    In this quiet spell I got to think how much our overseas scouting has improved last 6 months.
    Going back in my Town sporting life (pun intended!) I was lucky to have seen the great Dutch players who crossed the North Sea. Muhren, Van Thijssen, Reuser, Fabian Wilnis and no doubt others. My mind wanders, Blinkenstein?
    The Dutch schooled such gifted, talented players that naturally lend themselves to the Ipswich McKenna style.

    From what I have seen, Matusiwa has begun to show his class. Ok, he was spotted in the French league but here he is on our Suffolk turf. And Akpom comes from that once giant of a club, Ajax. I hope we carry on scouting, as this years recruits have really added something special. Kipre, Nunez, Cajuste, and Egele's time will come, such a young talent.

    How many nationalities is that?

    Don't forget the "Irish" contingent!
