Bournemouth have just signed a striker from Getafe.
Ipswich? see rumour threadOriginally Posted by alan_corneli
Suppose there's always hope🤞
Yeah, forgot about Ipswich... but if it's just a PR stunt.
Getafe = get Taffy. It's a sign, I tell you.
Ipswich apparently
It was all done months ago. They’re just waiting until the end of the window to announce it. For dramatic tension and Sky hype. I thought everyone knew that. Duh!
The Moore to Ipswich twist is a nice move though. A piece of PR genius!
careful, you'll upset someone
I know.
Looks like another deal ( this time for Ebou Adam’s) was in the pipeline months ago , that’s how many transaction's work. The complexity of most transfers, the fact that they have to have medical’s , find accommodation etc etc takes time.I know.
"I’ve known (of the interest) for a good couple of months. I was aware of it strongly before I travelled to the Africa Cup of Nations and after I’ve come back, I thought it was a good opportunity to play for a club in the position that they are now”
If you think most are last minute then you’re not thinking clearly.
Some transfers are explored long in advance.
Some.
That may even include agreements in principle around fees and personal terms - with the exporting club, the player and/or the player's agent. No tapping up of course - that would be wrong!
But deals are not done. They can be gazumped. One or other party can change their minds. The agreement in principle may be reliant on a lot of other dominoes falling. Form, fitness and a host of other factors can change the original assumptions and calculations. None of the deals can be signed off until the window opens.
Your original claim way back was that most deals are done in advance, put in a drawer and revealed at a time when they meet the PR needs of the club or the demands of Sky Sports News for deadline day headlines. This based on your understanding of one transfer to Burton Albion a few years back.
That is nonsense and why you are getting regular piss takes.
FWIW I think the majority of transfers this window have been 'last minute' - and are the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc choices of the receiving clubs who have seen deals for their preferred options fail. I'm sure Diedhiou was on the club's long list at the start of January - but he clearly wasn't at the top (or second place). Hopefully he turns out to be the best option.
Ipswich is just the M4 redirect, WG plans for traffic calming, genius really.
:-/
Mepham's request was blocked, while Brooks was okayed.
Not too disappointed with this to be honest. We won't go up, so a loan would be a bit of a redundant use of finances on his wages. January fees are generally inflated if we were going to buy him, and he's turning 32 in August so there is little to no realistic resale value.
If we can pick him up for peanuts in the summer, nice, but I don't think this is one to be particularly bothered by missing out on.
Deal agreed between #ITFC and #AFCB for Kieffer Moore. Loan until the end of the season with bonus payments if the Tractor Boys go up. Ipswich also covering 75 per cent of Moore's wages. Excellent signing for them IMO. https://t.co/AxQYEVXXlU

I’m not arsed boys
phew! this was my first concern after learning this news. Thanks for setting my mind at ease!
The journo is saying Ipswich have agreed a deal with Bournemouth. It doesn't necessarily mean Kieffer will want to go there.
They agreed a deal with Millwall in the summer as well and Kieffer turned it down.
Still think he could do a good job in this league for another 2 or 3 years, so hopefully we can get him in the summer.
Cancel that - Glen Williams saying he's going there.
I hope he has a shit season and rots on the bench
Can we have Ilic now please?
We'd have to ask Lille nicely
The Ipswich rumours were true clearly.
It was the speed limit wot clinched it!
