Exodus

Reading v ITFC August 5th 2013


There is a lot of optimism around for Mick McCarthy's first full season in charge at Ipswich. 
How refreshing to see a starting line up with no loan signings in it, when was the last time that happened?
Big Mick's only spent £20,000 on transfer fees (Jack Doherty from Waterford) assembling his new squad. Ex loan players Daryl Murphy, David McGoldrick and Jay Tabb have now signed on a permanent basis, along with new additions Christophe Berra, Frédéric Vaseli, Paul Anderson, Cole Skuse and Dean Gerken. The only loanee in the squad is Ryan Tunncliffe from Man Utd.
JET, Michael Chopra (hooray!) and Lee Martin are the significant departures.


Fancy a bet?
