Town loanee Jimmy Bullard is reported to be holding talks with QPR regarding a move to Loftus Road today. Neil Warnock’s newly-promoted side were regularly represented at Portman Road during the 32-year-old’s hugely successful spell with the Blues, which saw him win the club’s Player of the Year award.

Blues boss Paul Jewell is keen to sign his former Wigan player on a permanent basis but has admitted that with Bullard having two years remaining on his £45,000-a-week contract at Hull it would be a very difficult deal for Town to do.

Premier League QPR — or Norwich or Wigan who have both also been linked — would find the financial aspects of a move for the one-time England call-up less challenging than the Blues, despite the player himself saying he enjoyed his time at Portman Road and would love to extend his stay if a deal could be done.

Meanwhile, exiting Nottingham Forest striker Nathan Tyson has turned down the chance to join Town and Millwall, according to a report in the Midlands, and is expected to sign for Derby County.

Elsewhere, former Blue John Kennedy, 32, has joined Bury Town, having been released by Cambridge City, while ex-reserves skipper Justin Miller, 30, has returned to Chelmsford City having left Rushden and Diamonds.

Tractastic added 23:40 - Jun 2 The speculation regarding Mr Bullard was obviously going to happen after Jimmy's great performances helped to keep us in the championship this season but if Jimmy gets a last shot at the premiership like Macauley then quite frankly who can blame them. More importantly who Mr Jewell will be bringing in this summer. I for one are confident that with Mr Jewell's experience and knowledge we will buy/loan players who help us push for promotion next year and after all its all about management and not big signings as our friends in Norfolk have shown us. Good times ahead me thinks.
