Keane: No More Moves Close - Ipswich Town News

Boss Roy Keane says he has received one or two enquiries regarding members of his squad but doesn’t expect any more immediate exits. The Town manager also doesn’t expect to make any imminent additions to his squad.

Keane says he has had a few other managers on the phone recently: "One or two calls but we have to cover ourselves at the moment. We’re fine in terms of numbers but with the amount of games coming up we want to be very, very careful.

"We had the Steady deal, we had to weigh that one up, but I’d be surprised if anyone goes out because we have a squad of 19 or 20 available for tomorrow and other than that the rest are young kids and with the amount of games coming up and injuries, we want to cover ourselves.”

The Blues boss has been targeting defensive additions to his squad but says no further deals are currently close to completion: "I wouldn’t expect anything unless something drastic happened over the next few games. We’ve got the four loan players in at the moment, who are all going to play their part, and you can only have five really involved.

"There are one or two positions at the club I’m constantly looking at but we’ve got one or two players already at the club who might get an opportunity in the positions I’m not sure about.”

Town have no new injury worries with young left-back Shane O'Connor fine despite picking up a minor knock towards the end of the 6-1 reserves defeat at Southend on Wednesday.
