Bit underwhelming.

Vaclav Hladky has departed Ipswich Town after failing to reach an agreement over a new contract.

The Czech stopper was a key man for the Blues last season as they secured automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Negotiations over a new deal started in January, with the 33-year-old always insisting he wanted to extend his stay at Portman Road.

However, an agreement couldn't be reached and he now finds himself a free agent on the day that Kieran McKenna's men returned for the start of pre-season training.

Signed by Paul Cook from Salford City in the summer of 2021, Hladky was back-up to Christian Walton for his first two seasons at the club. A foot injury sustained by Walton late last summer opened the door though and he subsequently started all 46 Championship games.

You what? Who would you want. Hladky just played every minute for an Ipswich side who were automatically promoted from the championship. On a free transfer for 2/3 years as a first choice he’s definitely not underwhelming.

Hladky is a funny one - but the problem with being linked to Rodak, Iversen and Ryan is that the expectation levels get raised.

He's had a very good year, but spent the majority of his Ipswich contract as back-up in League One - he got into the team as Walton was injured at the start of the season and kept the shirt. All that being said, he's actually done pretty well (he was rated in Scotland and League Two TOTY while at Salford). 

He's a very viable, good option for us. I still really hope it's Ryan, personally.

Well of the 3 keepers mentioned, he's the most underwhelming by far. So, don't think it's that out there. He'll be 34 in November, and despite playing every game last season, only played 13 League One games in 2 seasons prior, and he was League 2 before that.

Why do so many people act like they are in the know. It's so boring. 

In defence of @SECornerRAM they broke injury news before a number of matches last season that hadn’t been mentioned anywhere else. Also mentioned the Icelandic midfielder Thordarson back at the start of June which was way before this weekend’s story by a Danish journalist. Has also got some bits wrong I think. But there’s at least some suggestion of them having a source at the club, or having a wire tap in an office, or compromising pictures of Matt Hamshaw or something leading to at least some sort of info leak.

Yeah but apart from that, what has he ever done?

I see your glass is half empty again.
