Keane: Lisbie Could Still Be Sold - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Roy Keane says the Blues could still sell Kevin Lisbie before the end of January, despite deciding against recalling the striker from his season-long loan at Colchester United. Lisbie will remain with the U’s unless Town receive an offer from another club.

Keane says he decided not to recall the former Charlton man as he has plenty of other striking options at present: "I know I said a few weeks back that Kevin would be coming back but I think I'm entitled to change my mind and Kevin will be staying with Colchester for now.

"He's playing games and with Stern staying another month and Connor looking sharp, Jon Stead only missing two league games and Pablo and Tamás Priskin pushing to get back involved, we have decided to leave Kevin at Colchester.

"That situation can change, like it can with any player at the club, if we get an offer for him. But for now he will stay with Colchester and I would think that if he is still there at the end of January, then he's likely to see the season out with them. We will see how it pans out though."

Lisbie is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2011, having joined the club from Colchester for £750,000 in 2008.
