Matt Holland

Ipswich Town have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for their skipper Matt Holland.

What's your reaction? Do you think he should go?

How skint are we? I mean £6 million for Titus and we still have to sell the player who runs the midfield for us. It seems the chairman is in a real state of panic..wake up David, if you want Ipswich back in the premier we need Matt.

Andy, Edinburgh

The Board at Ipswich town have taken leave of there senses - sell the best you have to then wonder why you don't do well!

Jenny, Stowmarket

He's been a great servant of the club - good luck to him. Who's next?

Beverley, Suffolk
If Ipswich continue to sell players for half their real value I expect many more sales will be needed to balance the books. Then Mr Sheepshanks will have his cast iron excuse when they fail to win promotion. As they demonstrated last season he and the board lack any real ambition and would prefer to be big fishes in a small pond rather than take risks to achieve.

John, Needham Market

We sold Mauricio Taricco for peanuts so hearing the news Matt Holland is leaving for another pack of KP doesn't surprise me. It makes no sense that we were told that the new stands wouldn't mean selling players - a year on and we have sold Bramble, tried to sell Hermann and now are willing to sell Matt Holland for a small amount as well as paying Bournemouth 25% of the fee. Great business.

Sid, Ipswich

I'm amazed they'd settle for as little as £4 million. Mind you with Holland out it'll make Norwich's job all the more easy on September the 15th!

Arthur, Diss
A diabolical decision by the board. It shows a total lack of ambition. I hope Matt Holland takes the same stance as Herman Hriedersson and refuses to go.

Ray, Ipswich
Has anyone else heard the rumour Matt's signed for Ireland?

Norman, Rendlesham
I'm not exactly surprised, because he performed so well in the World Cup for Ireland, that there was bound to be some offers for him.

Colin, Leiston
