Town Closing in On Chopra Signing
Town Closing in On Chopra Signing
Thursday, 9th Jun 2011 22:42

Town continue to close in on the signing of Cardiff City striker Michael Chopra. As revealed by TWTD this morning, the 27-year-old was at Portman Road today to talk terms and to undergo a medical.

As of this evening, we understand that the deal is not yet complete but it’s likely that the former Sunderland and Newcastle man will be a Town player before the weekend with negotiations set to resume on Friday when he seems set to put pen to paper.

Town and Cardiff have agreed a £1.5 million fee for the former England U21 international with his agent Kenny Moyes confirming earlier today that his player is “keen” to join the Blues.

Meanwhile, we understand that Town are also continuing to talk to a number of other players regarding moves to Portman Road in addition to Chopra and Ivar Ingimarsson, who was also at the club today. Both chief executive Simon Clegg and manager Paul Jewell have been away from Town this week - Clegg at the Football League AGM in Cyprus - but this hasn't prevented them from continuing discussions with several parties.

Jewell is probably looking to make up to eight signings over the summer as he tries to build a more competitive squad for the season ahead.

Chopra would be the most exciting striker signing since Johnno and Stewart IMHO. Get him fit and watch him fly!

Here here Sindre!!!! Eight signings would be lovely, sell Leadbitter and Scotland definitely, maybe a couple others and if the signings are good ones we can start to think of competing at the top of the league! Chops' signing is certainly a good one to start with! Can't say I know anything about Ingimarsson but, in PJ we trust!

Get in!!! COYB!! eight signings?? Wow, that means some leaving for sure!! I fear Connor may be on his way then, seems a shame, but I am hopeful, surely Liverpool can't have Anymore cash can they??
Agree with you Sindre94, ME must be digging deeper this time around.

Ingimarsson will be a great signing. Very similar to McAuley but a little quicker and he can pass the ball out rather than the big hoof. Pleased if Chopra does come but will take nothing for granted until the ink is on the forms.

sixtouchfootball, just to be picky I believe Leadbitter and Edwards signed together? Anywho this would be a brilliant double signing, if it doesnt get cocked up tomorrow then I will be a very happy man in a pub on Friday!

Chops is more important tho.

Chops & Ivar will be great additions to the squad, if they sign, phil is suggesting PJ mite sign another 6, St Ledger, Tracey, D.Green, A.Cresswell, Haroun, another striker Baldock or Le Fondre. Let's hope S.Clegg gets some credit as well gets unfairly slammed on here. COYB!!!
