First signing to be unveiled at Portman Road this afternoon according to the EADT! Given their reputation for accurate reporting now I'm not so sure! http://www.greenun24.co.uk/ipswich-town/town_close_in_on_first_signing_1_912428
Andy Rhodes will leave Wednesday and take up the vacant gk coach position. This will trigger a move for Jordan Rhodes who is on way back to ipswich for a fee of around 800k after growing frustration of sitting on the bench at hudders. Gav twtd Now TWTD I trust more! Gav and Phil do a fantastic job of keeping us updated on all things Town!!
if hes getting frustrated on the bench at hudders what makes anyone think he'll be able to nail down a starting place a division higher? I know we were all disappointed to see him go but not really sure its worth getting him back especially if the Chopra rumours are true.
For 800k I'd welcome him back with open arms ! Even if Chopra were to come ,,,, Wickham is very likely to be sold this summer. Scotland people are rather unsure about - and I can see going. Priskin no-one can figure out, and again I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him leave. Which would leave Ronan Murray ( who could probably do with being loaned out again ). Rhodes, after a very good goal ratio in the division below, who has developed, improved in every area would be a cracking re-signing. I cannot see it being for £800,000 though.... !
I think Clegg likes this player called "Imminent" because everytime Clegg speaks about new signings he always mentions him! I wonder where he comes from and if he will come on a free!
However fun this all is, it concerns me that a rumour website is the only source of information on Chopra etc! If it was really Chopra, surely Phil would have posted on TWTD by now? He has a lot better contacts than anyone on that rumour website! Secondly, obviously the postings on the rumour website are not by Gav nor Phil! The grammar is pathetic! And they wouldn't post on there and not write a story on TWTD Doesn't make sense! I'm simply thinking the 'imminent signing' will be someone like Treacy, Nosworthy or Haroun. (Hopefully Haroun) Chopra just seems very very unlikely to me! However brilliant it would be! Cardiff don't even have a new manager yet.
Fair points Cinnamon We all know that the rumour site is sponsored by SAXA and so we should take it with a large shovel of salt! (See what I did there!) Its so boring being a Town fan at the moment!
We just need one big star to be the first to sign. The first one should be the most dramatic to make people sit up and beleive this club is going places. Nosworthy would not for me send out the right message. He could turn out to be very good and just what we require but does not install passion and a buzz this club requires. Give us a Bullard. Give us a Chopra/Nugent/Sharp and we can start to believe that the only way is SUFFOLK
Just think though JWM, if it's boring being a twon fan at the moment, how bored must Dangerous Marsupial be if he is coming over to make all of his posts here?
