McKenna: Nothing Imminent But Work Continues - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Kieran McKenna says no further additions to his squad are imminent but that work will continue until the end of the window to find players who will improve the squad at the right price.
So far, the Blues have added four players, Jack Taylor, Cieran Slicker, George Hirst and loanee Omari Hutchinson, but with CEO Mark Ashton having recently said he anticipates two or three more recruits before the window closes on September 1st.
"I don’t think there’s anything very imminent,” McKenna said. "Of course, this has been a very busy week for myself and the coaching staff with three games in the first six days.
"Once we get through Saturday, it will be a good time to sit and review where we’re at with a couple of weeks to go on the window and having seen everybody play now and also having gone through the first two Championship games.
"The club are still working very hard, I’m involved in that work as well, but at the moment the situation is the same as it was.
"We have a big and competitive squad, we want to improve that squad, there aren’t so many players out there at the right price that can improve what we have here but we’ll work very hard until the last day of the window to find those players and bring them here.”
