Town are reported to have held talks with Nottingham Forest keeper Lee Camp regarding a move to Portman Road. The 28-year-old, who has been made available by the Midlands club, has been linked with the Blues since the middle of last week.

The Northern Ireland international, who has failed to agree new terms at the City Ground with his current deal up at the end of the season, is believed to be interesting a number of other clubs — Hull City and Reading have also been linked — and is said to want to hear what might be offered by the various interested parties before making a decision on where to go.

Town — who have also been linked with Sunderland’s Keiren Westwood and Blackpool’s Matt Gilks — look to be in the market for another keeper with loanee Stephen Henderson having returned to West Ham.

Henderson, who has an ankle injury which is likely to keep him out of action for two weeks, is keen to return to Portman Road and manager Mick McCarthy is also interested in bringing him back, although the Blues boss has concerns about the 24-hour recall clause the Hammers insist on including in any deal.

Meanwhile, former Blues reserves keeper Ian McLoughlin has joined Walsall on a month's loan from the MK Dons and made his debut against Preston at the weekend. Preston have signed former Chelsea keeper Rhys Taylor, who was on trial with Town earlier in the season.

Dr_Sheldon_Cooper added 08:49 - Jan 15 This little snippet comes at the end of an article in our local paper. It sums up the Camp situation fairly well. "It is fair to say Camp, since he was denied the chance to move to Swansea 18 months ago, has not been the influential figure he once was. He has still been an important player for Forest. But the fist-pumping heroics he had produced during the two seasons when Forest finished in the top six have not been evident for some time. But even as he prepares to leave Nottingham under a slight cloud, is Camp really guilty of anything more than something dozens of other players will do in the coming months? All Camp is guilty of is playing the system. And, as long as Forest are willing to do the same in the future, it does not have to be an issue." http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/story-17861543-detail/story.html Camp may be mercenary in his approach but then that's typical of the sport these days. If he signs for you I'd expect him to perform well - with none of the sloppiness that has been evident for the last year or so, at least until the last year of his contract any way. Hope McGoldrick works out well for you, the lad never put in a bad shift for us but I don't think he was ever used correctly or give a decent run (hence his nickname McGoaldrought).
