Two Pompey Fees Reportedly Agreed
Two Pompey Fees Reportedly Agreed
Tuesday, 31st Jan 2012 17:38

Town and Portsmouth are reported to have agreed a fee for keeper Stephen Henderson and defender or midfielder Joel Ward. The Blues have been in discussions with Pompey regarding the duo and central defender Jason Pearce for almost two weeks.

If confirmed, the Blues will now have to convince the players to move to Portman Road with Henderson stating his intention to remain at Fratton Park only a few minutes ago via Twitter.

Town are understood to have had their latest offer for Pearce turned down earlier today but with owner Marcus Evans and chief executive Simon Clegg continuing to talk to Portsmouth and the administrator of their parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives.

It usually takes days or weeks for Ipswich to agree personal terms with players, so I cannot believe we will do it in the next 5 hours.

The could be an important day in the history of ITFC as failure to spend during the transfer window could see our relegation to League One. We should have had playeres in earlier in the month, not left it to the final hours.

Maybe Ward but that will be it, then expect more loan signings from next week:-(

The one we really need is Pearce, and I just don't it happening.

But, to be honest, I don't see the other two coming either ... and frankly if the keeper says he wants to stay, it is probably better he does just that. We need players who are going to be 100% committed to our club.

Still, we can but hope

nitfc... do you not think we have cause to moan ???? this is the worst ipswich team in living memory, for most of us, did you see and hear clegg on late kick off, the guy is a total clown and if we dont sort things out we are going in one direction , DOWN. what improvements has there been since evans took over, wake up and smell the coffee. will you shut up if we dont sign anyone? and i dont know about the rest of the fans on here, but i want people in who are proud to wear the shirt of the team i love, we shouldnt have to beg anyone to come play for us, if they are only coming for a wage, well we have some of those already, we need hungry players who want to play and are willing to role their sleeves up for the cause. stephenson has said all the right things.... clegg is not a football man, he hasnt a clue about this club and what it means to us , he must go... coyb

@Dissboyitfc

Unfortunately money is the only reason most players go anywhere at the mo. Yes I want the same as you and players to wear the shirt with pride and passion but I'm afraid that's not likely to happen for a while yet till hopefully we get some kids come through.

Just because a player doesn't want to leave his club doesn't mean he'll never have a passion for an other club, these things grow in time. I'll still be surprised if get them. And if we do It's a start but not everything we wanted. Coyb.....let's hear big noise at PR tonight!!!!!

apparently according to bbc football

Ipswich look to have failed in their efforts to sign any of the Portsmouth trio: Joel Ward, Jason Pearce and Stephen Henderson. #BBCfootball

I have a feeling we're gonna do some last minute business tonight.... the result against West Ham could be anything, remember the current squad are playing for their places. I believe Sonko owes us a solid performance after the Leeds F*ck up.

COYB!!!

P.S

I would die laughing if Holt went to Rangers :P

I'm available on a free transfer incidentally, I am 6ft 4" and could do a job at RB .... I could be at Portman Road before 11 PM .... But I am 34? I'd fit right in :)

No I didn't. Was watching shawshank and forgot everything about late kick off. If that's the case then we'll be waiting a long bloody time then eh! Holding your breath with this lot in charge isn't gonna do your life expectancy any good as I'm sure none of them know what they're doing.

We need pearce!! Yes ward would be another great signing with his versatility but Pearce is a person we want! Why do we need a goalkeeper that doesnt even want to come here and weve just signed one on loan! Use that money to up the bid for Pearce! Pearce and Ward will do nicely!!

i lost faith in this a few days ago, surely we havent been trying to get just these guys in!? thats just plain stupid

should always have back-up options if all else fails!

I'd take any centre half, they're all better than the ones with have who are going to concede 75 tonight
