Kisnorbo Not Off to China - Ipswich Town News
On-loan Leeds defender Patrick Kisnorbo has dismissed reports that he is set to join Chinese club Liaoning Whowin, contrary to claims from a sports management company - which has now removed its Twitter feed - and reports in China earlier today.
The 31-year-old former Australian international told the club site: "It’s all rubbish. I have never heard of the club or the company either, so I don’t have a clue where the story has come from.
"I’m here at Ipswich until the end of the season and then I will look at my future after that. All I am concerned about at the moment is doing my best for the club and helping Ipswich move up the table.”
Meanwhile, the Blues first team squad is off paintballing in Essex today.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
