Town boss Roy Keane says it is wrong to suggest that Owen Garvan and Jon Stead will not play for the Blues again on the basis that they weren’t in the squad at Peterborough last night. Earlier in the week, Keane said that he had told some members of his squad that they would be unlikely to play for him again.
An evidently angry Keane said: "Colin Healy and Damien Delaney were not in my squad for the Hawthorns but they were back last night.
"You cannot write off the Ipswich careers of Owen and Jon on the back of them not being at Peterborough.”
The Town manager also dismissed a claim that Alan Quinn was amongst those being cast aside: "I read that Alan Quinn was also on his way out. But he was in my team last night and he will back up that he has not been told I am thinking about letting him go.”
Meanwhile, Olympiakos are lining up a loan move for ex-Town loanee Giovani Dos Santos, according to reports in Greece.
Last week Keane said that the chances of Dos Santos returning to the Blues on loan from Spurs were "Very, very, very slim” despite numerous links in recent weeks.
Dos Santos has previously been mentioned in connection with Atletico Madrid, Espanyol, Galatasaray, Besiktas, Manchester City and Inter Milan this summer.
