Why Are Ipswich Town Keeping Mum Over Hirst?


George Hirst was apparently spotted driving into Portman Road yesterday afternoon and according to some sources, a medical followed. So then, why all this secrecy?

It appears that during the closed season Town are keeping all its cards very close to its chest, but they must have been aided by the local media outlets if the above story holds true. The news about Hirst broke in an article this morning, which suggested that the deal was more or less done and dusted, and if he has since taken and passed a medical, then surely it is! Unless of course, further complications have arisen?

I suggest further complications because the deal to get Hirst back to Portman Road has already been very protracted. The Foxes wanted him to stay but Hirst wanted to leave and after much consultation, Leicester City decided there was not much point in keeping a player whose heart was no longer in it. That makes perfect sense to me.

Reliable sources have informed me that the deal is virtually done and dusted, but until we know he has put pen to paper there is still nervousness among us. It could just be a case of  Ipswich finding the perfect moment to hold a press conference, and this could be as early as tomorrow afternoon. I hope so anyway. All this suspense is killing me!
