We remember when you first arrived at Portman Road on loan – an unknown quantity with everything to prove. Those early days weren't easy for you, were they? The adjustment period, finding your feet, getting used to Kieran McKenna's system. But we saw something in you, and more importantly, we were patient. That's what Ipswich fans do – we stick by our players.
McKenna worked tirelessly with you, nurturing your talent and helping you grow into the player we all knew you could become. Gradually, you became integral to our team, a first-choice player in the side that achieved promotion to the Premier League. We watched you develop, we celebrated your progress, and yes – we fell in love with you as a player.
They say never fall in love with a loan player, but we couldn't help ourselves. When McKenna made it clear he wanted you to stay permanently, our board backed him without hesitation. The lucrative contract we offered showed just how much faith we had in you. The fans were ecstatic – finally, you were truly one of us.
The Premier League season was tough for everyone. The team struggled, results didn't go our way, but through it all, the fans continued to back you. We could see your progression, particularly in the defensive aspects of your game. You were working harder than ever, and we caught glimpses of what you could achieve at the highest level. Even when relegation became reality, we never stopped believing in you.
We all feared you'd leave us then, but when no club met your release clause, we dared to hope. With you in our squad, learning and developing under McKenna's guidance, we knew we had a genuine chance of bouncing straight back to the Premier League – and this time, you'd be better equipped for the challenge.
We don't know what advice you're receiving from those around you, but we're certain our manager has made it clear just how integral you are to this team. The fans love you, Omari. That's not something that happens lightly at this club.
This period of uncertainty must be unsettling for you. We understand that you, like us, want to be playing Premier League football. But please, don't tarnish the image you've built here. Don't damage the memories we've created together.
Show your appreciation to a club and fanbase that has supported you, wanted you, and genuinely loved watching you play. Do what you do best – play football.
If a club comes in with an offer that's truly impossible for us to refuse, then so be it. That's football. But until then, if you're confident in your ability – and we know you should be – then get on that pitch and show everyone what you can do. Show us, show prospective employers, show the world.
You're a footballer, Omari. So play football. Let your manager deal with the noise, the speculation, the politics. Your job is to express yourself on the pitch, to remind everyone why we fought so hard to keep you here.
The town is behind you. The fans are behind you. Now we need you to get behind the team.
Please note: prior to hitting the post button, I've double checked for anything that could be construed as "Anti Semitic" and to the best of my knowledge it isn't. Anything deemed to be of a Xenophobic nature is therefore purely accidental or down to your own misconstruing.
From the day you arrived on loan, we saw your potential. Under McKenna’s guidance, you grew into a key player, helped win promotion, and earned a permanent place here. Even through a tough Premier League season and relegation, our support for you never wavered.
We understand your ambition to play at the highest level, but please don’t forget the club and fans who stood by you. Until an irresistible offer comes, show your quality on the pitch, keep growing, and help us fight for promotion again.
The town is behind you. We need you behind the team.
Clearly not a popular view with others on here, but I agree with you. He has definitely been the player I've enjoyed watching the most over the last couple of years.
I hope he does read it- it's a fair summary and a reminder of the time ((up to now), he's spent here.

“We stick by our players”? Some are already criticising those who signed this summer, others are questioning signings we haven’t even made yet. I’ve done it, we all do. We’ve got a good fan base but I don’t think we offer any more loyalty or support than the vast majority of other teams do to their players.
I don’t like how he’s going about it but it’s modern football. We’ve benefitted from it in the past and will do in future.

missing one carling cup game is rather different to pledging to never play for the club again even if the window closes without a move to liverpool!
Enough of that applying a sense of perspective to anything footie related...our reserves lost on pens to a lower league team's reserves don't you know.

what would it be like on here if we'd done a middlesbrough last night instead?!
We heard the news—you’re leaving. Again. For the third time. This week.
We just wanted to say: thank you. Thank you for the memories, the goals and the Instagram stories from Dubai or whichever destination it was after this Summer's Under 21 Euros
We understand. It must be hard playing in front of tens of thousands of fans who adore you, in a stadium that literally sings your name. Who wouldn’t want to trade that for a potential spot on the bench somewhere else in a higher league
We’ll miss your dazzling stepovers , your passionate badge-kissing (right before transfer season), and your post-match interviews where you said, “I’m just focused on the team” while your agent was already on the phone with 3 or 4 clubs.
But go. Fly. Chase your dreams. And when you’re subbed on in the 89th minute of a Europa Conference League qualifier, just know—we’ll be watching
With all the love and passive-aggression we can muster,
