The Reverend Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 Nah, never go back. Aint got the legs anymore - yes hes a goalkepper blah blah blah, but you know what i mean. Only as back up and for the money he would be after, no thanks.
davieG Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 I thought he was over rated, mogadon man always look half asleep to me. Didn't command his area and wasn't that hot on crosses. I can't believe there isn't better and cheaper as a back up as I certainly wouldn't have him as my number one, we need a goalie that's going to be unmoveable for at least 3 years.
Ben Posted 29 May 2007 Author Posted 29 May 2007 Richard Wright was born in Ipswich and was also the first club he played for but although it would be nice for him to go back to his hometown and play for his old club, I think the how football is now Milans £££ would be able to tempt him to the Walkers.
Simi Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 Would rather have Carlo Nash on a free. I'm with you there. Walker is a decent keeper still I think, just a little to confident at times.
Father Ted Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 He had to go really to be fair. His wages must have been too large for us to cope with... As for him coming back, we could do better now surely? Well Rab D was probably on £10,000 a week and the odds of Walker having something there and there abouts is very likely, and so we have to say, who's/was better Rab or Ian Walker?

Walker obviously. The problem was nobody wanted to take Rab of us and it would of cost to much to release him on such a big contract.

I doubt Rab is on more than £5k/week. Walker was on £25K/week or there abouts.
Manwell Pablo Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 I doubt Rab is on more than £5k/week. Walker was on £25K/week or there abouts. Rab is apparently on quite a packet for a Championship player. And the bloke wasn't dodgy on crosses, he was none existent, I reckon someone kept super glueing him to his line for a laugh.
Eastern Fox Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 I don't think we need him, Logan and Henderson are decent enough for this level. Plus he'll practically be 36 when the season starts, it would be a waste of money for someone that has hardly played first team football for a year.
C-man Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 My mate lives on Banks Road (Next to the training ground) and he said he saw a car with registration 'W4LKER 1' - all I'm saying is it is a coincidence. Originally i told him bullshit but seeing as it was in the magazine, maybe he wasn't lying.
lookwhaticando Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 He was decent enough - a few years ago, when he played as regularly as he could. He's now several years older - and without much by the way of match practice in the recent past. I can think of much better things to spend that kind of money on - some midfielders perhaps. Besides, if we insist on bringing in a new keeper, he should be a new first choice keeper - I don't think Walker really fits the bill any more.
Cheese Me Posted 29 May 2007 Posted 29 May 2007 Ian Walker - if still fit then yes please!!! I think one or two people in here are forgetting how class he was that last season in the premiership - he was being talked about for an England recall FFS, hence why Bolton signed him. He's not even that old for a keeper and I'd take a fit Walker over Richard Wright any day of the week.
