The Rumour Room – 7th June

Last updated : 07 June 2005 By Nik Taylor

Ipswich Town’s sale of the family silver looks set to continue with Tommy Miller expected to be next to leave the Tractor Boys. Palace are one of a trio of clubs to be linked with the midfielder by the BBC – the other interested parties reported as being Sunderland and Leeds. However, Ipswich haven’t given up on retaining the services of the 26-year-old for themselves when his contract expires this summer.

Palace are also reported to be among a clutch of clubs interested in signing former Fulham man Lee Clark. The experienced midfielder has come to the end of his Craven Cottage contract and has not been offered a new one.

Among the older rumours that are still trundling along, the most promising looks to be the whisper that Arsenal 18-year-old Ryan Smith will come to Selhurst Park on a season-long loan.
