Mason 47 1,351 Posted January 31, 2019 Think that link is about as far off the mark as Ivo usually is from his man. I guess now we understand why we kept hearing 'Pinto set for turkey move' recently. Jokes aside, he's probably quite similar to Chambers in that he's a defender that isn't very good at defending but is really good at giving the crowd a roight ol' fistpump, so he's probably a good fit. Not sure he would take a permanent move there given their likelihood of dropping, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Since 1980 27 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) If he goes hope he signs under same arrangement as Nelson at Reading. Rivvo, no spam, just a mistake, link now corrected Ron, thanks for your post!!

lake district canary 4,520 Posted January 31, 2019 Might be a goer if he and his family are settled and want to stay in the area.  Wouldn't hold it against him if he did either, comes across very well as a likeable genuine character.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splendidrush 698 Posted January 31, 2019 He's under contract with us till the end of the season so he'll make no less by staying here. It's not as if he'll stay at 1p5wich after his loan expires. I can't see what's in it for anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted January 31, 2019 Even less likely then. Why would Ivo and his agent give up 6 months of high wages to be playing in League 1 next season? If he moved somewhere realistic today I still reckon Norwich would be paying him a % of his wages for 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess if he feels like a longer term deal might provide stability and also he might want to play football. It may be he could have 6 months at £30k (estimate) or 2.5 years at £10k (again, complete guess work) and might opt for the latter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 31, 2019 I would be surprised if he does go to Ipswich, due to their immediate prospects being bad. But Pinto has been looking for a new club since last summer and has received zero acceptable offers. The closer he gets to his contract expiring the more desperate he will become. Clubs like Ipswich who are fighting relegation tend to get a little silly with their money as well. They may offer him a pretty big deal out of desperation. Pinto has a young family and a move to Ipswich means not having to move house. It could be a factor in his decision making. Hopefully he can find something before the day is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted January 31, 2019 I mean, with an infinite number of universes there probably are some where that will happen. Unless we find him a club to take a decent chunk of his wages for 6 months I doubt he'll move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see what's in it for anyone. The binners get a better quality player - on the cheap as it will be highly unlikely they can meet his full wages We get to save money through whatever proportion of his wages they pay Pinto has a better chance of another contract elsewhere if he is playing at a level above the U23s Pretty much a win all round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted January 31, 2019 He's a decent full back at this level, he's lost his place only because we've had an exceptional youngster come through.  A bit surprised if he's struggling to find a move but I wonder if he's on wages that are a bit high and hasn't come down to a more realistic level.  Would be a major surprise if the binners could make it worth our while - at the moment he still gives valuable cover for the position. So hopefully a complete non-story !
