Jim: Campo Staying
By Aston
October 31 2008
Town manager Jim Magilton says Ivan Campo will be staying at Portman Road despite reports in the local media suggesting he would be swapped with Charlton for Darren Ambrose.
The 34-year-old midfielder has drifted in and out of the side this season and it was reported earlier today that he would be going to Charlton with Darren Ambrose going the other way, but Magilton says that is not true as Campo is still big influence around the club even if he isn't playing.
Town manager Jim Magilton: "After a game managers will always speak about players and Ivan's name was mentioned on Tuesday.
"I think they were interested in him in the summer and but there is no more to it than just talk after a game. We've not had a solid enquiry that we have to consider.
"Ivan is part of our plans here and the spectre of him hanging over the rest of the lads, waiting for his chance is there.
"He has a massive influence here. He trained with some of the younger lads this week, helping them and they can't believe that they have got a player of his statue helping them.
"He has not played the last couple of games but he knows he is only an injury away from being involved again, it's just a case of waiting for his opportunity."
