Bramble Amongst Monday Links - Ipswich Town News

Former Blue Titus Bramble, currently with Wigan Athletic, has been linked with a summer return to Portman Road by one of this morning's tabloids. Meanwhile, Yeovil Town boss Russell Slade says he would like to sign Jaime Peters, who has been on loan at Huish Park since January, on a permanent basis.

Bramble returned to the Latics side for their 2-0 victory at Aston Villa at the weekend but prior to that match had been out of favour since January and may not be seen as a future first choice by boss Steve Bruce.

Slade says Peters has thrived in a role playing just off ex-Town frontman Marcus Stewart: "He has finished the season in good style.

"We have found a little slot for him where he seems to flourish on the ball, getting at people.

"But like any player worth his salt, if he can make a breakthrough and play in the Championship with Ipswich he is going to do that and stay there."

Elsewhere, Town have again been linked with Linfield striker Peter Thompson after watching the Irish League champions in action in their 2-1 Northern Irish Cup Final victory over Coleraine on Saturday in which the 24-year-old scored both goals. Town were previously linked with Northern Irish international Thompson back in 2006.

Last month, TWTD reported that the Blues are also interested in Linfield keeper Alan Mannus.
