Jewell Targeting Loanees for Weekend
Monday, 14th Feb 2011 14:15

Town manager Paul Jewell has revealed that he is looking to add “one or two” loanees to his squad before the weekend. The Blues boss was giving no hints on their identities but one is likely to be a central midfield player with skipper David Norris sidelined and loan signing Jimmy Bullard unavailable against his parent club Hull City on Saturday.

Jewell said: “I’m trying to get one or two in for the weekend. I can’t say too much because it might not happen, but hopefully by Thursday I’ll be able to tell you.

“We’re looking at loans and trying see what’s about, not just for this Saturday but I think it’s important not to think that we’ve already got our squad because we didn’t bring in too many in the transfer window.”

Jewell says he expects no immediate exits, aside from some of the youngsters: “I’m not looking to get anybody out, other than perhaps one or two kids that we’ll look to get out to get some experience somewhere, but no one around the first team will be going anywhere, unless they express a desire to go and it suits us, but we’re not looking for that.”

The Blues boss says there is nothing in weekend claims that Derby have expressed an interest in defender Damien Delaney: “They must have expressed it to someone else because they haven’t expressed it to me!”

Meanwhile, reserves coach Chris Kiwomya was spotted watching Barnet’s 3-0 home loss to Torquay at Underhill on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues have previously been linked with Gulls’ defender Mark Ellis, who was on the bench throughout, while 20-year-old winger Eunan O'Kane was mentioned in connection with a move to a higher division during January.

New Town coach Sean McCarthy will be aware of Torquay’s players having been based in Devon prior to joining his former Bradford team-mate Jewell at Portman Road last month.

suffolkpoker added 14:40 - Feb 14 cornishnick added 14:31 - Feb 14 A League Two reserve defender. Just the ticket This is all speculation... i cant see PJ going after someone like him tbh. Drury was Lutons best player. We came very close to signing austin, where i feel we wouldnt of even been in the race with keane. anyway if PJ thinks he is good, then thats enough for me! COYB

DiamondGezzer added 15:31 - Feb 14 Suffolkpoker; I'm going with you on this one. Haven't seen Drury yet so I can't comment on him, but if Jimmy Bullard and Austin are anything to go by, I can't wait to see who he brings in.

Mungo added 18:11 - Feb 14 Weirdly enough, I was also at the Barnet-Torquay game on Saturday! I'm not sure any player from either team would add much to the Ipswich side at the moment, although the Torquay defence was fairly solid and Eunan O'Kane did a lot of running! Mark Marshall (Barnet) reminded me a lot of Dean McDonald but aside from that there wasn't a lot on offer from either side...

runaround added 19:05 - Feb 14 It will be very interesting to see what type of players and the positions he goes for. It will show us how he wants to shape the side and perhaps certain players he does not rate at the club

jas0999 added 19:47 - Feb 14 'I can't say too much because it might not happen' - i.e. like99% of ITFC fans, PJ has no faith in Clegg. Rightly so, For me, we need three players: A striker, A central midfielder and a right-back
