Agreed. Phil’s report said , linked, this other one said , about to sign..... I know this could be classed as nit picking , but just thought it sounded s Hut more close to being a done deal . Whatcha think? | |

Difficult to tell if someone is reading more into it that is really justified, or if they have some def info. Phil was rather pouring cold water on it yesterday: Bury have a CVA by PhilTWTD 18 Jul 2019 16:48He terminated his contract so I don't think that changes his situation. But I'm not sure there's any interest from us beyond him being on our radar given his availability. | |

Town to sign Bury captain & defender?? on 09:07 - Jul 19 with 4498 views | SaigonTractor | Bury supporting mate of mine just told me "He was probably our worst starting 11 player" which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me. However that article seems pretty high on him so honestly I'm not sure what to think. At this point I'd take anyone who's ever played in central defence. | | | |

Oh well, it’ll be what it’ll be I guess. Big no doubting we desperately need some defenders in through the door ASAP. We’ll see what happens👠| |

As far as I'm aware it's nothing more than him being potentially on the radar due to his availability. Don't think there's talks or anything like that. Obviously we've got another centre-half, James Wilson, on trial at the moment, so seems less likely that Thompson will happen. | | | |

On the surface, it would appear Thompson's pedigree (Captain of a promotion-winning team) is better than Wilson's (older, patchy recent career). Both have some experience in L1. Tho perhaps a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, with Wilson already in the door and on trial. | |

I think Wilson has more experience at League One level and has been at a bigger club, Sheffield United, so his pedigree is probably slightly the better, although not a huge amount in it and, as you say, wasn't a regular last season. I'd expect him to play tonight, so we can get a look at him. | | | |

And I guess Wilson will take £500 a week plus expenses. | |

Probably similar wage expectations - in Thompson's case also that he'll actually be paid by his next club - given they've both been with clubs towards the top of League Two. | | | |

Do we actually have a club radar then? Makes sense, as radar was developed at Felixstowe. I think this is actually the club radar in operation | |

The football club is a single entity. Therefore ITFC is. | | | |

Grammar Schmammar. I am in the "Ipswich Town are" camp on this, it just sounds right. Though if they had gone long-winded with Ipswich Town Football Club, then 'is' would have sounded better then. For me, Ipswich or Ipswich Town refers to a wider collective rather than a single entity and so 'are' works, but ITFC or Ipswich Town Football Club refers to that single entity and so 'is' works better there. | |
