Jay Tabb has emphasised his desire to stay with Town, even when a pre-season chat with manager Mick McCarthy left him with the option to move elsewhere.
Town will receive around £200,000 should Marcus Bent complete his move from Everton to Charlton. The Addicks are paying the Toffeemen an initial £2 million for the nomadic striker plus another £500,000 when the 27-year-old reaches a set number of appearances.
Boss Mick McCarthy believes his Ipswich Town side are capable of causing an FA Cup upset when they take on the Premier League’s third-placed side Southampton in tonight’s third round replay at Portman Road (BBC1 from 7.30pm, KO 7.55pm). McCarthy says he saw enough in the Blues’ display in the 1-1 draw at St Mary’s 10 days ago to feel his team is in with a chance.
