Town MD Ian Milne has reiterated that the Blues have no intention of selling any of their players during the January window and says there’s scope for manager Mick McCarthy to add to his squad if he wants to make further additions.
Speaking on Friday, McCarthy said there was "no chance” of January sales when asked whether there might be interest in striker Freddie Sears or other members of his squad and Milne concurred.
"Absolutely, as this time last season when we sold nobody and there was some interest in some players,” he told Saturday’s Life’s a Pitch on BBC Radio Suffolk.
"I’m sure there will be some interest in ‘Hurricane’ Sears, as I call him, but nobody’s up for sale, we want to keep them.
"You never know, if somebody comes in with a huge bid and then it’s a discussion with the player, you don’t want to keep a player back.
"But certainly, as I stand here, there are no plans to sell anybody and I think going forward if Mick needs to complement the team, which I can’t see that he does at the moment, if he wants to complement the team, that’s a discussion that he and Marcus will have.
"I think we’ve shown that where we need to take on players, we’ve taken on some great players.
"It’s a great squad. I was with Mick on Friday and he’s very happy with the squad that he’s got and they’re proving themselves on the pitch.”
Manager McCarthy has repeatedly said that he is happy with his squad as it stands.
