Ipswichfan Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys, Ipswich Town fan here. We have been linked with signing Vaclav Hladky with some reports stating he will be signing as soon as today. Just wondering what the catch is with him? He seems to have been highly rated when playing for St Mirren and linked with Rangers and also some other clubs in Europe at the time. Is there any reason why he ended up at Salford City in League 2? Good luck for next season Cheers Edited June 28, 2021 by Ipswichfan update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi mate, Brilliant goalie. One of the best we’ve had in years. It was tears and snotters for us when he was leaving, but luckily we managed to sign an equally good keeper in Jak Alnwick. I suspect the Salford City thing was purely down to pounds, shillings and pence. I imagine they would be able to pay him good money. Always suspected he’d end up somewhere decent sooner or later. If you sign him I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would've ended up at Rangers if they didn't have MacGregor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipswichfan Posted June 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Thanks for the reply. He certainly sounds promising, very refreshing to be linked with players that have been rated highly by their previous clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a great shot stopper and very comfortable with crosses, but I always thought his biggest attribute was his distribution. From hand or with his feet, the best I’ve seen at our place in many a year. If you can be bothered watching it, this was his finest hour.

Genuinely think he could play at the highest level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 We were shocked when he ended up at Salford. Believe they offered him big bucks. Vaclav is a great keeper who will become a cult hero. Can pass a ball better than most defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one they did was when they signed Hlacky and even up to the point if him signing for Salford his agent I'd say was trying to get him a higher team as they turned up very late and poor old Gary Neville was not far from pulling the deal. All said good luck to him, might end up playing higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was outstanding for St Mirren in his time here. Big changes at Portman Road, done well in getting Paul Cook, clearing out the squad and owners with ambition. Hopefully good times ahead.

djchapsticks Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 No catch. He's a genuinely tremendous goalkeeper and a club like Ipswich was the level of club I expected him at after he left us. Certainly far too good for the league he went to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly far too good for the league he went to.This.We won a watch with our replacement who is a quality keeper... But in nearly 50 years of supporting Saints I'd rate Vaclav as good as any keeper I've seen.Great shot stopper and as for distribution, better than most outfield players. He has vision and can launch attacks with one kick or throw.I have Canary leanings, I won't lie... but I like Ipswich, have been to a game at Portman Road, and will wish them well with Vaclav in the team. Great signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Best keeper ever at Saints and we've had a few good one. Great with his feet as well. Should be playing at a higher level than Salford with respect to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're being kept very much in the dark over transfer fees- The new owners are keeping their cards close to their chests to avoid revealing how much of the new pension fund they are spending! The general consensus however is that the fee was less than £300k as we have been heavily linked with a rejected £350k bid for the Dundee keeper Benjamin Siegrist. Always had a lot of time for St Mirren. Would love the clubs to be able to arrange a yearly match at alternating grounds. Best of luck for the season.

The Original 59er Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 What you have read here is a pretty good cross section of feelings for the guy. He came to our rescue several times over and his shot stopping was outstanding. I rate him along with England's current stopper in that department, especially at penalties. When he left he was complimentary about the team and you got the impression he was a good team player and liked by he team mates. So good luck with him, I wish him and ITFC all the best.
