Great name! Now for Hagerty F and Hagerty R.

Not trying to be negative but... another keeper? Really?

Holy, Cornell, Przybek, Wright (out on loan), and now White.

Just seems a bizarre strategy, even long term. Wish him the best of luck and a promising career with the Town but a bit baffled.

Just how many keepers do we need:?

@shouldistayorcounago I agree, completely baffling...this is the last position we need addressing with Holy as No.1 and Cornell and Przybek as back-ups if needed. We have loaned Wright out as there is no chance of him playing...and then ultimately replace him...Strange !!!
we now have 4 GKs at the club but only 1 RB in KVY.
The club talks about trimming the squad and then signs a player who imo opinion is not required.
I still wish him the best of luck and hope his career at town flourishes !!!

Hes on a £150 a week plus a packet of rolos if he's lucky.... he's competition for the u23s wouldnt really be too worried about this.

Everyone exclaiming bafflement at this.che's 18. In Goalkeeping terms that is a baby. This is is for 4-5 years time if he does well. This is forward planning. At least Wright or Przybek will have to leave due to age requirements from salary cap. This guy will have 3 years eligibility without counting so if he does well that's really useful.

If he has really impressed then it's only good news. He'll cost very very little and it doesn't count to salary cap.

There is literally no issue with this signing whatsoever.

Clouds , shrouds , mystery , no enlightenment ; just a bit baffling OR is someone playing cards close to the chest ?
COYB

I want to say welcome to the lad, but there must be something the Club is not telling us unless they have created a magic potion that converts keepers into 20+ goal a season strikers ?!?!

Promising (presumably) youngster signed. Nothing else to see here, especially anything negative.

Ridiculous - why?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lad must be chuffed - but while Wright is on loan, this is shoitty man management.

But then again ... PL aces at that. Clown.

Ipswich sign an 18 year old and some go into melt down....what the hell is the problem here? Some of you need to get a grip.
Getting increasingly weary of the negativity amongst our "supporters"

Hey Bert, where's Ernie?

Not sure where the meltdown is above? Last time I checked this was a football discussion forum and nearly everyone has wished the lad well.

If you think that's a meltdown then I'd hate you to have see me stub my toe!

Not sure what the issue is.
He's 18, promising and they will have a look at his development for 12 and maybe 24 months. He'll play matches for the U23's and below. No salary cap implications.
Wright has gone out on loan to play in a half decent league (bearing in mind his age), a new experience where he will have to fend for himself to some degree (so grow some, toughen up even maybe), a life experience and most importantly a rare football experience. In theory he can only come back a better player, if he does actually have all the skills to become a decent keeper (I wouldn't know, haven't seen him play, and he just needs to ensure he avoids any lofts and ladders like his old man!).
It sounds like perfect man-management to me!

Sisocoungago - the point is how anyone can take this as a negative is mind blowing. Either deliberately having a pop at club or total naivity of our situation with regards new rules.

You need two keepers for U23 fixtures. Now we have them. Wright is out on loan which is fantastic experience for him AND it takes his wages of the books for salary cap purposes. Next season the squad size reduces further for non U21s so this is actually essential contingency planning. We CAN NOT afford to have Wright or Przybek here next season if in L1 either for salary cost or allowed numbers. We can have 1 in squad max to compete. This guy if he does well won't count to salary or numbers so if he's had a really good trial it is a no brainer. Before anyone smart says we shouldn't be in L1 note I have said 'contingency' planning which any good business does.

Anyone saying this makes no sense - I've explained it so I hope that is helpful. It makes perfect sense.

Good points Terry.

Don't really understand it but then again I haven't understood what's been going on at ipswich for the last 10 years.......🤥

I think 11 goalkeepers is the only formation Lambo hasn't tried so only another six to buy!

Terry_Nutkins - how refreshing to have on here someone with a modicum of common sense and a knowledge of football. As you said, how anyone can question this is beyond comprehension.....Happy Thursday

Thanks Terry for "speaking" so eloquently and factually.
My point is that some seem to just want to have a dig at the club, owner, manager, captain at any and every opportunity..

I understand what you're saying Terry, but surely there are more pressing concerns for the club in terms of other positions - I guess what I'm saying is that right now I would rather these things were prioritised.

Like you say, as things stand we won't be able afford to have both Wright and Przybek next season, so I get that you can make the case for it in that sense. As such I'm happy to say I overlooked that.

What I think makes it seem questionable is the fact that we're so thin on the ground in other positions. As I say, hopefully that will be amended.

Murcia, I hear what you're saying about negativity - the team photo situation, for example, was a crazy situation where everyone and their mum seemed to pile on. I don't think the same thing is true here. The vast majority of us are just questioning if it might be better to get the rest of the house in order first.

Again, I hope he does well, and he won't be on much, but I'd like to see us sort out a few other issues first is all.

Sisocounago - I don't disagree there are other priorities. But it isn't a one or the other situation. This is still a good move. It doesn't mean we're not looking at other things (Although I'm not sure we can get the required quality in now with the cap in other areas).

It's worth pointing out at his level/age it has probably had little input from Lambert and those involved in first team hires (possibly a final signoff). That's normal.

It's a fairly minor acquisition really.

And also sisocounago I don't think you were being deliberately negative like 1 or two others. More raising a question mark. No issues with that in a forum as you say bud.

.... Siso Counago has good ring to it. We should sign him.

Yeah agreed, it really shouldn't be an either or situation but it feels like it probably will be. Still, reasons to be cheerful and optimistic for Sunday's game... if it goes ahead!

Sadly I think Siso Couñago might be out of our price range. Maybe we can make a move for his second cousin Cecil?
