Loan Signing Possible Before Deadline
Thursday, 28th Aug 2014 15:06

Boss Mick McCarthy says he could add a loan player to his squad before the transfer window closes on Monday at 11pm, although there will be no one new in the squad before the weekend trip to Derby.

“I don’t know,” he said when asked if there are likely to be any additions before the deadline. “Maybe there’ll be somebody in, it’ll probably be a loan if that’s the case.

“I’m just hoping there’s nobody out. If the phone rings it’s always about what people perceive as our best players, so I don’t want to lose anybody else.”

One of this morning’s tabloids claims Blues centre-half Tommy Smith is a target of new Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock, but McCarthy says he’s not been contacted about any of his players.

“No, not directly, not at all. There’s always talk all the time about everybody’s players but nobody’s rang me up and said ‘I want to do X’.”

He says there has been no movement regarding transfer-listed striker Frank Nouble, while he confirmed that Jack Collison and Darren Ambrose continue to train with the Blues and will play in Monday’s U21 game at Portman Road against Sheffield Wednesday (KO 7pm).

Can't see much truth in the Tommy Smith rumour Tbh!

In terms of bringing in loans, get Jonny Williams Back

Williams definitely, how about Walters back from Stoke now being used as a sub there?

I reckon MM will get in a hard tackling, hard working defensive midfielder. If we're lucky a big 6ft 4 inch target man forward, who can tackle back, and has a strike rate of 1 goal in 10 games. Good solid McCarthy type players....

Would love to see Walters back, however think an attacking central midfielder is what we're crying out for. Skuse in very poor form & wordsworth out on loan just leaves us with Hyam, Bru & Bishop

Well after this press conference my concerns have moved from quite worried to severe trepidation.

With Zaha going back to Palace and likely Warnock bringing a few of his old favourites Williams might be more of a possibility. He has cash to spend and Williams is certainly not a Warnock type of player. Is he still injured? And tbh I wouldn't feel too bad about Collison and Ambrose signing.

I don't think he is because he was playing for Crystal Palace at the weekend as a sub. It's a pitty Zaha is going back to Palace . That would be a dream loan lol

I would like Williams back because he made all the difference last season and we desperately need some sort of play maker in midfield

Ingyblue he refused to give a interview because he didn't want to be seen in a Ipswich kit sold his house before he was sold he was made captain disrespected us and keno then says keno bullied him hardly surprising is it.

Yep I,m pretty sure Walters told keane what he was he knew what a p----t he was so he was sold. Any folks we,re only 4 games in to the season ,have a little faith it's obvious MM is up to some pruning to bring some one in possible two players shortly

Slowly but surely, he is turning into Jewell

If not Williams then surely Nick Powell has got to be worth a look.?
