Why do Ipswich always do this.

I mean if we are gonna go after a player, lets tell
all the other teams about it.

Anyway the Cardiff fans dont seem to either know or
be excited about it as there is nothing on their rivals site
about it.

What are peoples opinions of Lee.

He has sat out most of the season on the bench??

Ojc · Post by **Ojc** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 7:41 am

What pleases me most is that we are actually spending money again.

i think he is the 'Target man' BFJ has been looking for since Kuqi left, now, that could be a good thing and a bad thing, the game at stoke where the ball was played on the deck and we looked very good is what we should be trying to do every week, but with a 'target man' in the team we can almost say goodbye to any balls being played on the deck

but if im honest i think he could be a good addition to the squad, although it might stop a couple of youngsters coming through

Well as long as our spending does not hinder us next season..

I don't understand this move!!!!! JR has always said he would not give details untill a deal is done and now they come up with this!!!!!!!

Is it true or is the info there to put others off the scent as to who he is really after!!!!!!??????

Life is soooooooo confusing LOL

In all fairness, our 1-0 win over Cardiff at home on day one looked in doubt when he came on as a sub with about 5-10 minutes to go. Like people have said ,a striker with height and a good target man.

amazing how people can judge a player even before he's signed for us

Parking will come good as soon as BFJ tells the team to keep the ball on the deck

How long does he need? Sorry but Parkin was a duff buy and giving the lad a 4 year contract was a even bigger mistake.

Proudlock looked more effective than Parkin has in the small amount of games he has played.

well considering hes been out ages injured id say he needs a lot longer, dont forget that the ball has just been lumped up to him, anyone who has seen him play before will tell u he can hold the ball up well when its played into his feet, and is a very good finisher given half a chance, also dont forget he has stepped up a league, and is still finding his feet, he cant be that bad when u look at some of the clubs he turned down to join us

squiz18 · Post by **squiz18** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 12:31 pm

exactly we had 2 chances against leeds and parkin scored both of them. Hoofing the ball to him was what we were doing to him and thats exactly what he said he didnt want. He broke his ankle jumping for high balls. I think when he comes back with the midfield we have now compared to august (when most people got pissed off with him) he will be banging them in.

Gotta agree with Squiz here!!!

Also I believe the whole side was playing pretty poorly when he was fit - just seemed he copped most of the flack as he was the only big money signing we had made for a while. He came here expected to fill the boots of both Kuqi and Bent - he does have 5 goals to his name so far and that was in a side which WEREN'T creating chances.

There was alot of interest in the lad and he is only 24 - I think the extra competition will help everyone and if we play football to suit his game I am sure we will see a much better player. In all honesty how can we judge him until that has happened!!

Least Alan Lee is under 30.............................

Could be good, could be a flop, but thats the team we are now. We just gotta take a chance, like with Kuqi......he wasnt exactly brilliant at sheff wed!

i personally dont rate the guy, seen him a few times, but ill wait too see what he delivers and give lee every chance to impress! still wish it was lupoli!!!

Ipswich manager Joe Royle is hoping to complete the signing of 27-year-old Cardiff City striker Alan Lee early next week.

Town are expecting to pay a transfer fee in the region of Ã‚Â£150,000 for the former Rotherham frontman.

Blues chairman David Sheepshanks is in talks with his Cardiff counterpart Sam Hamman, and Royle said: "Alan is a not shy of hard work and will give us height up front to compliment Nicky Forster and work with Sam Parkin.

"We talked about him in the summer, but money was unavailable at that time once we signed Sam. I first spotted Alan playing for Burnley."

Lee is one of the international strikers Royle has been talking about for a week or so. He has played for the Republic of Ireland.

But hopes of bringing in Southampton's Ricardo Fuller have ended with the Jamaican international staying with the Saints and hoping to gain a regular place

Can't get in the Cardff team, all the Cardiff fans I know reckon hes a donkey, having seen him I agree, another sh*t striker to add to the load we already have.

never have i known such a moaning old fart as u, if u have a comment at least make it slightly constuctive!!!

the guy hasnt even signed yet, never pulled on a town shirt!!!!

bluetj · Post by **bluetj** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 3:52 pm

I hope if he does sign, the fans give him a fair go. Just because it has not worked out for him at Cardiff does mean he will be a flop here. Some moves in football just don't work out for whatever reason - does not mean he is a bad player.

Rotherham fan I spoke described his as a "100% player" - we could certainly use one of them!

I would love to see someone with a physical presence (a bit like Naylor second half against Pompey). I am not suggesting we hoof it btw - just someone to give us some options, get on the end of a cross, hold the ball up and (please god!) maybe actually be able to stick it in the net.

firstly he hasn't signed yet and if he does we can't judge him before he has kicked a ball for us,after watching todays game its clear that we need a striker.

we have forster,whom i like,BUT.....he's never fit,parkin who looks out his depth in my opinion,haynes who still has alot to learn,but do like.

we aint got 5m to spend on anyone,so lets give the bloke a chance if he signs.

it aint like we are after heskey is it,lol
