The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted February 20, 2008 I think its more about setting realistic goals at this stage of the season Wiz.If we were pushing for playoffs like the scum, then I would love us to make a move like this. But where we are now, I would see such a move as a waste of money considering we would have to pay premiership wages for the rest of the season. End result would be spending more money to and up in the same league next year as we would have had we not spent the money.Put the clubs position into some perspective before using the "A-word".

we8wba 0 Posted February 20, 2008 http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_3172864,00.htmlIpswich boss Jim Magilton has confirmed he has approached Portsmouth about a three-month loan deal for out-of-favour striker David Nugent. The 22-year-old scored Pompey''s winner against Ipswich in the FA Cup third round in January but has started only seven games since a £6million summer move from Preston. Nugent, who scored on his only England appearance to date, is currently recovering from hernia surgery. "Nugent is a possibility," Magilton told the Ipswich Evening Star. "We have asked Portsmouth about taking him on loan and they have not ruled it out. "We are well aware if he did come he is not at 100% but he is making massive strides to get fit so we will wait and see what happens. "He loves Portman Road and he loves scoring goals here so it would be good to have him in a Blues shirt." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted February 20, 2008 As much as it hurts I think we have to face up to the possiblilty that Ipswich have done well to get an investor who has got millions to spare is prepared to back Jim especially when he wants to get a player in.Also you have to admire them for the way they have made some shrewd purchasesMacedonian midfielder Velice Sumulikoski, 26 cost them £600k in Jan and is being touted to be a talented midfield worthy of the Premier in the next year or so - Alan Quinn -midfielder cost £500k in Jan - Ipswich fans say he''s a real find and one of the best midfielders they have purchased for yearsOwen Garvan - home grown talented 20 yr old midfielder who has been their star up to the arrivals of their new midfieldersJonathan Walters - right midfielder/striker - 25 cost hardly anything from Chester - probably their player of the season so far.So why they are getting tough talented midfielders in for £500k we''ve got Gibbs, Henry and Pattison.I still think that Roeder has done a great job so far but no-one can deny that them up the road have done a fine job too this year and have got themselves into a good position for a play off challenge without spending much cash up to January.

SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted February 20, 2008 I assume that is the David Nugent that Redknapp said wouldn''t be sent out on loan, and himself said he wanted to stay and fight for his place at Pompey for the rest of the season rather than going out on loan?Is that not just BLIND ambition? Am sure we can target plenty of players who we have no hope of getting.Btw absolutely blinding typo Jas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,533 Posted February 20, 2008 Oh right! One point from the last six and we are comparing ourseleves in a bad light with piswich. Get real, we changed our manager during this season and they didn''t. Their season has been continuous and ours hasn''t. Since we drew with them in Roeders first game it''s :-Norwich P19 W9 D6 L4 F23 A21 Pts33 +2Piswich P20 W8 D5 L7 F27 A22 Pts29 +5Roeder has obviously out performed Magilton over that time and our players have out performed theirs. And what''s Pattison suddenly done wrong apart from occasionally being played on the left where......Why do you lot do this to yourselves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted February 20, 2008 Proof of their ambition will be whether the Binners get him. It''s very easy as a piece of PR to say you''re looking at someone good (seem to recall we''ve been spun that line a few times), only for nothing to come of it. So unless he actually goes there I think there''s a fair chance that is just something to give the impression that the Binners are being ambitious...Would be a good signing for them though, if it happened. Fingers crossed it doesn''t... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrow89 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Yep, he''s going to play up front with Jeffers.Thankfully these ambitious folk also managed to hang on to their keeper in January as well signing their former keeper the former poorman rd hero Plug in the summer.

kdncfc 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Roeder may have done well but I''d much rather be in their shoes than ours, they are looking good bets for at least a play off place and even if they fail this year they will have more money to spend in the summer so will be a good bet to go up next year. We will somehow need to sign 10 players in the summer, if Auntie Delia is still in charge then it is difficult to see where the money is going to come from and it is most likely we will go into next season with a very small squad because we don''t have the money to buy enough players. I''m desperately hoping a new investor arrives in the summer to at least give us a chance of building a squad capable of challenging next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 183 Posted February 21, 2008 Ipswich are seeing Nugent as possibly the difference between a play off place and automatic promotion.We could get him in and, realistically, see him as the difference between perhaps 8th or 9th place or 12th or 13th place.Not worth it for us, worth the gamble for them.Problem is, with all the loanees clearing off in the Summer, and Roeder needing, as he says, 6+ players, people are then going to expect a promotion push on what might be a totally different team-possible yes, probable no.The "spine" of his team will be Marshall-Doc-Foz-? -everyone else looking over their shoulders a little bit more?I don''t hate Ipswich, my feelings towards them are largely of irrelevance, but they have, in general, always had a pretty decent record in the transfer market (and all clubs have their terrible signings) and they have certainly had an Academy system that works for them. Would that ours could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
