I heard was it was looking very much like he’d be on his way

4.) 31 Aug 2024 11:05:40
I think a potential move to Saudi has a couple of days to run as their transfer window closes later than ours.

28 Aug 2024 18:03:59
I see we have loaned out another defender to Huddersfield!
