Town Confirm Matusiwa Signing - Ipswich Town News | TWTD.co.uk https://share.google/6fdkn5a8DEjbFLwlh



Oh, yes. NOW we're talking.

I can’t say I know much about him Liz but I guess it’s defensively where we most need strengthening. In that respect then I guess he fits the bill.

He's also hit a fantastic long ball pass across the park. Does it a lot and it appears to be very accurate from the clips I've seen.

Found this video. He looks pretty solid to me in this...

[ITFC2024]

From that video clip, I can see he has great vision and passes the ball quickly. He also looks physical and doesn’t get pushed off the ball.

The music on that gave me concussion

One thing is for sure with those Two signings we seem to have definitely added a fair bit of strength and steel to the team, kipre is a proper unit and thus Matusiwa guy also looks very strong. Ashton wasn't joking when he said about looking for a different type of player, our defence was bullied all too often and looked pretty lightweight so I'm happy with the change there.

Interesting shortish watch guys...

Apparently he has a £35m relegation release clause in his contract. Agent knew what he was doing getting that written into his contract did he….

What for Johnson, you’re having a laugh Liz

Oh, yes. NOW we're talking.

Definitely a much more inspiring signing than Kipre - although a defensive midfielder he moves the ball quickly and has excellent vision and passing.

Translates

Marcel Ruíz could fulfil his European dream

Ipswich Town has sent a formal offer for Marcel Ruiz of 10MDD to Toluca

Borussia Mönchengladbach and Nice have asked about Marcel Ruíz (24) however the only one who has sent an offer is the English club

Toluca analyses the offer and will give an answer this week in order to speed up the movement



Im quite excited even though I have no idea about him!

[hallamblue]

Morsy not travelled to Austria, I'm hearing ....

[shabba]

Yeah weird one, I’d keep him for his leadership qualities.

Also surely Derby wouldn’t offer what he is on here, even if they offered two year deal. Surely it’s worth him staying here - he is settled etc, or going for a big salary to the UAE if that was an option.

IMO him and the new Dutch guy are one position and then cam and another new cm are the other, so Taylor is the surplus one

[hallamblue]

I rrally dont rate Taylor. He's never really stepped up has he. Ole Varry Fry did a number on us again!

[ITFC2024]

I think Taylor in a different role could be useful in the Championship. Against lesser defences, he may be get a few long shots on goal. That goal he scored against Wolves was superb. I wouldn’t lose sleep if he leaves though.

Morsy is a tough one. If he’d be willing to play a different role as a sub, I think he would be useful later on in games, and his leadership would still benefit the squad.

I do think it’s maybe time to cash in on Omari while we can. He may excel at a PL club, but I’m not sure he will with us.

Marcel Ruiz is 24 and he’s beginning to get noticed. Under KM’s tutelage Ruiz could be a bargain at 10mil.

[Blue Wilf]

I rrally dont rate Taylor. He's never really stepped up has he. Ole Varry Fry did a number on us again!

Is Ole Varry Fry? Is that Barry's Spanish cousin, Hallam?

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.

Good if true, it kinda puts it back in our control and doesn't force our hand.

[shabba]

Gosh yes!!

Even if he wanted to go surely we can say we'd want a decent profit on him, i.e 35m+. No point us spending 20m+ and selling for less than 30.

He would BEAST the championship. I just worry as Asthon did say '1 or 2 sales to fund transfers' - and we''ve sold only delap for money, and spent a little bit already too. I thoght delap would be the balancing of the books, and another player would go to fund other transfers.

Morsy off to Kuwait

An integral part of our journey. Pure legend of ITFC !

Captain fantastic !

How does a relegation contract clause expire? Sorry dont understand this. In any case Town will demand that £35m as a fee if any club still wants Omari and since he's on a 4yr contract id say he's pretty much likely to stay now. I'm very happy if this is the case....
