The January transfer window closed at 11pm with no final day moves in or out of Portman Road.
As expected, claims of a £2 million move for Gillingham’s Bradley Dack proved to be wide of the mark. Later reports suggested Bristol City were the club to have had an offer for the 22-year-old midfielder turned down by the Gills.
Elsewhere, the Blues, Leeds and Bristol City were all reported to be showing loan interest in Sunderland right-back Adam Matthews.
According to the Shields Gazette, the Black Cats may be willing to allow the 24-year-old former Cardiff and Celtic man to go out on loan when the emergency provision is available to Football League clubs from Monday.
However, a right-back would seem an unlikely target for the Blues with Kevin Foley recently having signed.
The Wales international has made only one start in the Capital One Cup and one Championship sub appearance for the Wearsiders, both in August, since signing from Celtic for £2 million in the summer.
Meanwhile, Jordan Rhodes finally completed his stop-start move from Blackburn to Middlesbrough for an initial fee reported to be £9 million, signing a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Town are set to receive a small sum as a result with the £8 million deal which saw the 25-year-old move to Ewood Park from Huddersfield in 2012 including a 20 per cent of profit sell-on clause.
The Blues also included a sell-on clause, understood to be 10 per cent of any profit, when Rhodes joined the Terriers in 2009 - for a fee which eventually rose to just over £1 million after top-ups and the sell-on - and if the figures quoted are correct should receive a further £20,000.
Ex-Town midfielder Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has joined the MK Dons on loan for the rest of the season from QPR.
Former Blues winger Lee Martin extended his loan from Millwall to League Two Northampton Town to the end of the campaign, having initially joined the Cobblers earlier in January.
Leicester’s Tom Lawrence completed a loan move to Cardiff City for the rest of the season, Town having been one of several Championship clubs linked over the weekend.
