Reuser Set for Exit - Ipswich Town News

Town supersub Martijn Reuser says he will be looking for another club in the summer. The Dutchman says he wants to start matches, something which he sees as unlikely at Portman Road.

The former Vitesse Arnhem man says he has not fallen out with boss Joe Royle but has become fed up with his lack of starts: "Although Ipswich is a great club, I'll be trying to look for something else in the summer.

"I don't know if that will be in Holland or over here — everything is a possibility.

"I'm very happy with the club and with the supporters, but as a sportsman I want to play every week and I don't think I will have the opportunity here.

"I'm not angry with him or anything like that — he chooses the team.

"It is difficult to change his mind, but I have been trying for the year and a half that he has been here, although I played a few games in a row

"He is a great manager and I have a load of respect for him, but he knows and I know that it is time for me to be playing somewhere every week."

Reuser has another year left on his Portman Road deal after this season. The one-time Dutch international was offered a new contract in the summer of 2001 and is one of the higher earners at Portman Road, and as such may have to take a pay cut to leave.
