Chairman: Squad Additions - Ipswich Town News

Town chairman David Sheepshanks says that manager Joe Royle will have the financial resources to add to his squad as the season progresses. Royle said yesterday that he is close to securing two loan players, with one expected to be Arsenal youngster Justin Hoyte.

Sheepshanks told the club site: "We do have a small squad at the moment but we intend to add to that as the season progresses.

"We will look to do that with additional loan players, possibly on a season-long loan basis and, if we can afford it, a further permanent arrival."
