    Jon Walters

    Keane just been on BBC Radio and said Ipswich have received a bid from a club other than Stoke (almost certainly Premiership as keane stated earlier in the week that one other Premiership club was also interested in Walters). Considering the original bid from Stoke is said to be 3 million that is some serious money for Walters). My guess is West Brom or Wigan. Will be good to have another Irish player almost certainly starting in the Premiership. And I have always felt Walter's could step up to mid level Premiership. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot..._1/8901724.stm Listen to keane interview at the end.

    He's a beast of a player. Big, strong, athletic. Nicks a few goals too.

    I didn't think he'd be showing up on premier league radars but I'd take great interest in seeing how he does/would do.

    4m and not Stoke or West Brom according to Keane. IT could be anyone now. 4m for a championship player is serious money. Incredible situation considering Trap has never given him a look in. And Keane wants shot.

    4 million...wow. Someone's obviously seen something they like.

    Apparently Keane thinks the guy has been tapped up and whipped the captain's armband off him when Walters told him he wanted to leave.

    According to Keane Walters went ballistic after he told him he was losing the captaincy. He says he'll never play for him again so long as he's manager.

    He's a pretty poor disciplinary record. As far as I remember he was sacked by Blackburn after being suspected of stealing from a teammate.

    Another premiership starter can only be a good thing. Hopefully he does well wherever he ends up.

    Ofjames, unless you have a link to some definite proof, that piece of gossip can only be regarded as malicious. You should remove it.

    It's all over the web Geysir - not exactly as Ofjames put it but substantially.

    I saw a quote from Keane somewhere that Walters had totally overreacted, so Keane responded by overreacting!

    No its true.......he got caught thieving stuff from teammates on a number of occasions that had been left in the changing room and was fired by the club as a result. It is not just malicious gossip unfortunately. I'm sure he's a reformed character though.

    Okay so, that is pretty definite though that article just mentions one occasion.
    Over eight years ago, we were preparing for the WC Finals then.

    I wonder if the other club is Blackburn? He would be right up Big Sam's street.

    hes not a player I have ever paid an awful lot of attention to but would I be right in my impression that he is similar enough to Daryl Murphy?
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    Big Sam would work his magic!

    Trying to narrow it down.....

    He's too old for Newcastle (they are only after players under 25 now according to the press).
    West Ham? Would Grant be aware of him?
    I don't think it's Bolton. They have Davies and plenty of wide players.
    Wolves could be another possibility. Mick would be pretty clued up on the Championship.

    I'd say it's Newcastle or Wigan.
    I pity the fool!.... But suggest ways that he might improve himself.

    Says the deal is completed here and
    It is expected that the former Ipswich skipper will start on the right wing against Tottenham on Saturday.

    excellent move for Walters. This guy has exceited me for years and im delighted that he is finally getting his chance in the Premiership.

    Maybe Lawrence to Celtic will be back on as a result?

    I'm glad he's going to Stoke. BBC gossip column was saying Strachan wanted him at Middlesbrough this morning.

    I was half-hoping Kenwynne Jones' injury would be a bit more serious. With Beattie leaving, Walters would have been able to slot straight in to the centre forward's position at Stoke.

    With Folan seemingly only turning up when he feels like it and Leon Best not figuring, I'd say Walters has every chance of becoming our number 3 forward if he impresses at Stoke. Hopefully they know he's actually eligible. Was he in the frame for the Forest game at Dalymount?

    He wasn't in the initial squad anyway: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...k=view&id=3627
    He definitely played in the B game against Scotland in 2007: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...k=view&id=2665
    Was substituted for David Bell in that game
