Johnson for England Tue 22nd Aug 2000 10:39 Town manager George Burley has said that Town striker may still have a chance of making it in an England shirt despite last season's international shenanigans. Johnson was linked with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as it was thought his possession of a British passport despite being born outside the UK meant he was eligible for any of the home countries. This however was found to be untrue as his mother was born in England. |

Club Confirm Scales Medical Tue 04th Jul 2000 20:31 Town have confirmed that John Scales had a medical at Portman Road today and will announce the result tomorrow. Scales himself has been saying how much he relishes the opportunity Town have given him: "The thought of living and playing in London by joining Wimbledon was a mouth-watering one. It was where I started my career and I have great respect for their manager Terry Burton. But the pull of the Premiership is a strong one. I've played more than 500 games in my career, the majority in the top flight and I want to stay there. I hope this initial one-year deal will be the start of an even longer career with Ipswich. This is an exciting opportunity for me." |
Wright Decision Today Thu 29th Jun 2000 10:44 Usually reliable sources are indicating that today will see Town make an announcement on the future of England keeper Richard Wright. And the clever money seems to be on the 22-year-old failing to put his name on a new contract and therefore being put on the transfer list. Most were expecting Town to make an announcement tomorrow when Wright was due to come back to manager George Burley after speaking to him last Friday. Wright has one year of his contract left and Town want to avoid him going abroad on a Bosman or at a reduced fee to another UK club. |

And he has endeared himself to supporters all the more by speaking of his feelings for the club: "Three months ago coming to Ipswich was an adventure — it is very good to be back again. I’m very, very pleased to have signed a contract and let’s hope we have a great season — as good as the final months were for me of last season. I am really looking forward to playing in the Premiership with Ipswich. We have a good group of players and I think we can do well. Ipswich is a nice place with a great group of players who I think can survive in the Premiership. I didn't speak to any other clubs as I'd made up my mind to come here." What a star! |
Three Year Contract for Reuser Fri 23rd Jun 2000 14:36 Martijn Reuser has signed a three year deal with Town. Manager George Burley said at this morning's press conference: "I’m thrilled we have finally agreed everything with Martijn and he has signed a three year contract. Martijn did superbly well during his loan period at the Club and I’m sure he will be a tremendous acquisition to our squad for the forthcoming season in the Premiership." He was not alone in his praise for Reuser, chairman David Sheepshanks added: "We are in the enviable position of knowing exactly who we have signed and what we are getting following Martijn’s three months playing with the first team squad at the end of last season. He is a popular lad who has already become a big favourite with the fans. On a personal note, I am absolutely delighted Martijn is joining us and wish him the very best of luck, good form and many goals over the coming years at Ipswich Town Football Club." |
