We've waited all this time only for TP to sign a player that nobody seems to want!

Keano seems to rate him then. I don't know much about him so will be looking forward to seeing him. Does he have any pace? How do his freekicks/crosses compare to Lawrence's?

How on earth can Walters be £3m if Lawrence is £2m?

Seems a bit pointless, I must agree.
He's certainly never shone in the C'ship like Lawrence did in 07-08, and had his best season at Ipswich seasons ago.
And there's little to suggest he can make more of a fist of it in the Premier than Liam has
And all this for £1m more than we'd get from Celtic - for what will hopefully be a back-up player?
Can't see much sense in it.

I'd convinced myself it was going to be Whittingham, and was feeling pretty good. SHIT!

Keane rates him that much that he's selling him!  He's like Lawrence but a load worse! More like Soares if You look at it that way! ;D |

Whilst I am not bouncing off the walls at this signing, far from it actually, I shall reserve judgement on him (if he signs) until he plays.
I don't see Pulis using him in his starting line up mind.

If he turned out to be LL (work ethic and delivery), but with pace and can beat his man, i'd welcome it. I'll reserve judgement though as I can't say i've ever paid him any attention when i've seen Ipswich play. |

Oh joy.
Dave was right there will be a few big surprises this window (although there was no mention of positive or negative)

Jon Walters? Where's Pav, Cole, Jenas, Pennant et al? It's like last season all over again - being slapped down from a Paul Scholes shaped horse, right into the saddle of a Whitehead shaped donkey!  |

Tone himself has said we need to strengthen the squad to survive.
I don't see any actions to back his statements up.
In the end, is probably horseshit.

It's not that, that bothers me. He's not better than what we have and we will be replacing a better player for more money! ??? What's the point? |

Lenny's not going to stay here to be the understudy to our new right mid, if Walters is (as DV has suggested), then I haven't got a problem with that.
I'd much rather have him as cover rather than seeing Deano or Rory stuck out there when we've got a problem.
However if he's not coming as cover, then I'm not going to be very impressed.

Guys, the player has not yet signed and lets face it not a single one of you have seen all his games for Ipswich. Also how many players has TP got in the past that were nobody's or a player who barely kicked a ball. If he signs give him a bloody chance, how many times has tony proved us wrong.
On another note, those itching for any old signing cuz your bored, well you got it!
Keep the faith!

Two years ago, I'd have been quite happy as a squad filler. Now, though, it just seems a bit of a strange one. We've got three or four of his type here already (Tonge, Soares, Pugh etc) so, unless some of these are going to leave, it seems a bit pointless.
