Meanwhile John McGreal has been getting used to life around Portman Road. The 27 year old has signed a four year contract and had no qualms about joining Town: "Ipswich is an excellent club. The highest compliment I can pay them is to say that Tranmere always had a plan to get plenty of men behind the ball when we played Ipswich". Yes, John we all remember those games. McGreal makes his debut in Tony Mowbray's position on Saturday.
