Swindon: We've Had No Bids - Ipswich Town News

Swindon chairman Jeremy Wray says his club have not received a bid from Town for Matt Ritchie (pictured) and Paul Caddis. The Blues were understood to have made a move for the winger and the right-back over the weekend, manager Paul Jewell having revealed that Town had made an offer for two players at one club and a third target from another after Saturday’s draw with Blackpool.

However, Wray says his club have not received any offers for any of his squad: "There have been no bids for any of our players.”

With speculation rife regarding Ritchie in particular, the left-footed right winger was also linked with Reading, Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday over the weekend and Town were amongst a host of clubs represented at Swindon’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy clash at Barnet last Tuesday, manager Paolo Di Canio says he’s determined to hold on to the 22-year-old: "I told him to forget about going somewhere, we want to keep him and bring in other players. We want to win the league and he is one of the main parts of this team.

"He was fantastic at Rotherham and thanks to him. He did his part and he is a fantastic professional and hopefully he can keep going until the end of the season.”

Last week, Swindon made an offer for Town striker Ronan Murray, who they want to sign on a permanent basis after his successful loan at the County Ground. Murray is now back with the Blues with that spell over at the weekend.
