Town Confirm Walters Return

Thursday, 30th Aug 2018 17:05 Town have confirmed the re-signing of former skipper Jon Walters on loan from Burnley. Yesterday, TWTD was first to reveal that the Blues were closing in on the addition of the Republic of Ireland international. The 34-year-old, who was previously at Portman Road between January 2007 and August 2010, will be with Town until January. Walters, who will wear the number 39 shirt, initially joined the Blues from Chester City and made 132 starts and 14 sub appearances, scoring 31 goals before moving on to Stoke for £2.75 million after falling out with then-manager Roy Keane. After a successful seven-year spell with the Potters, Walters moved on to Burnley for £3 million a year ago but the Birkenhead-born frontman has made only two starts - one in the Carabao Cup and one in the Europa League - and four sub appearances for the Clarets. Walters is likely to go straight into the squad for Sunday's home derby against Norwich City. The forward has previously been on the winning side in an East Anglian derby, the 2-1 home win in April 2008 but missed the 3-2 victory a year later, the last time the Blues beat their greatest rivals.

I love Jon walters and am happy he’s back but what does it say about our transfer business that we are getting a 35 (next month) striker in on emergency loan. Jackson, Harrison and Roberts not up to it.

Oh well, let’s beat the Norwich! -9

Best news all day. Hell of a player. A real leader and good all round fella to have in the dressing room. Welcome back, Johnny Walters! 19

Good news. I wouldn’t expect him to be staring yet though, he surely isn’t match fit. 0

Welcome back Jon, we now have someone with Premiership experience, that comes back a better all round player than when he left. This guy as always been good fitnesswise so I think this is an excellent acquisition shame we cannot afford a permanent deal. Years ago we signed Paul Goddard and he helped develop our younger forwards (Chris Kiwomya), no reason he cant do the same for our new signings. After all he came from the lower leagues with Chester so will probably help them step up. Now to score the winner against Norwich!!!!!! 7
