Keane: It\'ll Take Time - Ipswich Town News

Boss Roy Keane says it’ll take him a bit longer to put together the "core" of the squad he wants at Town. The Blues boss again looks likely to make significant moves into the transfer market in the summer.

Keane said: "I’ve been here seven or eight months but sometimes I have to understand that it probably takes a bit longer to get the core of players I want at the football club. But as we all know, unfortunately you don’t get that time.

"I’ve signed a two-year contract, but I’ve said before it probably takes three or four years to get the club running that way you want it to be.

"But unfortunately you don’t always get that, however, you have to understand that, that’s the name of the game. You’ve got to be quick, learn from your mistakes, learn about the players you bring into your football club, not just as players but their characters, what kind of people they are.”

Yesterday, Keane said he could make one immediate move into the transfer market with a loan addition to his squad a possibility, while Brentford have made an enquiry regarding a loan deal for Pim Balkestein ahead of a permanent deal in the summer.
