BenS1991 7 Posted December 29, 2022 As ipswich fans I feel we throw out names like Emil just to make us feel better yet we know it will someone useless like worral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted December 30, 2022 If we did manage to pull off the Emil signing or another 8 pointer, we’d have 4.27 left. Would anyone take Heeps back on 4.18? Unless we could find another 4 pointer from abroad with good potential, I think I’d gamble on Heeps rather than Mountain or Hume personally. He would also keep Rew at reserve whilst the other two would push Rew in to the 1-5.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No thanks, heeps was far worse than Hume in both leagues last year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 31, 2022 If we paying out for Doyle and Emil,, might as well go the whole hog and get another decent young euro rider,, and make sure we put a good team out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, the Golf Society will be pleased 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I know politics and sport should be kept separate but they aren't. Even though Emil gets to ride through the backdoor on a Polish licence, personally every Russian sportsman should condemn what's going on in Ukraine to compete anywhere. He may have done this already, be so pleased if he has and welcome him, but if not I'd be looking elsewhere. Edited December 31, 2022 by gazzac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m with Baldyman I’d prefer we sought out another Rew and took a chance on another new 4 pointer, but if the choice is Mountain Hume or Heeps I’d reluctantly go for Heeps.

I think you should get Hume back, improving rider who in my opinion could put a point on his average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All very laudable but such a public denouncment would no doubt put the lives of family still in Russia at risk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just get Emil and Artem assessed at 6 and have them both instead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
