Delaney Ipswich "Switch"

[ScottJones]

Heard a couple of months ago that we were swopping Delaney for an Ipswich left back - straight swop. Stories today that Keane wants to sign Delaney.

If the rumours I heard about a straight swop a true...do Ipswich have any decent left-backs??? I dont know much about them? I know they have harding who was on loan to reading???

[Nodge70]

Dan Harding?

[ScottJones]

Dan Harding?

Yeah thats the only one I know - may be a battle between us and reading to sign him. I was told it was a like for like deal no £s involved? At the time I was more interested in what was happening with PS so didnt really follow it up.

Is he any good? More to the point is he better than Delaney

[Neil]

Harding has been released

[ScottJones]

AH ok. Maybe not him then? Although considering 2 months (ish) ago I was told about this it makes some sense what with Keane now targeting Delaney. Who did Ipswich have in hardings spot last year?

[qblockpete]

Borrowdale anyone?

[Cookiemonster17]

Not being harsh but i hope Delaney goes, get a bit of cash for him and replace him with the likes of Tommy Spurr.

[stanistheman]

Sorry, but if Keane rates Delaney higher than his current left back, do we really want him?

If Delaney is to go, I would rather sign someone better, than an Ipswich reject.

I think its the irish connection.
My thinking is let Keane have him because I think Keane on this occasion is making a very big mistake.

Agree.

Albeit after seeing the interview Delaney did on the fans forum he went up 200% in my estimation as a bloke.

If Keane wants Delaney it shows he still doesn't have a clue in the transfer market.

Erm, we bought him, what does that say about whoever did the deal for us?

Ipswich are being linked with a raid on QPR for left-back Damien Delaney who would cost around £500,000.

Delaney is down the pecking order at Loftus Road but Town's need for a left-sided defender makes him an option as new boss Roy Keane looks to bolster his squad.

Ben Thatcher is currently Keane's only option at left-back and Rangers would probably do business if they are offered close to their original outlay of £600,000 when they signed him from Hull in Janaury 2008.
