so he is eying a move to Wrexham ! lol

Silly season on made up nonsense in a south american third tier press continues. When we hear something from the player himself, we will believe it. Until then, this is all just 3rd party hearsay

So he's a Maxican't rather thank a Mexican?

‘Club importante’ in Spanish means a club with high stature in terms of competition. It likely means he’s looking for a club playing in one of the European competitions - europa or champions league. Neither her nor the manager are disrespecting or dismissing Ipswich.

I don’t know what the exact quote in Spanish was but if he said “Quiere dar un paso importante en su carrera.” It means, he wants to take an important step in his career.

Relax people.

Timkatieadamotfc. Yes, I am. There are only 2 midfield places I'm the team, so with one more im, we'd have 4 players for those 2 spots. What does it matter thst mo1s heard of Matusawi? Hardly anyone had heard of Cajuste until he signed for us. So ur now saying Humphries isn't good enough? Despite mamy fans having been saying he,should be playing for some time. Of course I'd like a 2nd midfielder to come in. But is anyone gonna be happy to sign, knowing they may not play, with 5 vying for the 2 spots? Also believe, if we were to get injury issues in there, the likes of Oshea or Woolfie could do a job there, if required. Playing the holding role isn't so much different to playing in defence. Only talking about in an emergency of course. And before you say that's rubbish, just remember, Wark started as a defender, so its clearly possible.

Timkatieadamitfc. Btw, what do you mean , if Humphries is called back? Hes not on loan anywhere.

TomCruise - true, though essentially it means the same as 'important club' in English. On some metrics Ipswich rank around 100-150 in world football clubs. It is not unreasonable for someone with his CV to aim higher than that. This is the price of relegation.

No problem if you don't ask you don't get..

OliverR16 - But that is why you can't just directly translate someone's words from one language to another and expect the meaning to stay the same.

In English, if its warm you might say 'I'm hot' or 'I feel hot' but in Spanish 'estoy caliente' or 'Siento caliente' will have awkward or unintended sexual connotations. In Spanish you'd say 'tengo calor' (I have heat) just as you 'have hunger' (tengo hambre) rather than 'feel' it in Spanish. Ironically, 'having heat' in English might be odd itself!

The point is, judging someone based on a literal translation is often unfair or misguided because languages don’t work word-for-word — they carry different cultural meanings, idioms, tones, and social norms.

'Club importante' literally means 'important club' but in Spanish it means something different.

For example, an 'old friend' in English is someone you've known a long time (regardless of age). Translated into Spanish (viejo amigo) just means a friend who is old (in age).

TomCruise. You probably know a lot more about the spanish languauge than me but does Marcel translate to Marcella as you refer to the player as her ?

Barty - Typo!

TomCruise. Si Si El Typo. Cheers mate

I wonder what triviality we can get worked up about, forensically analyse syntax over whilst forgetting how to spell will come next?

Yeah, understanding people from other cultures is so tiresome isn't it.

No Tom Cruise: just you.

What a load of cr....p is this on a football website.

If he joined and things didnt go well, hed probably claim home sickness then he could potentially upset the apple cart in the dressing room. I for one would be glad to not have, what could easily become, over paid baggage.

Great so we move on.

Maybe someone should tell him we have two Taco Bells in Ipswich?

According to reports on social media Ruiz has not received any formal offers and has not rejected any club at this point. So potentially there is still the possibility of a deal to be done.

A player we've never heard of playing for an " important " team we've never heard of.
They probably use cacti for goalposts. His loss , he could make a name for himself here, then may be he could be an " important " player.
