No Window Moves Expected - Ipswich Town News

Town are not expecting any players to exit the club during the January transfer window. However, boss Joe Royle admits that a player might leave should someone make Town an offer they couldn't refuse.

Royle said: "We have had no enquiries about any of our players by anyone. We do have a lot of good players here who people will be interested in but, while we are not rolling in cash, we are in a situation where we don't have to sell.

"If someone wanted any of our key players then they really would have to make an offer we could not refuse.

"There are still some players on free transfers and one or two youngsters we would allow out on loan."

Chris Hogg and Sam Morrow are currently on loan at Boston while Marcus Bent is at Leicester City and Alun Armstrong at Bradford. Armstrong, along with Dutchmen Martijn Reuser and Nabil Abidallah, is available on a free transfer.

Andy Marshall's second loan month with Wolves ends on January 31st and he is expected to return to Portman Road.
