I've found it on five websites. The one I quoted was Football League World. It may be that they all have a common source but neither you nor I will know that. So it certainly is true to say that it was "widely reported", which is what I said.

Andrews is, as yet, an unknown quantity, although he shows promise. Allen manifestly isn't as good as any of our first choice players - you wouldn't really expect a back-up to be - but he is very decent. When fit, I expect Eccles to be our go-to backup midfielder. I think we are lucky to...

It was widely reported as £30,000 per week, so it is understandable that people might believe it: I would be astonished if it was true unless, say, it included a bonus for getting to the Premier League which took his salary for the year to around £1,500,000 (roughly £30,000 per week). That I...

I read earlier today that Birmingham City's new stadium will cost upwards of £3 billion!

I suspect it was as there is a mortgage on the property, unless the mortgagee was the previous owner and the mortgage is to secure deferred consideration for the purchase.

I think it's VERY unlikely but. . . . . 😆

I read recently that he was on £7,500 a week with us, so not one of our bigger earners. I have no idea if this is correct.

So we could still lose Haji then? After all, he came to us from Turkey . . . . . 😳

Just need 30 consecutive maidens and we can steal a tie! 😆

Sonny Baker 0-69 off 6 overs. 😳

Probably as well! This isn't defeat, it's humiliation.

Shocking batting display by England.

I agree. Just Sakamoto and Simms really. The only other thing we could do is to push Torp or Rudoni further forward, although Torp is better shooting from around the edge of the box and Rudonin is better bursting into the box much as O'Hare used to.

Quite right. I meant last "year" as it was towards the end of the 23/24 season. I'm not negative and I want him to be brilliant for us but I was a bit concerned about some of the comments I have seen. My views might have been a bit skewed by the fact that he was, at best, our third choice CB...

I only said, "We will see". Obviously I hope that he is. Quite a few (though I would say a minority) of Ipswich fans are pleased he has been shipped out. I've not see him play, as he was an unused substitute in the league game at the CBS last season (which doesn't exactly inspire confidence)...

They are not. Just free agents until January. P.S. Sparks posted while I was typing 🙂

I have had a look on the Ipswich fans forum. A few are saying "good riddance" to Woolfenden but most are sad to see him go. The consensus seems to be that he is an experienced, calm, dependable CB. He may be just what we need but I wonder if he is really much of an upgrade on Bidwell. We will see.

He has shown some ability to get past defenders and put in a decent cross. It's not guaranteed that he will work there but FL - who has seen far more of him that you or me - obviously thinks he can. I doubt that he will be an out-and-out attacking left wing but remember what I said: Seeing...

I totally agree. I think most footballers should be capable of playing in more than one position. Dion Dublin was a great example of a player who made a big change and was very successful at CB.

FL obviously seems to think he can play there and from the little we have seen I think he is capable of doing a job. He is a good option to bring on (or push forward if he started) for EMC - or Haji if he's playing there - in games where we need to protect a lead.
