This forum is DEAD wth!!!!
Well I'm gonna resurrect it, even if it means talking to myself! :mad:
Richard Naylor has resigned for Ipswich until 2009. He stresses he wants to end his career at Portman Road Naylor tied to Ipswich (http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=322014&cpid=10&CLID=40&lid=&title=Naylor+pens+new+deal&channel=championship)
Also, Ipswich have offered a contract to 24-year old Norwegian midfielder Vemund Brekke-Skard (try saying that twice).
How long has BamBam (Naylor) been at Portman Road. Sure has been a long time...especally with today's standards.
Sounds like BFJ has been looking at a number of players to take on loan lately...but for some reason the deals keep falling through. Sounds like other teams are sniffing BFJ desporation and jacking up the price.

pswich have concluded the signing of midfielder Gavin Williams.
The West Ham winger has agreed a one-month loan deal at Portman Road.
Williams moved to West Ham from Yeovil just 11 months ago, but he has failed to make the expected impact.
He, along with team-mate Carl Fletcher, has been linked with Ipswich for a number of weeks in a possible swap-deal with Town starlet Dean Bowditch.
Now Williams has sealed a deal with Town, which could result in a possible permanent deal.
"Gavin is a player we know all about," said Town boss Joe Royle.
"We scouted him when he was at Yeovil but we couldn't afford him, but we've been keeping an eye on him ever since.
"He is very pacey and energetic and apart from playing in midfield he can also operate as a wide player on either flank. His pace is very attractive to us."
Meanwhile, Town are also hoping to seal international clearance for new Norwegian signing Vemund Brekke Skard.
The 24-year-old midfielder has signed an 18-month contract with Ipswich after arriving from amateur club Brumunddal.
Skard was training to be a teacher in his homeland, although Brumunddal insist he was professional.
Town, though, are hoping that Skard will be available to them before the January transfer window opens.
"If we can tweak the regulations in the meantime, we would hope to have Vemund available before January 1," added Royle.
"When I say tweak I mean find a legal loophole - and we're looking.
"He's a ball-winning midfield player who will bring something different to the squad. He can play as well and is a tremendously fit lad."
