No Murphy Deal - Ipswich Town News
Sunderland’s Daryl Murphy did not join the Blues in the final minutes of the transfer window, according to reports. The Irish frontman’s on-off, on-off move to Portman Road was said to be back on in the latter stages of the transfer window but the 26-year-old remains on Wearside.
Murphy could still join the Blues on loan when the emergency window opens in a week’s time.
Town's move for Sheffield Wednesday defender Richard Wood also appears to have come to nothing, although again the centre-half is still a possible temporary signing when the emergency loan window opens.
