For whatever reason there always seems to be players you see playing for other teams that you just have a gut feeling will play for Town at some point in their career....
For me I always thought Paul Goddard would play for us
I also thought David Nuggent would play for us!
The other one that always stuck in my mind was Ryan Shawcross - and still think he could do a job for us at this level.
Anyone else that you were convinced would play for Ipswich at some point!

Am I right in thinking that Shawcross is now part of a very leaky Inter Miami defence? He was one a few years ago that would have been a brilliant signing however stayed at Stoke too long when his stock was high and career petered out.
Nugent the obvious one, as well as Billy Sharp. George Boyd was close a few times too. [Post edited 5 Aug 2021 10:11]

Always thought we’d sign Daryl Murphy permanently one day, and then we did. |  |

Unless I’m misunderstanding the OP, Paul Goddard played for us 72 times |  |

There were a few years at the start of the Evans era when we were linked with James Coppinger from Donny, and I held on to the belief that we would for far too long given he spent 17 years there in the end. |  |

Topically - I think - once we started to slide I always thought Simeon Jackson might end up here.
Mariappa too......albeit a bit more high end. |  | | |

Yes, but prior to us signing him I always thought he'd play for us! In all honesty I thought we got him and Whitton too late in their career - shows how little I know! | |

Didn’t his wife get a job at Ipswich hospital according to some on here? Those were the days. Everyone was seen at Copdock Tesco and parking at Gatwick to get to away games |  |

I remember thinking we could sign Nick Pope back when he was at Charlton, so he'd arrive like a Scott Loach. Nugent also the obvious one.
I also thought Matty Fryatt would turn up one day, as he loved a mid table Championship side. |  |

Peter Whittingham (RIP).
Always thought I'd see him in a Town shirt at some point. |  |

I have no idea but that sounds like exactly the kind of reason for a rumour like that to spread back then, twas a simpler time. I heard him on the radio last year and he said he does a lot of yoga with his wife, as an aside. | |

Always thought former academy player Richard Keogh would end up back at Town.
Also thought Tommy Smith would comeback and end his career at Town.
Still time….. |  |

No real reason. Just thought he'd pop up one day, holding a child-sized shirt on the pitch. |  |

defo info - I met his dad a few years back in lanzarote and chatted to him about this , his dad was in butts with some mates on the beer whilst son was at club, medical done , fee was agreed , deal was done , and he was waiting on the powers that be to put the final stamp on it and whilst he was waiting for the call from above , and getting a piss#ed off as it was taking so long his agent with him received a call and said another team wanted him and all he had to do was drive up and sign, matched ipswich on everything, hence the rest his history and he never played for town. His old man was gutted cos he loved butts wine bar .
I think it was leicester back in 2010/2011 [Post edited 5 Aug 2021 10:04]

Yes I was going to say him, we were linked with him from time to time. | |

I always imagined Nigel Clough would play for us one day, similar sized clubs and all that. I was also convinced for awhile he would be our manager. |  |

I'm always baffled that Leroy Lita never played a competitive game for us.
He would have fit perfectly during our 'sign strikers 5 years after they were good' phase. |  | | |
