McCarthy Watches Palace's U21s - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy was spotted watching Crystal Palace’s U21s beat their Bristol City counterparts 2-0 at Tooting and Mitcham’s KNK Stadium yesterday afternoon.
Amongst the players that McCarthy, whose family home is not too far away in Bromley, will have caught in action were former Blues midfielder Owen Garvan and one-time Town keeper Neil Alexander.
Garvan was left out of Palace’s 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the season and is believed to have been the subject of interest from unnamed Championship clubs during this transfer window.
Ex-loanee Tyrone Barnett was in action for the Robins following his recent loan from Peterborough, McCarthy having made an enquiry regarding the striker prior to his switch.
