Keane: Duo Have Hunger and Commitment - Ipswich Town News
Boss Roy Keane says the willingness of Carlos Edwards and Grant Leadbitter to drop down a division shows their hunger for the challenge which awaits them at Portman Road. The duo signed in a joint deal worth almost £4 million earlier this afternoon.
Keane told the club site: "I worked with both players at Sunderland and know what they are all about.
"They have dropped down from the Premier League to join us. That shows a hunger and commitment to play football for Ipswich Town and I'm delighted to have them here.
"They have played in the Championship, know what's needed to get out of this division and they will add qualities that we need at this football club."
