Weekend Links - Ipswich Town News
With Town's Premiership status looking precarious in the extreme the weekend papers are full of stories linking players with moves elsewhere. Most of these are stories we have read before over the last year or so.
Some we've not heard before are a claim that Marcus Bent will be a £4 million summer target of West Ham and one suggesting Fulham may be willing to pay £3 million for Jermaine Wright.
Elsewhere Titus Bramble is again linked with Newcastle, Arsenal and now Liverpool (£4.5 - £8 million depending on which paper), Marcus Stewart with Sunderland (£2 million), Martijn Reuser with Spurs and Finidi George with a return to Spain.
