Rumours have started to circulate over the last week that Aaron Cresswell will be leaving Ipswich for Aston Villa. The Villains were at first reported to have made a bid of £3.5 million for the young left back but Paul Jewell has revealed that they only made an enquiry, with no formal bid made. Although [...]

  Emile Heskey has become a bit of a laughing stock over the last few years and always seems to be the butt of every football joke. His goal scoring record has never been great, 7 goals in 62 England appearances and 117 goals in 546 league games for five different clubs. At the ripe age [...]

Paul Jewell has recently announced that Carlos Edwards will remain as captain next season even though many thought that new signing Luke Chambers would take the armband. Edwards took over as captain last season when Grant Leadbitter was removed as captain and Jewell believes that Edwards is still the right man for the job. The Trinidad and Tabago [...]

Surely It is hard to see the new Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules being anything but a good thing for football as a whole. More and more clubs have over stretched themselves over the last 10 years, built up a huge amount of debt and as a result have crippled their future aspirations. The real [...]

This week it has been heavily rumoured that Luke Chambers is set for a move to Portman Road. The 26 year old Nottingham Forest player can play at either centre back or right back which are two positions that Ipswich desperately need someone for. Chambers started his career at Northampton, making his professional debut at [...]

  The words “missed and target” have become something all too familiar recently at Ipswich Town, but I’m not talking about the inconsistent shooting on the pitch but more the inability to secure transfer targets. A few weeks ago Paul Jewell’s number one summer target Joel Ward turned down a move to Portman Road and eventually [...]

The draw for the League Cup was held last week to decide every league club’s starting fixture. Ipswich haven’t ever had much luck in the competition and in recent years they have used the cup as a chance to give reserve players some game time. A lot of other sides have chosen to do the [...]

Reports this week have linked Ipswich Town with both Derby County Striker Steve Davies and West Ham striker Sam Baldock. Whilst Baldock has also been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, Davies has been attracting interest from Leeds and Bristol City after being transfer listed by Derby manager Nigel Clough. Both strikers will offer [...]

  Simon Clegg has been a controversial figure at Ipswich since joining the club as Chief Executive in April 2009. This week Clegg has said that he believes Ipswich are under achieving as a club and thought the team were going to finish higher last season. On the face of it this story is not anything [...]

Paul Jewell has made no secret of the fact that he is looking to sign a new goalkeeper for next season. Since then everyone has been left guessing as to who will actually be in between the sticks next season. Ipswich have struggled to maintain organisation and leadership at the back largely due to the [...]

After Paul Jewell’s capture of young right back Elliot Hewitt the Ipswich manager will now be looking to strengthen the centre of his defence. It is understood that Jewell’s number one transfer target was Joel Ward, but he has now moved to Crystal Palace, so Ipswich will be eyeing up any decent centre back they [...]

Ipswich Town have had a week of good news and bad news. The bad news is that Paul Jewell’s main transfer target Joel Ward turned down the chance to sign for Ipswich and chose to sign for Crystal Palace. However, the good news is that Ipswich have now made their first summer signing in Macclesfield [...]

Last week Tommy Smith became New Zealand’s youngest ever captain after leading the All Whites to a 2-2 draw against El Salvador and then captaining the side again in their 1-0 win over Honduras. The 22 year old central defender has had a lot of ups and downs since breaking into the first team through [...]

For many years now the number of Ipswich fans that turn up at Portman Road has been in a steady decline. Fans who have turned up to see the team play recently have had to witness dwindling attendances and a declining atmosphere at home games. Once the season gets to the later stages the only real excitement [...]

Reports this week have linked Ipswich with a couple big target men as Paul Jewell looks for more striking options ahead of next season. So far, Jewell has played formations only using one main striker which has often left Michael Chopra isolated upfront and struggling to make an impact. A big striker could possibly give [...]
