Bruce Rules out Murphy and Healy Signings

Thw two strikers have been liked with moves to Portman Road on many occasions over the past few months, but Bruce said he does not want to reduce numbers in his squad at the present time.

"We haven't got a lot of players to choose from right now. So David Healy is staying at Sunderland, so is Daryl Murphy for the next two or three months at least because the numbers we have to call on is small, in that respect.

"I took a decision - I wouldn't call it a gamble - that the money we were offered for some of our squad players was too good to turn down. But, as things stand now, we really can't let any more go."
