szkocjasid Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 I don't know where the talk of Sayfutdinov or Laguta riding in Britain is coming from, but I thought it was clear they can race in Poland as they have Polish passports, but cannot ride in the GPs or in any other countries GB / SWE etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wouldn’t shock me if Emil did ride for Ipswich from what I’m hearing. And the long wait for the next signing speaks volumes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team would've been completed way before Christmas if the Emil rumours weren't true imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 The long wait surely signifies the club are trying to get a left signing sorted, wouldn’t be this hard to get worrall and batch signed and announced. Could still end up being them if it doesn’t come off of course but the wait suggests Chris is trying for Emil as rumoured or someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears impossible now and, having no team on the Continent either, he might decide to stay at home in 2023.

BenS1991 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 As ipswich fans I feel we throw out names like Emil just to make us feel better yet we know it will someone useless like worral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 If we did manage to pull off the Emil signing or another 8 pointer, we’d have 4.27 left. Would anyone take Heeps back on 4.18? Unless we could find another 4 pointer from abroad with good potential, I think I’d gamble on Heeps rather than Mountain or Hume personally. He would also keep Rew at reserve whilst the other two would push Rew in to the 1-5.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, heeps was far worse than Hume in both leagues last year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 If we paying out for Doyle and Emil,, might as well go the whole hog and get another decent young euro rider,, and make sure we put a good team out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the Golf Society will be pleased 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I know politics and sport should be kept separate but they aren't. Even though Emil gets to ride through the backdoor on a Polish licence, personally every Russian sportsman should condemn what's going on in Ukraine to compete anywhere. He may have done this already, be so pleased if he has and welcome him, but if not I'd be looking elsewhere.

I’m with Baldyman I’d prefer we sought out another Rew and took a chance on another new 4 pointer, but if the choice is Mountain Hume or Heeps I’d reluctantly go for Heeps.

I think you should get Hume back, improving rider who in my opinion could put a point on his average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
