Weekend Links - Ipswich Town News

Manchester City is once again claimed to be George Burley's source for new signings with Mark Kennedy and Danny Tiatto both mentioned in as Town targets. Kennedy had been reported to have committed to City, but now it is claimed he is off to Town for £1.5 million. We're not holding our breath.

Tiatto was linked to Town last week and would be more expensive than his City compatriot. The Australian is likely to fetch around £3.5 million, but if Town are interested then they would face opposition from Southampton.

The big rumour in Stoke is the claim that Town have been watching their Player of the Year Brynjar Gunnarsson. The 25-year-old Icelandic defender has been the star of Stoke's side this season as they have made their way into the Second Division play-offs. Also known to play in midfield, Gunnarsson is a regular in the Icelandic side along with Hermann Hreidarsson.

Town's U17s got back to form after their FA Youth Cup defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The youngsters beat West Ham 2-0 at Chadwell Heath with a goal in each half from Darren Bent.
