Town boss Mick McCarthy has said he is expecting to confirm a new signing today.

Speaking to ex-Blues striker Alan Brazil on talkSPORT this morning, the Town manager said he “expects to confirm one signing today and hopefully we will get more”. TWTD reported yesterday that Town are close to completing a deal with another potential move under discussion.

McCarthy is most keen to add wingers to his squad ahead of next Saturday’s first Championship game of the season at home to Barnsley with former Swansea and Ferencváros wideman Roland Lamah having been on trial for the last week.

As reported yesterday, we understand Crystal Palace youngster Sullay Kaikai is also very much on Town’s radar.

hoppy added 09:57 - Aug 1 As long as signing Shelia (or Sheila) from Arsenal doesn't affect Janet's role at Portman Road, dealing with new supporter applications, then I don't see that as a problem, paulcooperisgod.

Nazemariner added 10:07 - Aug 1 I'd imagine it'll be Lamah on a years deal. Not seen him play, so my view on his ability is worthless. Fingers crossed he turns out to be a good signing.

harmitfc added 10:09 - Aug 1 In keeping with all the Ipswich Boo-boys, Mick has just signed Christiano Ronaldo as our fourth choice keeper... IMWT!

GiveusaWave added 10:11 - Aug 1 More than likely that it is Lamah, a good and sensible move if so. Apparently that Spanish youngster we have had on trial has impressed (Celestino?) so could be him tomorrow. All good news.

BlueandTruesince82 added 10:14 - Aug 1 If Lamah are signs I suggest we call him Mark!

12th_Man added 10:23 - Aug 1 Good news reckon it will be Lamah on year deal

bressinghamblue added 10:36 - Aug 1 I heard a rumour that it's Bilbo Baggins from the Dog and Duck ;)

iaintaylorx added 10:43 - Aug 1 Read an article that it won't be Lamah just yet, due to a work permit. Hopefully KaiKai or someone out of the blue that will bang him 50+ a season wouldn't be too bad!!

Gilesy added 10:43 - Aug 1 How old is Brian Cant these days?

ThatMuhrenCross added 10:43 - Aug 1 Prepare yourselves for the arrival of an unheard of 16 year old midfielder from the Brighton youth set-up, yet to make a senior appearance, but with the potential of changing position to become a promising goalkeeper.....

hoppy added 10:46 - Aug 1 "someone out of the blue that will bang him 50+ a season wouldn't be too bad!!" ...but you'd still get people moaning about that, no doubt. I like the almost negative sounding "...wouldn't be too bad" bit. Could you go as far as '...might be quite good'?

yun added 10:48 - Aug 1 @Gilesy - Brian Cant is only any good when he plays away.

bluefeast added 10:50 - Aug 1 AMN is to be resigned.

Wickets added 10:51 - Aug 1 Sorry but i hope it's someone just a bit better than Lamah!

GiveusaWave added 10:57 - Aug 1 Will be very surprised if it is MCCormack. He knows we've wanted him for many years though so perhaps now is the time. Unfortunately money talks and he's more likely to sign for our noisy neighbours up the road. We can live in hope! Brian Cant is a bit old and unlikely to sign.

Michael11 added 11:00 - Aug 1 Maitland-Niles or Lamah is my bet. Hopefully end up with better than both before the season starts though.
