Comment | Morsy Flying Out to Kuwait Today

Another new era is dawning at ITFC and I've lived through a fair few since I first watched a match at Portman Road in 1963. It's the natural order of things, usually evolution rather than revolution. I can fully understand the sentiments about SM being a modern day legend. However I can go back a long way when legends were at the club for years, I could produce a list but I don't think it's neccessary.
I think the nature of football has changed in that players have become ever more itinerant, so it's not a reflection on any of them, they do what is best for themselves and their families, as I would.
I wished SM and his family the very best of luck wherever life takes them in another post, though it actually got a downvote. I think that might have been for something earlier in the post which may have got misinterpreted, or it could simply have been that the voter simply doesn't like a certain section of the community!
As ever it's a game of opinions, and non of us has a monopoly on the correct ones. Once again, good luck SM. |

BurleyJefferson, this isn't really relevant to the article, but given your username I thought you might find this amusing. Some time ago I had something stuffed through my letterbox from the Jehovah Witnesses ( I'm not! ) I looked at the front cover, flipped it over and there on the back was an interview with Derek Jefferson, as you may recall, he " found " religion later on in life. What made me laugh out loud, was that the interviewer asked him if he still played any football, he said he did locally. Then the guy asked him if he still played the same way. DJ said yes, but these days I go back to see if he's ok!! That's the DJ I will never forget.Chopper himself! |

Haha Vanisblue2, Maybe we can find someone called " Shoreditch " one of my favourite areas of London! Nice to have a little bit of humour in here sometimes, it can get a little fraught and intense. |

Yes Orfordbuoy, an issue I had a comment on being a member of the LGTB+ community. As far as I'm concerned, everyone has a right to an opinion, as long as it's done peacefully, even if it doesn't agree with mine! I have no hesitation in wishing SM and his family the very best of luck whether it finally takes him nearer home or not. |

Comment | Hutchinson Release Clause Deadline 5pm
at 17:54:47
Wischip, oh my, I'm not a film buff, but that is one hell of a movie, everyone should watch it, the irritating fly at the start sets it up, then bang! Lets hope there's no irritating clubs turning up at the last minute for OH, he'll tear the Championship to shreads. As I type it's 5.54pm, not heard anything. |

Comment | Matusiwa: I Think This is My Competition
at 23:39:56
I think I might have done AM a disservice by labelling him as a defensive midfielder. I saw his heat map for Rennes from last season, earlier this evening. He's quite a lot more than that. A belated welcome to ITFC from me Azor, and the very best of luck! |

Forgot to say, as for OH, well I think we're in a win win situation. If by any chance he stays ( because he wants to ), he'll rip the Championship to pieces. If he goes, we pocket a fair amount of money to splash elsewhere, and yes I have figured in the initial £20M we paid, plus add ons. That should leave us with somewhere around a £12.5M profit unless my not always exemplary maths is incorrect! |

Gforce, obviously like me, you're a big fan of Ben Doak. Should have got him in instead of Philogene in my opinion, when we had the chance. This is not to denegrate JP, who we clearly haven't seen the best of. Not easy coming into a struggling side, when you're still young and a lot is expected of you due to the fee paid, then the injury. I'll give him a free pass at the moment. But Ben Doak, yes please! |

Widj123, obviously I don't have a brain, ok back to school for me if they will take a 70yo! Obviously you're a troll with the IQ of a brick, so maybe you can join me. |

at 17:55:27
Maybe he'll give me a loan! Seriously though, he looks like the sort of guy that takes no nonsense judging by the pic only. Though I'm sure as ITFCMonk says above, he's a really good guy, if so, exactly the type of person we want at the club. |

Now we really are getting somewhere, in my view we still need one more midfielder ( creative/forward thinking ), a replacement for AT, and at least one really proven striker, with hopefully a younger, promising one in reserve also, but as the likes of blueboy and others say, it's refreshing to get " ins " instead of "outs ". Still also waiting to see what happens with OH and for that matter JC, it's gone very quiet about him unless I've missed something. Teaming up with his old buddy from Reims might be interesting! |

I did comment about the deal on the article before this, but I'll just repeat the main message from it, which was basically, welcome to Portman Road Cedric, and if you do indeed give everything out on the pitch every time, you'll be able to add ITFC to your list of very satisfied club fans. |

The key saying from the interview, " Everywhere I've been the fans liked me because I give everything on the pitch, I give everything for the club, I give 100% on the pitch, and I'd say this is my strength ".
If you do that here Cedric, you'll certainly be able to add ITFC to that list, welcome to Portman Road and the very best of luck. |

Baino, great comments and completely agree with just about everything you said. I'm sure ( apart from the few trolls in here ), we are all desperate for the club to be a big success story, on the pitch especially, but off it too. I'm very fortunate in being way more than old enough to have seen the good times here, and I'd love to think the younger supporters will get their turn too.
I guess we all have different ways of communicating and look at things differently too, but what binds us all together is far greater than what pulls us apart. |

Blueboy1981 certainly knows how to wind people up in here! I guess there are three types of supporters who post. Those who see everything through rose/blue coloured glasses, those who see everything through a glass darkly, and those who hopefully strike a more balanced view, oh and you can throw in a few trolls too of course, they turn up everywhere. I hope I'm more of one of the ones with a more balanced view, but I'm certainly not perfect.
I'll leave you all to decide where everyone fits. I don't know if the 1981 was Blueboy's birth year or whether it signifies something else, but it was certainly a vintage year for the club, part of a season I'll never forget, so at the very least, he is very well named, and of course whether anyone likes it or not, entitled to his opinions as much as anyone else, like them or not!
As for Snow White, I don't think we'll be seeing her any time soon, she'll melt. |

Nice one Mathblue, made me chuckle! I'll dance on my hat rather than eat it if he does turn up here however.
On a slightly more serious note, seems like CK and AM are on their way. So the way I look at the transfer dealings so far is this. DB doesn't count as he's obviously here as a goalkeeping coach/assistant, and perhaps an emergency back up number three. CK has been mentioned as a right back as well as a centre back, well, he's made 285 career first team appearances and only two of those at right back, so I've got him down as a back up central defender, and who knows, if he really does well, maybe not back up! AM we know is a defensive midfielder, with some impressive stats behind him.
Assuming those two sign on the dotted line, I think we still need a right back, another midfielder ( more creative/forward minded ), at least one very decent striker, I'd most certainly prefer two with maybe one a younger, very promising up and coming type. That covers the must haves for me, anything else will be a welcome bonus! Of course we still await the outcome of the OH situation, and dare I say it after all the articles earlier this week, JC too. Interesting that Jens and Matusiwa were midfield partners at Reims, who knows? Still plenty of interest to keep us guessing! |

I think darkhorse28 has a rather interesting opinion, no idea where he got the idea from, absolutely nothing to suggest it in the admittedly stupidly released letter earlier this week.
One thing's for sure, he's either going to be eating humble pie, or I am! |

Who cares? An irrelevance in the scheme of things. Now if the proper first team squad starts getting beaten by teams such as those, that's a whole different matter. |
