Hodgson Confirms McAuley Interest - Ipswich Town News
West Brom manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed his interest in departing Town central defender Gareth McAuley and former Baggie Tomasz Kuszczak, who is currently with Manchester United. On Monday, the Northern Irishman told Blues boss Paul Jewell that he would be moving on when his contract is up at the end of June, with the Hawthorns understood to be his destination.
Hodgson said: "They are players that fall into the West Bromwich Albion category. If those players are available they will certainly be players we'll discuss.
"At the moment all that type of talk is pure speculation and I think there is going to be an awful lot of speculation in the next couple of weeks.
"This is the time when the agents are trying to move their players around and make them attractive to other clubs by supposedly having clubs who are interested in buying them."
