Supple Charlton Link - Ipswich Town News

Charlton are reported to be interested in Town keeper Shane Supple. Addicks boss Alan Curbishley was at Portman Road recently to see the Blues in action against Hull City.

Curbishley has also been linked with Tigers keeper Boaz Myhill and is understood to want to add a netsman to his squad over the summer.

Midfielder Owen Garvan has also been suggested as the reason for Curbishley's visit to Portman Road, Charlton already having five ex-Town players in their ranks.

Supple, who signed a new three-year contract last October, recently said that he is not interested in a move at this stage of his career: "I am delighted to be playing first team football, I want to play as much first team football as possible now that I have had a taste of it. I want to stay at Ipswich as long as I can, and hopefully get to the Premiership with Ipswich.

"I look at those lads who made the moves like Richard Wright. He left Ipswich when he was very young, and I think he should have stayed another year.

"I suppose it was hard to turn down a move to Arsenal, with David Seaman on the verge of moving on. But it didn't go for Richard, unfortunately, and he hasn't played many games in the five years since he left Ipswich."

Supple is interviewed in the next issue of TWTD, out ahead of the Stoke game on Saturday and available online (at a reduced subscription rate until the end of the week or for free by signing up to an affiliate) from www.twtdonline.co.uk. Also featured in issue 82 is an interview with ex-Blue Martijn Reuser.
