New loan signing Patrick Kisnorbo says he’s keen to show what he can do having joined the Blues on a month’s loan. The 31-year-old Leeds centre-half has played only one Capital One Cup tie for his parent side this season.

Kisnorbo told the club site: “It’s great to be here and it’s great to have the opportunity to play some football again.

“I haven’t been playing at Leeds and I’ve got the opportunity to come here now, so I just want to do well for the manager, the players and the fans.

“It’s been well documented that I’ve had a couple of injuries during my time at Leeds and it’s been hard, but I’m fully fit now and ready to show what I can do.”

The Australian international, who was once red-carded at Portman Road for a professional foul during his time with the Foxes, says he might have become a Town player earlier in his career: “There was talk about me coming here before from Leicester, along with Gareth McAuley but it didn’t happen in the end.
“It was unfortunate but that’s football. I’m glad to be here now though and there’s a great set-up here at Ipswich.

“That was then though and I’m here now and looking forward to doing well with my new team-mates.

“The first thing I said to the lads when I arrived was that there’s a good squad here and we can certainly keep moving forward. You know what it’s like in the Championship though, it’s really up and down.”

BillBlue added 16:57 - Jan 3 I can only see him being here as short term cover but welcome anyway. One part of the defence that does need strengthening is a permanent, good, goalkeeper and I see that Neil Alexander (remember him) who is still with Rangers (now Scottish 3rd Div!!) is likely to become unhappy because he is looking for a three year deal and Rangers are only offering him a one year deal. Might be worth keeping an eye on. COYB

lonelyblue added 23:54 - Jan 3 Alexander has been happy to play just a few cup games and odds and sods for years now - basically just on the bench and picking up his wages. He was great for us years ago, but I'm suspicious of his attitude, and doubt that, given his lack of match practice, he'll be much goodness any more.
