Imps Toast Loach To Ipswich For £1M

 

Ipswich Town will sign Watford goalkeeper Scott Loach for £1 million in January, netting the Imps 15% of the sell on fee.  The tractor boys will also take Hugo Rodallega on loan from Wigan and make bids for Ben Haim from Portsmouth and Andy King from Leicester.  On the downside  Bullard is off to Leeds United or QPR and Cresswell off to chew toffees at Everton

 

 

This paves the way for a busy January window for David Holdsworth,  eager to boost a side held together by hope, youth and string,  going into its second Lincolnshire derby in a week. David Holdsworth will add as many as 3-4 new faces to the side if everything works out.  Leeds have offered us Will Hatfield and Sanchez on a youth loan (see Tuesday’s story here) and Leicester City have agreed to Leicester City no3 keeper Adam Smith also joining on loan.

 

As for the other 1 or 2, that will depend on events unfolding with two other highly paid professionals on the verge of a move and a potential pay-off respectively.  Two have already left and together with the Loach cut three favourites can now be retained.  Thompson and Sheridan will now be offered deals until the end of the season at least and Conal the Conjurer is set for a longer term deal.
