Keane Targeting Fifth Loanee - Ipswich Town News
Boss Roy Keane has revealed that that the Blues are talking to a number of clubs regarding a potential fifth loan signing. Keane feels that one area of his squad is short of cover, having previously indicated that he could look for an additional striker.
The Town manager said: "We’re in discussion with one or two clubs at the moment, but nothing might happen in the next week or so.
"I think we need one more player, I’ve said that over the last few weeks as there’s a certain area of the club where if we got any sort of injury we’d be short. I don’t think you need to be Einstein to work out where that might be.”
Keane has revealed that a couple of his players picked up knocks in training on Sunday, with one of those injuries likely keep an unnamed member of his squad out of Tuesday’s Carling Cup tie against Northampton.
The Blues boss says those players will be assessed today and tomorrow before he names his side after training on Tuesday.
Winger Reggie Lambe will come into Keane's thoughts after returning from international duty with Bermuda’s U20s yesterday, earlier than had been expected with their third match against Haiti having been called off after their opponents pulled out of the U20 World Cup qualifying group.
Jack Colback and Jake Livermore are cup-tied and will miss out on Tuesday having played for Sunderland and Tottenham earlier in the competition.
