Town are now expected to complete the signings of Arsenal’s Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Fulham’s David Stockdale on Tuesday. We understand the deal to make striker or midfielder Emmanuel-Thomas a permanent addition is done but that there has been a minor hold-up regarding the paperwork relating to the season-long loan of keeper Stockdale.

Both players were at Portman Road today for talks and for Emmanuel-Thomas to undergo a medical after Town and the Gunners agreed a fee which TWTD now understands to be an initial £1.5 million rising to £2 million with additional clauses.

Terms on Stockdale's loan were agreed with Fulham late last week with the Premier League side insisting on a recall clause in case first choice Mark Schwarzer suffers an injury.

The Blues expect to be able to formally announce the completion of the deals on Tuesday in time for the duo to play in the friendly at Colchester United (KO 7.45pm).

Fans travelling to Colchester without tickets should note they need to buy one at the Ticket Office at the Weston Homes Community Stadium before they can enter via the turnstiles. A Blues following of more than 1,200 is expected to travel to the north Essex club.

BlueBlood74 added 23:32 - Jul 25 Would be two excellent signings. Just watched JET on YouTube, very elusive and an excellent left foot. Here's hoping all goes well tomorrow.

GTRKing added 23:33 - Jul 25 So far Strikers Midfield Except for 1 More is worthy of competing for promotion but defense is midtable or lower except Cresswel & Ingimsrson who is injured. Please get defense sorted befor start of season & Bullard befor end of transfer window thanks

TooleyBlue added 23:59 - Jul 25 Great signing - JET along with Carson will terrify defenders. Still worried about the defence though. We really don't want Carlos to be the long term answer at RB.

TheOne added 23:59 - Jul 25 I think these signings are two of the poorest we've ever had to be honest with all of you. It just shows the lack of ambition and poor management from Mr Jewell and I think the sooner we get rid of the guy the better!

Coastalblue added 00:04 - Jul 26 3/10 for trolling. JET looks a decent size, something we could definately do with at the moment, hopefully a season to settle into first team football then he could be a real quality signing.

bobble added 00:18 - Jul 26 this et bloke could be the business if he just plays the same as his highlights tapes all the time

Tractamatt added 01:43 - Jul 26 Tractordamage i agree with what you say about people seeking scandal but my point was more to those having a dig at clegg,and co or arsenal or fulham the deals to all intense and purposes are done they are both ipswich players they just cant be OFFICIALLY announced as ours because of the paperwork wich i dont think would be to do with any club involved as no one gets payed or played till its gone through the right channels at the F.A and as for reading ...play offs next season.

Dissboyitfc added 07:58 - Jul 26 Shall we start an award for the most pathetic post of the month, the prize being a season long ban from this site? i nominate ' THEONE" for me would be a clear winner, for that last post.... IDIOTIC REMARKS. just watched the video posted by forevertractorboy, and what a bargain. conner was a class act too, but i wonder if we could make a video lasting 3 plus mins of pure class from conner??? probably not. Thanks for posting that tractorboy...... COYB
