No Deal for Grande - Ipswich Town News

Canadian international trialist Sandro Grande will not be offered a deal with the Blues. Town arranged a behind-closed-doors game with Colchester yesterday to have a look at the former Brescia midfielder.

Colchester won the match 2-1 and despite impressing Grande was told afterwards that he is not what the Blues are currently looking for.

Town boss Joe Royle is after wide midfielders while Grande sees himself more as a central player.
