Derry: No Progress on Bialkowski Switch - Ipswich Town News

Notts County manager Shaun Derry says “nothing’s progressed” on Town’s move for his keeper Bartosz Bialkowski. The Blues and Magpies are understood to be continuing to talk regarding the 27-year-old Pole's proposed switch.

Speaking on Magpie Player after his side beat Arnold Town 4-0 in their first pre-season friendly last night Derry said: "Nothing’s progressed at this moment in time.

"Obviously we’re fully aware of Ipswich’s interest but as it stands at the minute Bart’s absolutely fine with the situation and we’re looking at him as still our number one for the start of the season.

He added: "Of course [you want to hold on to your players] but you have to look at the bigger picture sometimes.

"For me, it’s just imperative that we just get through these next few games. There’s so much that happens in the final week or two weeks before the season starts, so I suppose at this minute everything is just pure speculation.”
