Transfer News and Gossip Dave Martin set to join Ipswich as goalkeeping coach

[gatecrasher]

As good as a number 2 at this level or dare say it the level above- premier league experience, still able to play and has knowledge that we can only dream of.

Goes with my best wishes, come to us when we had the begging bowl out and seems to have been a great signing all round in his time here..

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Big loss. Either someone similar transitioning into coaching and a no 2 when needed or a youngster coming though.

Any more on the GK production line in the youths?

 

[Pak Power]

The wrong Martin has left the building

I think DM was largely responsible for Colin's improvement last season imho

The production line has been dissembled.

The u23s have gone, the Academy has gone, the u16s through to u8s are gone.

If we need a youngster now we need to look to John Still’s scouting network.

 

[Tinks]

who can blame him accepting this offer and will be a loss for us and for young Colin but I wish him the very best of luck in his new venture and hope he does well at Ipswich

How long before Ipswich send a scout for Collin?

Somehow, I think Ipswich could be sending more than a scout. The fact that Colin turned up for pre-season training having lost a lot of weight and looking tremendously fit indicates we will probably be lucky to keep our no. 1 goalkeeper for very long. I would imagine Ipswich are already very aware of Colin's outstanding potential to mature into a top-flight goalkeeper.

Collin is contracted to us until 2026, so if he does go, it won't be for nothing.

Collin. With two L's please. We're going to give him the respect he deserves here.

They already have previously.

I apologise for my mistake. I won't repeat it. Two L's it is.
