Players YOU always wished we had signed 13:28 - Nov 8 with 10955 viewsskyblue23

I'm not talking about players we were linked or close to signing and I'm not talking about Messi or Ronaldo. I'm talking players who weren't world beaters you'd have loved to get in an Ipswich shirt at some point in there career.

I'll start, Liam Lawrence whilst he was at Stoke. What a player in that period of his career for the level!

Poll: Paul Lambert moves on, would you be happy if Jim Magilton was given another go?

The Gullit and Gascoigne transfers are often listed amongst footballs 'if only transfers'

As I remember it we did not turn Gullit down as such (as his Wiki page says).
We were considering him as a replacement for Frans Thijssen because it looked like Frans was not going to sign a new contract but then Frans did sign and we did not have a vacancy for another "foreigner".

This was at the time of the 1981 UEFA Cup Final-that is how I remember it anyway.

Were we not pretty close to getting Claus Jensen the summer after we came 5th?

He went to Charlton instead, because apparently there's more to do in London than go to Pals and drink £1.20 pints of Carling, or something. What a dick.

Anyway, he would have been very good indeed; was a constant thorn in our side every time we played Notlob.

Charlie Austin

Strange one, but Shaun Derry too - at the time we were crying out for him.


Agreed re: Shaun Derry. Rather than chasing after a striker or flair player, sometimes it felt we most needed someone to keep things together.

I remember feeling the same about Graham Kavanagh before that. Although that was around the time of Kevin Horlock who I think did a decent but often overlooked job.

Pronouns: He/Him

It would have been great if Magilton had signed Jason McAteer and the player was still on the books when Roy Keane arrived as manager. I reckon a McAteer and Walters united front could have taken Voldemort down within weeks....

Tommy Miller described him as unplayable, but just said he was too old to last a 90.


I think you’ll find he actually said “...he was too old as he was 90”.

That's the version I heard. He was lined up as a replacement that ended up not being needed.
