Seaman Backs Wright Mon 21st May 2001 15:16 England and Arsenal keeper David Seaman has backed Richard Wright to be his successor at international level. Wright has so far made one appearance for the full team in the eventful Malta match last summer. Since then David James seems to have nipped ahead of Wright in the pecking order but Seaman seems in no doubt that Wright is a quality keeper. |
Burchill Returns Mon 21st May 2001 14:33 Loanee Mark Burchill has returned to Celtic. The striker was brought to Portman Road as a replacement for Marcus Stewart when he was serving his three match ban for his red card against Leeds. Burchill scored one goal, against Bradford, in his two starts. He also made five appearances as sub. |
New Verheyen Bid Mon 21st May 2001 12:49 Reports this afternoon are suggesting that Town could be about to launch another bid for long-time target Gert Verheyen. The Belgian international was watched by Town scout Romeo Zondervan yesterday afternoon as he starred in Club Brugge's 6-0 win over Racing Genk. |
Burley Denies Brynjar Interest Mon 21st May 2001 11:47 Town manager George Burley has denied that he is after Stoke's Icelandic defender Brynjar Gunnarsson. The rumour suggesting Town interest in Hermann's international team-mate had been around for several weeks, but appears to be merely that, a rumour. |
More on Gunnarsson Mon 21st May 2001 10:11 There seem to be further developments on the Brynjar Gunnarsson situation. We have been reporting rumours in Stoke suggesting he may be a Town target for two weeks and reports now suggest the Blues have been given permission to speak to the player. |
Stewart Not Called Up Sun 20th May 2001 20:06 Marcus Stewart has not been included in Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad for the friendly with Mexico. The striker was thought to be the most likely Town player to be involved with Richard Wright off for an operation tomorrow. |
Derby 1 - 1 Town Sat 19th May 2001 18:22 Another last day of the season decider and again other sides failed to do Town a favour. As with Wolves and Blackburn on the last day of the last two seasons both Charlton and Leicester failed to take points from Liverpool and Leeds. Unlike on those occasions Town failed to fulfil their side of the bargain, only managing a draw with Derby. |
Gunnarsson Rumours Persist Fri 18th May 2001 18:58 Rumours in Stoke continue to suggest Town interest in Icelandic central defender Brynjar Gunnarsson. Stoke failed to make the Second Division play-off final, and therefore the First Division, and manager Gudjon Thordarson is likely to struggle to keep several of his players. |
Wright Signs! Fri 18th May 2001 13:52 As expected Richard Wright has signed a new deal with Town. The keeper will stay with Town until the end of the 2003/04 season. He is pretty much the last of the younger Town players to be tied down on a long-term deal. |
Wright Says He's Keen to Sign Fri 18th May 2001 10:03 Richard Wright has confirmed he will be signing his new deal once a few minor details have been sorted out. Earlier both George Burley and his agent Jonathan Barnett had said a deal was imminent. |
