Hey the longer no-one goes for Wright the happier I'll be. That said NUFC have declared they are not interested, Chelsea have bought a young Italian keeper and saying they aren't interested, manure aren't for obvious reasons, I don't think pool are either.

That leaves Arsenal which p!sses me off as I'm sure they will go for the lad. They're just going to waite untill Ipswich have to sell at a lower price or risk losing him outright.

Personally I'd do a Given plus 2 million quid swap for the lad.

Has NUFC ruled themselves our? If I was Bobby I'd do a Tre with Given.

I have a feeling that Bobby will keep both Shay and Harper. I don't know why he hasn't gone for Wright. How much are Ipswich asking?

5 whacking great million for someone who hasn't played in the top flight and ballsed up against Malta.

1 Cap does not make him the international player that Ipswich are touting him as.

The lad's a better all-round keeper than Given, and I'd definitely go with Tre's suggestion - it would make sound business sense long- term.
If BR isn't interested I can only assume he's either got no money left, or he's trying to bring in another player(s) in what he considers a higher priority position and needs all the available wedge.

Fans liaison chief Rogan Taylor predicted earlier in the week that ticket income would top #20m at St James Park and Robson has already clawed back an extra #3.5m from the sale of Alessandro Pistone to Everton.

I'd rather we don't spend as much as 20 million. We'll be labelled a set of expensive flops!
