I'd love him to stay, when he's fully fit he is one of the best midfielders in the division, just too injury prone.

Who will captain Ipswich next season?

[Budgiebasher]

Jason De Sloth, failing that then probably Fabian Wilnis if playing or Richard Naylor. All 3 should be out the door let alone captain

[Mighty T.A.L.]

Okey.

Naylor facing long absence

Ipswich defender Richard Naylor looks set to face three months on the sidelines after having an operation on his recurring foot injury.

Naylor missed three months at the end of last season because of the injury, but was thought to have recovered from the problem over the summer.

However, after feeling discomfort in pre-season training, a London specialist was called in for further investigation and it was decided the player would undergo surgery.

"Richard has had an operation to repair a cartilage tear in the first metatarsal," club physio Matt Byard told Ipswich's official website.

"The surgery was carried out in a London hospital and we are looking at a rehabilitation programme likely to last 12 weeks."

Meanwhile, the club has released trialist Arsene Menassou.

The 19-year-old right-back arrived from Le Havre last week, but did not do enough to secure a deal.

"Arsene did well in his time here but we will not be taking it any further," said chief scout Steve McCall.

Fellow trialist Cesar Navas has also left the club to get treatment in Spain for a broken toe.

The Malaga defender, who was on loan at Gimnastic last season, sustained the injury while playing for Ipswich against Crawley last week.

You need something other than fresh air between your ears to warrant inspiration.

Nothing about you inspires me or this forum to be honest.

Striker signs Ipswich deal

Alan Lee has quashed speculation about his future by signing a new contract with Ipswich Town.

The striker was wanted by Championship rivals Hull City, who have already had two bids turned down this summer.

Hull retained an interest in the Republic of Ireland international, but will now have to look elsewhere for a new front man.

Lee, who had 12 months remaining on his previous deal, has committed himself to Ipswich until 2009.

Delighted

An option for a further year is also included and Portman Road chief Jim Magilton is delighted with Lee's decision.

"We have been talking with Alan about a new contract over the last few weeks and I'm delighted that everything has now been agreed," Magilton told the club's official website.

"There has been speculation about his future lately, but Alan was our top scorer last season and is a valuable member of our first-team squad.

"We have always made it clear that we wanted to keep him here at Portman Road."

1st time i've seen Town this pre-season, we looked brilliant, fair enough Panathinikos played like a pub team, excellent to see Pablo get 2 goals, he showed the massive 8k crowd what he can do! Although not gonna get carried away as we will have a lot tougher games than that this season.

How did the defence perform any light at the end of the tunnel?
