Town are reportedly close to completing their first signing of the summer. The Blues have been in talks with a number of players since the end of the season but are yet to announce an addition to Paul Jewell’s squad.

If a deal is immediately on the cards as is claimed, there are plenty of candidates. Over the weekend, Town were said to be leading the chase for Sunderland defender Nyron Nosworthy, who is also understood to have spoken to Reading and Crystal Palace and may have been the player in talks at Portman Road just over a week ago.

Germinal Beerschot midfielder Faris Haroun, Tranmere left-back Aaron Cresswell and Sheffield United striker Ched Evans are just three of many players understood to have been interesting the Blues this summer, while Preston’s Keith Treacy, tipped to be joining the Blues on his return from international duty, is still with the Republic of Ireland ahead of their friendly against Italy on Tuesday.

Chief executive Simon Clegg is currently away representing the club at the Football League AGM in Cyprus.

Tractorog added 15:58 - Jun 6 It must be a new definition of the word imminent that I had not previously come across... Imminent (Noun): Meaning Phil is short of advertising revenue in the closed season

TotalBlue added 16:00 - Jun 6 Legend People hear things by searching the web and also knowing family and friends. At the end of the day its all rumour until Paul and Simon sit there and announce but Chopra and Rhodes is available in some places on the web. You also have to realise 90% of rumour is started by the Agents to try and get more money and clients.. At the end of the day if people dont want rumour go to Ispwich official site fan sites will always be full of rumour and very often quite good fun, also by the way.. Put your money on Wayne Rooney signing by the end of the week lol

tortoise added 16:11 - Jun 6 I know the son in law of one of the chief scouts. I asked a couple of weeks ago if he could give me one name who we would sign........... And he said Chopra! Doesn't mean this is him, but would be a great signing.

4dy added 16:26 - Jun 6 i heard its ant and dec!!! i love all this transfer talk,all this " i once passed a bloke who saw beckham on a bus an he said hes coming to ipswich...!we are all hoping that the players that come in help us get that 15 to 20 points we are short of being in the mix next season.and the plain fact is the only people who know the answer to our questions obviously havent finished their buisiness.

PhilTWTD added 17:01 - Jun 6 Blimey, just spotted this had reached 87 comments! Not sure why I got stick earlier on, wasn't me saying a deal was imminent, hence the sceptical nature of the story. Cheers to those who said nice stuff re the site.

h32 added 19:32 - Jun 6 Sindre94 - In a sensible world a POSITIVE Club equals POSITIVE Supporters. Events over the past few seasons indicate that we, as a Club, are anything but. Only 'cloud cuckoo land' inhabitants would disagree - and yes, there are some.

Crazee added 19:48 - Jun 6 For "imminent", read "something during 2011/2012 season (hopefully)" I have never known such a poor time to be a Tractor Boy and I've been going to PR since 1967!

StochesStotasBlewe added 20:33 - Jun 6 Then cloud cuckoo land is the place to be rather than the negative fans who inhabit doomsville. For goodness sake have a day off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
