New loan signing Asmir Begovic says doesn’t intend to spend his three months with the Blues sat on the subs' bench. The Bosnian international could make his Town debut when Roy Keane’s side face Swansea at Portman Road on Saturday.

Portsmouth keeper Begovic says he doesn’t see his role here as providing cover for Richard Wright: “It’s down to the manager who he picks but my intention is to play. Wherever I am I want to play, whether that’ll be the case we’ll see.

“I’m really excited to be here. I know the stadium because I’ve been here before [as sub keeper with Portsmouth in the FA Cup in January 2008]. The training ground is fantastic, it’s a well run club which is Premiership level.”

The 22-year-old was withdrawn from the Bosnia squad which lost to Spain in their final World Cup qualifier last night to complete his move to the Blues, having made his international debut as a sub in the 2-0 victory over Estonia on Saturday.

WickedBlue added 23:37 - Oct 15 @kerryblue you are a 1st class tw@t. RW is the best keeper in this division, our player of the year last year, and he has made two mistakes this year that has resulted in goals the rest is purely down to our crap defence. That is all you morons can remember not the world class saves he has made to keep goals out. Don't get me wrong about this new keeper, I know nothing about him I hope he is really good and can push RW but right now with our defence the way it is and talk about Bruce being back at CB I fear even if we played both of them in goal at the same time. A goal keeper is only as good as his defence think that should tell you something.
