My own personal opinion is Ambrose is a good player, didn't want to see us let him go. He is one of the few players we have who seems to create and find himself in goalscoring positions.
Play him behind a striker and he will score goals.
And we really could do with someone who can score goals
[cite]Posted By: LargeAddick[/cite]so what money was in the kitty has now shrunk by 250k. And we have an unhappy player on our hands who is willing to sit out the rest of his contract.
Well he's got to be looking to impress someone, even if it is his next club?

What are you on about?
Ambrose loves the club and will do everything he can to help us avoid relegation before he leaves in the summer.

My thoughts exactly, if he is looking for a move now is the time to put himself in the shop window as a potential saviour from relegation, he has always had the class IMO, but he needs to reproduce regularly.

He does care, whoever say he doesn't care is a blithering buffoon. Its the fans abuse when he was playing awful that ruined him.
He went in public and said he had not felt so down in he's life.
Agreed with Southendaddick - what he has done so far this season has been shocking - he'll struggle to be in employment next year based on how he's playing currently ...
although ambrose has flattered to deceive this season (though only started 6 games according to o/s), he has proved that he can more than hold his own at this level.
imho we will have a better chance of survival with him rather than without him.
On the whole I see this as being positive. Ambrose is a talented player whose record hasn't matched his ability. From here he has two choices - being effectively rejected by Ipswich means he has something to prove and he has a new contract to play for/or a new team to impress.
At the very least it makes our squad stronger on paper than it was before he returned and we desperately need players of his quality.
these people are paid large sums of money to play football, thats all thats asked of them, at the very least show some serious committment for 90 minutes and you won't get grief..
We've been playing rigid 442 so can't see that changing with Parky still here. Sam has improved of late on the right and Ambrose has consistently underwhelmed when on the left.
I'm not a great fan of his to be honest...however if there are no takers by the end of the window then he's still going to be part of our set up....as such, about all one can say is(should that be the case) roll up your sleeves young man...you were an established Premiership player just a short while back...act like it!!
[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]Tell him we are glad he is here as he is a quality player. Put him straight in team against Norwich. Then its down to him.
Agreed - hopefully his Ipswich "homecoming" has been a massive jolt and he can knuckle down and show his undoubted class.
I'm sure after this rejection his heart won't be in it for us anyway. I suspect he will be offloaded as quickly as is possible. Despite his much rumoured talent I feel this would be best. Colchester United anyone?
There must be something 'massively' wrong with Darren Ambrose....that possible permanent move to Ipswich was perfect for him...you'd have thought he'd have tried his heart out wouldn't you.
Any news from any Tractor Boys re his failure and their opinion of him nowadays?
He was something of a hero there in days past wasn't he!

According to a Barcodes supporting friend of mine, he didn't make it at Newcastle because he didn't show enough aggression/was thought to be a bit too lightweight for them, although that was when Souness was manager. He reminds me a bit of Mark Robson - undoubted talent but not strong enough physically to impose himself.

At least it disproves the theory that all our under-performing players do better somewhere else !

Hope he gets back to last seasons form

On form his goal scoring threat is invaluable to a team like us.
Off form he is shocking let's hope he can pick it ack up
