On 1/21/2023 at 5:32 PM, Call me wolfie said: It’s a little bit more than red tape though isn’t it, will take a minor miracle to allow him to ride here in my opinion.

On 1/22/2023 at 3:04 PM, Steve Irving said: Nothing deluded about it! You’re hoping it’s delusion because the ONLY set of fans that want Sayfutdinov here are Ipswich supporters. All this “I really hope he does come cos it’s great for our league but I just can’t see it” is complete b0llocks that most of us can see right through! Whether you or Tinywhatshisface from 6 finger land who continues to stick his fingers in his ears and go blah blah blah and pretend it’s all still rumour with no substance, the fact is that Louis is actively trying to get this deal done. Whether he’s ultimately successful is neither here nor there and won’t prove you or anyone else who maintains he’s “definitely not coming” right. Louis will know more than you on what this deal needs to get over the line, and the fact he’s still actively pursuing it tells you that he believes he can get it done. If it was black and white with little to no chance he would have moved on to someone else, that is currently NOT the case. On 1/22/2023 at 3:12 PM, Steve Irving said: He does. He knows every single detail, every single obstacle, and yet still believes he can get it done. Old Wolfie knows better though obviously! On 1/22/2023 at 3:22 PM, Panthers70 said: Yes, our government will never let him ride over based on their stance in other sports. Louis is deluded if he thinks any different On 1/22/2023 at 6:22 PM, Call me wolfie said: More like a brick wall I would say On 1/22/2023 at 6:40 PM, Call me wolfie said: Maybe there isn’t anyone else hence why he’s still desperately trying to get this one done. Good luck to him, he’ll need it. On 1/23/2023 at 5:41 PM, Arch Stanton said: They’re chasing hard after Emil Sayfutdinov. It’s not fake, it’s not rumour, they’re not leaking false information, they’re trying. May well be unsuccessful and if I was a betting man I’d probably lean on the side of that being the case, but it isn’t some elaborate ruse. On 1/23/2023 at 6:38 PM, Panthers70 said: "I believe in miracles" by Hot Chocolate is the song more applicable to some Ipswich fans. On 1/24/2023 at 5:19 PM, TINYS said: Could that be yet another rumour. Wowzers. The vaults can certainly be an unforgiving place LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeW436 612 Posted February 27, 2023 What do we think of the side then? I don’t think it’s a bad side but it’s frustrating because it feels like we are one rider short in the engine room spots of being a very good side, an improvement on last year however…on paper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I also think that NKI and NP will be better overall than Bomber and MPT. Richie should hopefully prosper with the experienced riders around him, he also seemed quick at Peterborough as an away rider so should only improve when riding the track regularly. Does anyone know if Rob Lyon is the team manager this year. Edited February 27, 2023 by Pitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purplepanthernotred 155 Posted February 27, 2023 My personal opinion is it’s an average side with a lot of question marks. We’ve a bang average second string, could of done with tungate I feel especially the way he rides the showground. Concerns regarding fitness of Nicki and the ever unlucky Niels who seems too be injured several times a season. Will Hans continue too slump massively or not? I think basso will be fine and will benefit from having nicki and Niels in the team, would expect at the least his average too remain the same if not increase. Jenkins and Ben Cook should chip in. Overall a very mixed bag from me, I think Hans and Worrall will let us down form wise and potentially Niels if the unfortunate injury curse strikes. If nothing else at least we can watch pedersen entertain with some near scrapes I’m sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
