I am becoming increasingly uneasy regarding this. What are other peoples thoughts ? So far we've brought in a horrific goalkeeper, been linked to a few. Will we get the job done on the Pompey duo !? We really really could do with a few................ Gonna reopen another topic, yes this one has done the rounds 100 times before. Gio has openly said he wants to leave Spurs. The price is quoted at £4 mill with Bolton and Sevilla linked. However, no1 seems willing to gamble - any chance Spurs would loan him out again ?
I think the Pompey duo could be possible. Seriously its what, January 24 now and even I, one for being relaxed and " give it time " am starting to realistically panic. What infuriates the life into me this season, is how much potential this side has and just how many points we've thrown away ! We really really do need players IN. With terminating Priskin's deal that says to me we'll get in a couple.
Westy Now that Leicester have shown an interest we are doomed, no way will Pearce and Ward opt for us!!!
I agree with you Spanish If we were really serious about these 2 from Portsmouth we should have made them offer that they couldn't turn down from the off! Now that Leicester have shown an interest I think its game over!
I'd like to think Jewell and Co. have plenty more 'irons in the fire' but other than Cresswell we appear to have just signed a load of players no one else wants. There has to be at least 20+ centre backs in maybe the lower breaches of our league, as well as Leagues 1&2 that would do a better job than our chaps are now??? Easier said than done, but just look at Pearce from Bournemouth, I know we tried to get him, but Pompey got him for like £300,000. There must be others we can pry away for what is peanuts to Evans!
I haven't been on this site for a while due to a great sense of apathy overwhelming me on the state of our club, its quite depressing. To be honest I am fed up of Clegg, I don't like his arrogant attitude and I don't think he has a clue about football. Everyone is calling for Jewells head and in some respects I am coming to the same conclusion,but it is Clegg and Evans who made these appointments and for me the buck stops there. How many more managers are they going to hire and fire? We have had a bad defence for years and I fail to see how successive managers magilton, keane and now jewell have failed to address the situation. Its a simple fact, you cannot build a good team with a bad defence and believe me our defence is a complete farce, Brian Rix couldn't write a better script of the on field antics we see every week. I have been to every home game this season and can honestly say I have only enjoyed one game, the Blackpool game even though we threw 2 points away there. I have no confidence that we will sign anyone in this current window, who of any worth would come here, the state we are in! The atmosphere at Portman Road has died and the responsibility for that is on our owners and CEO's heads. Managers and players are also culpable by their deriliction of duty to the fans and good name of Ipswich Town. I have held a season ticket for 15 years ever since I moved down here from Manchester, will I renew? who knows. Every year I tell myself things will get better and renew, but they haven't, quite simply since Joe Royle left we have got steadily worse. So will we sign anyone in the 5 days left? with these clowns at the helm I very much doubt it and will they be any good? again I doubt it. Reason is that we seem singularly successful in turning any decent player into a pile of cack through our coaching, discipline and tactics. Sorry to be so negative but I have never felt so disheartened or disinterested in my saturday football and I blame principally Simon Clegg/Marcus Evans because they don't have a clue about football, fans and loyalty.
