Clarke could be Leeds target
BILLY Clarke could be the next player on his way out of Portman Road in a loan move.
The teenage Blues striker is being lined up for a loan move to a League One club, with Leeds United understood to be among the interested parties, in order for him to play more games.
Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton is in talks with Clarke's agent about the player going out for an initial month, which could lead to something longer term.
With Danny Haynes back from suspension, and Dean Bowditch making good progress after his groin operation, Clarke's chances are even more limited, although he has played a part in the first team squad this season.
The 19-year-old from Cork, who enjoyed a loan spell during Colchester United's promotion push the season before last, has made six Town appearances this campaign, all from the bench.
Magilton said: “Billy is very much part of the first team squad but if the right opportunity came along for him to be playing regular first-team football elsewhere for a month that would be beneficial to him - then I would allow him to go.â€
Alan Lee, Pablo Counago and Jon Walters are ahead of him in the first-team pecking order.
Clarke is expected to be named along with Owen Garvan next week in the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad that plays England in his home city next month.
The Blues have already shipped out George O'Callaghan and Matt Richards to Brighton, Ian Miller to Darlington and Sammy Moore to Brentford and are looking to move a number of other players.

Clarke Set for Loan
Boss Jim Magilton says striker Billy Clarke can go out on loan. A number of League One sides are believed to be interested in taking the Irish U21 international on a short-term spell.
Magilton said: “Billy is very much part of the first team squad, but if the right opportunity came along for him to be playing regular first team football elsewhere for a month that would be beneficial to him, then I would allow him to go.â€
Leeds United are reported to be amongst those interested in the 19-year-old, who previously spent time on loan at Colchester United in the 2005/06 season when he made two starts and four sub appearances but failed to find the net. Clarke has started 13 games for Town and has appeared 27 times from the bench, scoring four goals since progressing from the academy.
The Blues already have Ian Miller on loan at Darlington, Sammy Moore at Brentford and Matt Richards and George O'Callaghan at Brighton. The Seagulls' interest in taking Dean Bowditch on a second loan spell has cooled in recent weeks.

Hvis det er snakk om bare en måned, blir det ikke mange kampene på Billy... Med formen til Beckford og Kandol er det ikke sikkert han får spille i det hele tatt!
Kjenner ikke til spilleren, men anser dette som uaktuelt. Spesielt også om det er bare for en måned.
Kanskje han er et framtidsprosjekt, men er en Ipswich-reject (- han er ikke det nå, men kan kanskje bli) en som skal skyte Leeds tilbake til CCC og etterhvert til PL.... Neppe!
Vi har spisser nok - som alle trolig er bedre enn unge mr. Clarke.
Nå er også Leon C. på vei tilbake. Med hans track-record tror jeg at superduoen Beckford/Kandol bør fortsette å bøtte inn med mål. Bak lurer L.C.

Flo har vi jo også. Jeg trur også at Elliot og Ameobi er like store talent
I utgangspunktet er eg skeptisk, men det kan jo vere at Flo'en framleis føler skaden og at vi treng eit cover nokre veker framover. Ameobi har vel ikkje akkurat imponert i dei siste to reservelagskampane...
Det går no vel ikkje an å stole på Flo. Har inntrykk at bare ei flue lander på han blir han skadet. Han bør vel legge inn årene akkurat som solskjær.
ser ikke poenget med å hente inn en spiss på en måneds lån!
ivertfall ikke når vi har flo, elliott og ameobi i bakhånd
Forget it!
...iallefall hvis vi skal ta på alvor manager Magiltons uttalelser:

Om gutten kom innom oss i en måned ville det jo etter all sannsynlighet bare være en måneds benketilværelse i en annen klubb.
Neppe særlig "beneficial" for noen parter...
