Mackay Denies Priskin Bid - Ipswich Town News

Watford boss Malky Mackay has denied claims that Town have made an offer for striker Tamás Priskin. Yesterday TWTD revealed that Blues manager Roy Keane and coach Tony Loughlan were spotted at Vicarage Road watching the Hornets’ friendly victory over Parma.

After the game, Mackay said: "There is nothing at the moment in terms of Tamás. I am seeing what you are seeing in terms of press speculation but until such times that something would come in, then I would have to look at it and then react to it.”

While Keane and Loughlan were seen at Watford on Saturday, the Town boss has also denied a TV report claiming that a bid had been put in.

Meanwhile, Keane has confirmed that he still feels he needs to add to his squad to make them promotion contenders: "Over the last few years you always look at the teams that were relegated and generally two out of the three tend to bounce straight back.

"So, in terms of promotion, you look at the teams that came down, then you look at the Cardiffs, who just missed out, and you have got your Sheffield Uniteds.

"I would like to think that we will be in the mix if I can get a few more players. The Championship is very difficult - 12 weeks of the season you are playing three games in a week, so that is the challenge we face.

"I do have the option of one or two loan players, and that is always nice to have in the back of your mind, but I still need a core of Ipswich Town players."

Keane has said he is after two more front players with the midfield and defence looking more established.
