Peterborough Sports, driving distance from Ipswich.

Left sided central defender. Seems to have had a trial for a week so one to keep an eye on. Worth a punt

 

[Scotimp]

It makes no real mention of his position in that article (which has been astonishingly prevalent in L1 transfer announcements this month) but Ipswich see him as a left-sided centre back; he has just been recalled from Woking where he was playing in midfield.

Article from a loan he had at Chelmsford suggests left-sided defender or even midfielder.

...we were looking for another left-footed player that can play in defence and can play left-back, but in the case of Zak, he can also play in central midfield.

He’s a big, physical presence in there...

Looks to be a good prospect for the future.

Welcome Zak.

Come on you Imps!!!!!!©

Notice people questioning the "project player" bit already just because Kendall didn't work.

I give you Ben House.

Not all projects work, but sometimes we have to gamble on a player and hope it pays off!

 

[nlondonimp]

If only there was a guarantee that all projects would work...

The only negative I can see is that Ipswich clearly don't see him as a potential first team player for themselves, otherwise they would have sent him out on loan to an EFL club this time.

However our recruitment team obviously see something in him, so definitely will not pre-judge.

 

[nlondonimp]

he has been at national league level on loan this season, so will have to drop at least one level for the next loan.

Or go to Ireland?

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Or go to Ireland?

Doesn’t make sense to send him lower than National League, so Ireland would be my guess too. Drogs is possible but we've already sent them one centre half in Cann. Maybe another LOI side. Benn was at Bohemians so maybe an option?

Then again, Ipswich may see themselves as a potential PL side.....in which case I will be more than happy with their Championship potential cast offs

I'm not sure specifically how it works, but if we haven't registered him as a player then he can still fo anywhere I reckon? I don't know if that is possible though. Anyway, he can always fo back to Woking?

 

[gijsbert_bos]

We will have signed and registered him. It's not the 2 team rule that's stopping us loaning him to League 2 or NL. The issue is the loan window is shut for professional teams in England, which means anyone in National League or above.

Wasn't it termed a 3 club deal? If so maybe it was all put through but just not announced yet?

 

[Jules]

Just to make it clear:  there is a deal agreed but because of us waiting on confirmation from the FA on something the club are not in a position to announce that just yet.

Wonder if it’s Dundalk on loan. During the chat about this player and a 3 club involvement Jez accidentally said Dundalk. Did also say that was no hint but maybe that’s the loan club and international clearance etc?
