Nick Ames' write up on our transfer window for the Guardian 16:59 - Feb 4 with 3492 views | jasondozzell | Ipswich A mixed window for Ipswich finished with a late move for the West Brom keeper Alex Palmer, necessitated by injury and uncertain form afflicting their existing options. Loan moves for Ben Godfrey and Julio Enciso, along with the £20m addition of Jaden Philogene, had been longer in the making and add quality to a squad that faces its work cut out to stay up. But Ipswich did not land the seasoned centre-forward relief for Liam Delap that they sorely lack, and they could also have done with a robust midfield addition. A late nibble at their former player Flynn Downes, unsettled at Southampton, came to nothing. At least the sought-after Delap will stay put for now. Nick Ames Key ins: Jaden Philogene (Aston Villa, £20m), Alex Palmer (West Brom, £2m), Julio Enciso (Brighton, loan), Ben Godfrey (Atalanta, loan) Key outs: George Edmundson (Middlesbrough, £500,000), Harry Clarke (Sheffield United, loan), Ali al-Hamadi (Stoke, loan) Full article here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/feb/04/transfer-window-verdict-how-eve |  | | |  |

If he was doing a Wolves write up, the most significant piece of business for them was keeping hold of Cunha - bit like us with Delap. The CM was net zero because they lost one as well. |  | |  |

Wolves The appointment of Vítor Pereira in December was likely to instigate work in the market because he saw the failings within the squad. Unfortunately, it was not the smoothest month at Wolves; rumours swirled around the future of Matheus Cunha and signings proved hard to come by, demonstrated by missing out to Tottenham on Danso. The impressive Emmanuel Agbadou joined from Reims to bolster the defence and was soon reunited with his former clubmate Marshall Munetsi and joined by Nasser Djiga. Wolves hope those two will settle as quickly. Most importantly, Cunha stayed. WU Key ins: Emmanuel Agbadou (Reims, £16.6m), Marshall Munetsi (Reims, £16m), Nasser Djiga (Red Star Belgrade, £10m) Key outs: None |  | |  |

Exactly what the piece says. Was really hoping Cunha would go. |  | |  |

Signed a new deal into the bargain didn't he? |  |

I think we'll try for him whatever division we're in. Quite excited by the prospect of our summer CM business. |  | |  |

Unlike the Sky Sports News "expert" insight, and I can't believe they said what they said, that Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton had accepted relegation and were not going to spend any more money on trying to stay up! This was live as well. |  |
