Joe's Fuller Hope - Ipswich Town News
Joe Royle says he has not given up hope of landing Southampton striker Ricardo Fuller on loan. The Jamaican international was initially reluctant to join the Blues for the rest of the season but Royle says the situation could change.
The Town boss said: "The deal is not dead. It is a big move for the player and he wants to talk to his agent, who has been out of the country.
"Nothing is likely to happen quickly, but I have not given up hope. I have two other strikers I am in contact with and have not ruled out something happening this week."
