Millwall manager Kenny Jackett says Town’s valuation of Lions midfielder James Henry was so low that it caused his chairman to laugh. On Tuesday, Blues boss Paul Jewell revealed that Town had had the second of two offers for the 22-year-old turned down.
Jackett, who feels that selling any of his first teamers would destabilise his squad, told Southwark News: "Ipswich's valuation was very, very low. My chairman was laughing when he heard it."
Millwall are understood to rate the former Reading man in the £2.5 million bracket, while the Blues are likely to have offered at most somewhere around £1 million below that figure.
Having had the second bid turned down, Jewell said the Blues are unlikely to make another offer: ”They’ve told us he’s not for sale. That’s probably dead that one, so we’re looking elsewhere.”
