New signing Frederic Veseli says Town received glowing reviews from those he consulted before putting pen to paper on a two-year deal with the Blues.

The Swiss defender or midfielder told the club site: “There were a few options for me so I asked around about the clubs that were interested.

“I spoke to the people I know at Manchester United, people I trust — like the reserve team manager Warren Joyce, who was great for me - and he told me all about Ipswich.

“He said it was a really good club, a family club. He said it was a club where I could progress as a player.

“He told me to come here straight away, and he wasn’t the only one. I had great feedback about Ipswich from a lot of people.

“I spent a week in Ireland with the team and had a good feeling about the manager, the other staff and the players. Even though I did not know anyone, I felt very at home straight away.

“Sometimes you have to go with your emotion. Your heart tells you where to go and I’ve done that. It’s an exciting new challenge for me and I can’t wait.”

AbujaBlue added 15:52 - Jul 19 THe fact that the stadium/training facilities etc. weren't mentioned (not that it is a bad thing to mention) makes this signing feel very genuine. Can't remember a player saying he joined Ipswich by following his heart, so nice to hear. Also nice that Ipswich clearly still has a reputation in places despite our lowly standings of late. Welcome Freddy!

Robbie12345 added 16:01 - Jul 19 Would be interested if he was given number 6, or thats been saved for Bramble, or Khumalo, but i doubt a loanee would be given number 6? Very happy with this signing!!

Mark added 17:04 - Jul 19 I am very pleased about this signing, and I think he could be the solution at right-back. His versatility will come in useful and he could turn into a much better value signing that Stearman would have been given his age and potential. It is nice to hear Ipswich being well thought of, and many players clearly want to work under McCarthy. Mick certainly knows how to build a strong defence, and I hope Veseli will be an important part of that.

ArnieMsBigToe added 18:56 - Jul 19 MM & TC do it again. Please people, do not forget Terry Connors part in our revival. They are really a great team. Frederic is an excellent signing. OK. We're not gonna get Stearman (who I do rate), but it's like being told we can't have Rooney . . . ok then . . . we'll get Messi instead!! Just a small message to all you harbingers of doom. I think you'd better stay quiet.
