Town boss Joe Royle has ruled out a summer move for ex-Blue James Scowcroft. Royle has long been an admirer of the Stanton-based player but says Town don't have the cash to bring him back to Suffolk.
Royle said: "I'd love Scowcroft but we can't afford him and I doubt if Leicester would want to sell. I've always liked him and asked about him when I was at Manchester City, but he wasn't available then."
The Town boss is assessing his transfer options: "I am watching the situation very closely and have agents keeping me informed of possible moves. But I also need to let the dust settle before I can do anything.
"I haven't even spoken to the lads whose contracts are up so that's something I need to do fairly soon. The players need to know our intentions.
"While I have possible new singings in mind, it is still too early to go down that road. The immediate priority is to speak to players whose contracts are almost up and let them know whether or not we will be offering them a new one.
"These decisions are likely to be made public next week, once I have been able to speak to everyone.”
