Klug: Window Was Unsettling - Ipswich Town News

First team coach Bryan Klug says the speculation which engulfed the club during the transfer window had an unsettling effect at Portman Road. Klug also says that incorporating all the new signings into the side is something which will take a little while.

Klug told the club site: "It's been very unsettling for everybody. There's been speculation about players coming in and I don't think it has helped us. We want to get our squad together now and get on the training field and work with them.

"I think we're trying to integrate a lot of new players into the team and it does take time. Wolves are the best team we've played this year by a long chalk and they've had the basis of that team for a couple of years.

"We're really putting together a second team and it's going to take time, and people have got to understand that."

Klug also feels that the international fixtures have come at the wrong point in the season: "It's a rotten time to have the break really because the one thing you want to do is get back out on the field and put it right.

"We've lost some of our players who we want to do work with, so it makes it a little bit difficult but the players that are here have worked hard and responded well to what went on at the weekend.

"We would have liked to have had another game pretty quick. When we get our players back next week, that's when we really can start planning for the next game."

Town are looking to add another central defender and a left midfielder to the squad on a 93-day emergency loan basis prior to the home game with Reading on September 13th.
