Norris Still to Make Decision - Ipswich Town News
Departing Town captain David Norris is still to decide where his future lies despite telling the Blues he was moving on after the final game of the season against Leicester. The 30-year-old, who is looking for a three-year deal rather than the two on offer at Portman Road, is interesting a number of Championship clubs including Portsmouth, Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Crystal Palace and Hull, as well as Premier League Wigan.
Norris is understood to have recently held talks with Pompey, who have been chasing him since January, but is still weighing up his various alternatives.
Forest in particular may be more attractive to the midfielder, who stressed the importance of moving nearer to his family in Peterborough when he joined the Blues from Plymouth in January 2008.
Elsewhere, West Ham have been linked with a £750,000 move for Southend midfielder Kane Ferdinand, who was watched by the Blues on numerous occasions during the season.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
