Makin was said to have been offered a two month deal by the club, which was subject to be turned into a 12 month deal should Makin come through the pre-season campaign without any setbacks or injury problems, but Makin has now indicated he wants something with a bit more security.
Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, Makin commented: "It is normal contract negotiations – as simple as that. They have started at one end and I want a bit more – that is normal.
"I was resigned to the deal that was offered in May but I have had a think about it and I'm not particularly happy with it. I will have talks with Joe and we will go from there but it is no big deal.
"I have had no concrete offers from elsewhere or anything like that, I would just like something a bit more than has been put down just now. "
Makin missed all but August of last season following a hip injury that required two operations before it was properly fixed and he was able to start building up to be playing again.
