Definitely a much more inspiring signing than Kipre - although a defensive midfielder he moves the ball quickly and has excellent vision and passing.hallamblue wrote: ↑Sun Jul 13, 2025 8:47 pmTown Confirm Matusiwa Signing - Ipswich Town News | TWTD.co.uk https://share.google/6fdkn5a8DEjbFLwlh

Good if true, it kinda puts it back in our control and doesn't force our hand.Blues forward Omari Hutchinson’s £35 million relegation release clause is reportedly set to expire today.
Yesterday, Premier League Brentford were said to see Hutchinson as a potential replacement for Bryan Mbeumo should the Cameroon international move to Manchester United.
According to The Athletic, the Bees made an approach for Hutchinson yesterday but with a deal looking unlikely as it stands and the Town attacker one of a handful of players they see as possible alternatives to Mbeumo.
The West Londoners’ valuation is said to have fallen well short of the £35 million relegation release clause which is reportedly set to expire today.
Hutchinson, who has four years remaining on his Town contract, is currently away on holiday having been given additional time off following the England U21s’ successful European Championship campaign.
The former Chelsea man’s displays at the tournament did his reputation no harm with the Bees, Everton, West Ham, Fulham, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig among those linked during the competition, although with sources on Merseyside subsequently playing down the Toffees’ interest.
Town will want to keep hold of Hutchinson, who signed on a permanent basis from Chelsea last summer for a club record initial £20 million plus a further £2.5 million in top-ups.

Yes this rumour looks solid IMO. Morsy has been a rock for us and very much centre stage in our double promotion. He also did better than I expected last season but not really well enough for that role in a Prem side tbh. Wish him well in Kuwait (imagine the family will live in Dubai and he'll commute). Hope its a nice lucrative contract and I'm sure whichever side is getting him will get excellent value from him for another couple of years yet.Mach_Polish_Blue wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 10:32 amMorsy off to Kuwait
An integral part of our journey. Pure legend of ITFC !
Captain fantastic !
He definitely is a legend of the club, for 2 years he pretty much bossed every match and was integral to our back to back promotions. Last season was tough for everyone Morsy included and had he had better around him he'd have had more chance.Mach_Polish_Blue wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 10:32 amMorsy off to Kuwait

For me this would be another excellent addition although I'd be shocked if he came here what with talk in the past of Prem clubs being keen. Fingers crossedTWTD understands Town are showing strong interest in Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.
The 23-year-old has been on the Blues’ radar all summer but Town have now stepped up their interest and have made an approach to the Teessiders regarding the England U21 international.
Hackney had been expected to get a Premier League move this summer, however, Boro are yet to receive any serious interest in the one-time Scunthorpe United loanee from top-flight clubs.
The Blues are in the market for more central midfielders with loanees Jens Cajuste and Kalvin Phillips having moved on at the end of the season, Massimo Luongo having been released and skipper Sam Morsy in talks with Kuwait SC about a switch.
Redcar-born Hackney came through the youth system at Boro, his local club, having joined the club as an U10.
He was part of the England U21s squad which won the European Championships in Slovakia last month alongside Town forward Omari Hutchinson.
TWTD understands League One Luton Town are eyeing Blues striker Ali Al-Hamadi.
The Iraq international ended last season on loan at Stoke City and it would be little surprise if he moved on this summer, either on the same basis or permanently.
We understand the Hatters are considering a move for the 23-year-old with manager Matt Bloomfield having previously worked with him at Wycombe Wanderers.
If he were to leave Town, Al-Hamadi would presumably prefer a move to the Championship, however, Luton, a Premier League club only 14 months ago, look well set to stage a title challenge during 2025/26.
Town would only consider Al-Hamadi departing should they add to their striking ranks with George Hirst currently their only number nine following the £30 million departure of Liam Delap to Chelsea.
The Blues are likely to want three out-and-out strikers with Chelsea youngster Marc Guiu a target, although with the player believed to be hesitant regarding a move to the Championship.
US international Patrick Agyemang was also on Town’s radar but is closing in on an $8 million (£6 million) plus $2 million (£1.5 million) in add-ons switch to Derby County.
Al-Hamadi has made three starts and 24 sub appearances for the Blues, scoring five goals, since signing from AFC Wimbledon for around £1 million in January 2024, signing a deal which runs to the summer of 2028.
While at Stoke in the second half of last season, the Liverpool-raised frontman made 11 starts and four sub appearances, scoring twice.
My word this would be SOME signing if so!! Huge statement of intent IMO. Not going to hold my breath as I suspect prem clubs will be sniffing.Bluemike wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 1:25 pmFor me this would be another excellent addition although I'd be shocked if he came here what with talk in the past of Prem clubs being keen.

100% this Mach.... itll be sad to see him go but I think he'll get a great 2 yr deal out there. Also I wouldn't want him appearing at PR in a rivals colours ....Mach_Polish_Blue wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 10:32 amMorsy off to Kuwait
