Barnett Attacks Town Fans! Wed 05th Jul 2000 13:45
Jonathan Barnett has hit back at criticism from Town fans asking: "Will Ipswich Town want to look after him when he's 40? Will those supporters who are criticising me now be having a whip round for Richard when he's too old to play?" |
Keeper Rumours Galore Mon 03rd Jul 2000 10:42

Gunners in for Wright Sat 01st Jul 2000 12:31
Reports today suggest that Arsenal may be about to make a bid for Richard Wright. Arsene Wenger is said to be a long-time admirer of Wright and sees him as an ideal replacement for 37-year-old David Seaman. Town would look for a fee of £4 million and above for the full international keeper transfer-listed this week. One report claims that Alex Manninger may come to Town as a make-weight in a deal for Wright, although this seems to be pure press speculation. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, linked with Wright despite his statement yesterday saying he had made no contact with club, player or agent Jonathan Barnett, looks likely to monitor the situation. |

Agent Touts Wright Once More Wed 21st Jun 2000 12:54
Jonathan Barnett, the increasingly unpopular with Town fans agent acting for Richard Wright, has said that the Town goalkeeper would be more than happy to speak with Celtic. Barnett, also agent for Kieron Dyer and Matt Holland, said "Celtic are a big club and, if the opportunity came, he would certainly talk to them but it is not something that we have discussed". Barnett added that Wright was happy at Town and that no actual approach had been made by Martin O'Neill's club: "Celtic have not approached Richard and we haven't even discussed it. He is still contracted to Ipswich and intends to see out his contract at Portman Road." Wright has failed to sign an extension to his contract which is up at the end of next season. If he fails to sign an extension Wright will be able to go on a free abroad or, as he will still be under 24, on a reduced fee within the UK. It looks likely that Town will offer Wright for sale if no extension is signed. |
