Comment | Enciso's Knee Injury Not Serious
at 17:27:37
We will need confirmation from the club with the official results - but hopefully only a sprain and he's only out for a short period of time. I imagine he'll definitely be out for Spurs and possibly United but hopfully back soon after! |

Comment | Enciso Set For MRI Scan
at 10:20:20
Planetblue - If it's serious enough that it requires an MRI scan - no way he's playing vs Spurs! |

Comment | Edmundson Fee and Personal Terms Agreed
at 23:46:24
Was hoping we might at least be able to recoup what we paid for him, but I guess with his contract expiring and him being limited to only playing for us an Boro, something is better than nothing.
Thank you George for your contribution to the journey. Best of luck at Boro, and who knows, maybe we'll be seeing you at Portman Road soon, one way or another! |

Comment | Al-Hamadi West Brom Move Breaks Down
at 20:36:07
I did raise an eyebrow when this link was announced, that a team chasing promotion in the Championship were interested in him. If i'm honest he's still unproven at Championship level.
He is in dire need of game time - both to regain confidence and fitness. I think he needs a loan to a top League One side. If a lower Championship side is prepared to make an offer then that would be a bonus. |

Comment | Al-Hamadi Deal Not Done But Baggies Want Permanent Switch
at 19:27:26
I'd take 1m plus performance-related add ons (goals scored and promotion), a sell on fee plus a buy back clause/first option. Similar to the Philogene deal to Hull last year.
IMHO Ali hasn't yet hit his ceiling and has plenty of room to improve, but don't think he'll make it at Premier level, and needs regular games to get himself to Championship level. |

Comment | Hurzeler: Never a Red Card
at 10:29:49
Red card for me.
Pedro is entitled to go for the ball, it was a weak backpass. However if Pedro stays on his feet he can slow himself down and at least attempt to avoid a collision. Yes he may still end up going into Walton but at least he would be in control of himself.
He didn't do that - he literally jumped straight into Walton. By doing so he has lost all control of his body - similar to a 2 footed jump in lunge tackle. This could have caused serious injury to Walton - could have broken his ribs, concussed him or even worse knocked him out. Constitutes dangerous play for me - therefore a red card offence. |

Comment | Town Agree Goalkeeper Data Partnership
at 12:20:12
I know Muric makes the odd calamity error, but if you look past those and analyse the data, I remember reading that his actual goals conceeded is lower than his expected goals conceeded, and by a decent margin too - ie he actually makes saves he has no right to make. I can absolutely see why we used this data to sign him. Was such a shame he had a bit of a mare in his first game as that just gave ammo to the numbskulls who only ever remember bad performances and take no notice of everything good he's done. Again, testament to the data approach and consideration we now take with all our new signings. I think he's going to be a really valuable asset this season if we stand any chance of staying up. |

Comment | Town Closing in On Broja Loan
at 21:43:19
At his age, he needs to be playing regular football and somewhere he can consider 'home'. We can give him that, and if anyone can get the best out of him, McKenna can. Just have to keep him injury free. |

Comment | Town Confirm Cajuste Loan Signing
at 19:20:59
Welcome Jens! Adds much needed legs to our midfield.
Not 100% on the pronunciation (maybe Phil can help) but from the commentary I've seen they pronounce it Ka-yoo-sta |

Comment | Blues Among Clubs Linked With Skipp
at 21:23:35
As others are saying...extremely mediocre.
Possibly a useful option if we're going to play 3 in midfield to sit in front of the defence, but from what I have seen of his performances from Spurs he offers very little creatively. |

Comment | Philogene 'Set to Rejoin Villa'
at 16:01:47
Appears he has made his bed. Now let's let him lie in it and move on. No point crying over spilt milk - we only want players who want to be here. |

Comment | Town Agree Fee For Manchester City Striker Delap
at 14:06:42
Ashton certainly wasn't lying when he said we weren't here to make up numbers!
Omari 20m + Greaves 20m + Philogene 20m + Delap 15m
75m spent already and were still after a keeper and a CM.
We're going to top 100m at this rate. Granted we need them to stay up but these figures are staggering! |

Comment | Three Clubs Agree Philogene Terms With Hull - Report
at 23:53:26
I can see him picking Everton or Palace ahead of us simply because they can probably blow us out of the water financially. Which would be a shame.
Imagine him and Omari on the wings - thats an incredibly exciting prospect for us and a scary one for the opposition defenders!
I suppose on the plus side, he's played against us so he knows exactly how we play - that we play a fantastic brand of football and we have a great set of fans that would adore him. He's seen what McKenna can do for young players and who knows where a move here could lead to - hell maybe he'd get his dream Barcelona move one day! Plus here he'd be guaranteed first team football every week that perhaps the other 2 couldn't - we'd be in effect building a team around him and Hutchinson. Big fish vs large fish etc.
I'd give us maybe a 30% chance of this one but we shall see. |

Comment | Sheeran to Extend Town Sponsorship
at 08:34:38
I'm sure we probably could have touted ourselves around following our new found fame, to find a sponsor who'd probably pay more money - but I'm so glad we've stuck with Ed again this year. He chose us when we were down in league one and I'm glad that we have showed some loyalty too now we're on the cusp of the Premier league. Such a shame he can't be in Ipswich to celebrate with us, but like he said, that sponsorship doesn't pay for itself! He'd deffo be here if he wasnt performing. Enjoy Miami Ed, let's hope the lads do it today and see you back at PR next season! |
