Lisbie Wants Keane Talks - Ipswich Town News

Striker Kevin Lisbie says he wants to speak with Roy Keane about his future after the Town manager revealed that he will be recalling the on-loan striker from his spell at Colchester United in January. Lisbie, who celebrates his 31st birthday today, says he knew nothing of his season-long loan being cut short until Keane made the comments to the media.

The former Charlton man recently said he would not be returning to Town, but Keane wants him back at Portman Road having received interest from other clubs regarding permanent deals for the ex-Jamaica international.

Lisbie says he wants to talk to Keane about the situation: "I see that he has said that there are a few clubs interested in me, but the problem is that I'd like him to speak to me first.

"I'd like him to call me. Roy has not spoken to me yet, so I knew nothing about this recalling me. It's a horrible way to find out.

"I think he should have spoken to me first. To be honest, I feel like a piece of meat.”

Lisbie is enjoying his second spell with the U’s and wants to remain with the League One side: ”I want to see the season through at Colchester. That situation hasn't changed.

"I want to speak to the manager here [Aidy Boothroyd]. I feel settled at Colchester, and I won't go somewhere I don't want to go.”

Lisbie, who cost Town £750,000 when he moved from Colchester in the summer of 2008, is contracted to the Blues until 2011.
