Ipswich boss Joe Royle has revealed he has failed in moves for Charlton duo Matt Holland and Jonatan Johansson.
Royle is desperate to bolster his threadbare squad after a disappointing start to the season.
Town are currently languishing in 15th spot in The Championship and Royle believes they need reinforcements during the January transfer window.
Royle made enquiries about taking Holland and Johansson on loan in January, but Charlton have rebuffed Town's overtures.
Despite Holland and Johansson being well down the pecking order at The Valley, Charlton boss Alan Curbishley is unwilling to let them leave.
"There is no one available for loan from Charlton - not Matt, not Jonatan," said Royle.
"The question was asked and the answer was no."

HEHE - not sure if we need experienced players - or players who will get stuck in and do the job. Personally I am against Matty coming here and playing in midfield - although in defence I am all for it. He does have pace - well anyone does compared to De Vos!!! And he could change positions midway through a game to help us out.Phil wrote:why do we need another centre half then?bluebird wrote:Don't forget his not a bad centre half!Phil wrote:Matt Holland? he's a modern Town legend but do we really need another midfeild player?![]()
Our biggest problem is in attack where we are desperate now IMO. Midfield has more choice than we have had for years - so I would focus on our scoring first and foremost. If we were able to be more of a threat going forward then this would actually ease the pressure on the back line considerably!!!
