On-loan central defender Patrick Kisnorbo is joining Liaoning Whowin in China, according to Australian management sources. Leeds centre-half Kisnorbo moved to Portman Road in January and was due to remain with the Blues until the end of the season.

Calibre Sports Management, who represent various Australian players, tweeted: “Busy day - ex-Socceroo and Leeds United defender Patrick Kisnorbo has joined Liaoning Whowin FC in China.”

The 31-year-old’s apparent impending exit - he is at training at Playford Road this morning - appears to explain manager Mick McCarthy’s change of mind regarding a sixth domestic loanee with Reece Brown having joined from Manchester United yesterday.

Kisnorbo, who played for the U21s in their 4-3 victory over Colchester last night, has made only one senior Blues appearance, the FA Cup tie at Aston Villa in January. His Leeds contract is up at the end of June.

While the UK transfer window is closed, it remains open in China until the end of the month.

Bluecynic added 09:52 - Feb 26 I wouldnt blame him- silly sitting around waiting for a Chambers/Smith injury. Did well for us at Villa Park so thanks PK. No complaints about Reece Brown- could be one for the future.

SouperJim added 09:53 - Feb 26 Well hopefully this will be an end to all the whinging about Mick signing Brown on loan. But considering all the negativity on here, I doubt it...

Toepunt added 09:58 - Feb 26 So this explains Reece Brown's signing?

gazzmac4 added 10:02 - Feb 26 He was in my opinion one of the better performers at Villa Park. His aerial presence was excellent throughout that game. However we only ever signed him as a backup so i guess this makes sense for him. And also if Brown is coming from United we can expect him to be a very able deputy if needed. I am however rather gutted that we only really got one chance to sing 'Kisnorbo wooah, Kisnorbo wooah. He came from dirty Leeds, he fulfils our short term needs.' Which is, to me, one of the greatest chants ever created. Good luck PK.

PYBlue added 10:25 - Feb 26 Brown is still a waste of a loadn signing. We have Hewitt who can do a job and Sterman can play CB as well. We need a goal scorer

WadeyBlue added 10:28 - Feb 26 No, we dont need a goal scorer, we need a middle of the park play maker, who pulls all the strings. Yes, its time for Pablo to come back.....

muncer added 10:43 - Feb 26 Proves again that Mick knows exactly what he's doing at the club. Positive going forward!

Fatcatevans added 11:13 - Feb 26 Pablo? Now you are just having a laugh. We need big hearts and effort in the current situation. Not the odd bit of skill coupled with lethargy

MattinLondon added 11:29 - Feb 26 At least Pablo had the ability to do the unexpected - would easily of been more consistent if he had better players around him. But his time has gone. There is only so far 'big hearts and effort' can get you - we just need quality.

Michael11 added 11:35 - Feb 26 Presumably why we signed Reece Brown then. Pablo? Haha!! He wasn't as good as you all made out 10 years ago let alone now!

Grimsbyblue added 12:01 - Feb 26 Oh so Mick does know what he is doing then, unlike what many on here would have you believe! Continues to do the deals before we find out, and as this one proves in a timely fashion. Couldn't understand the Recce signing at the time, looks like a good deal now.

WadeyBlue added 12:20 - Feb 26 alright, calm down people. i was only jokng about Pablo! Actually to fair though, he had and probably still has so much more ability and class than any of our current squad. We could still play him, he's only 31. Anyone know who hs agent is?

Mark added 12:29 - Feb 26 Suddenly the Brown transfer makes a lot more sense, and perhaps from Reece's point of view too as he might know he is leaving Man Utd so could want to impress us to earn a deal here, if a transfer in the summer were possible.

sirbenofmorlingshire added 12:33 - Feb 26 Well I hope he leaves on good terms, would hate to see his time here being remebered as 'sweet and sour' (or something like that...) ;-)

Calderboy added 13:31 - Feb 26 Phil call me stupid but how does a 31 year old get to play for the U21s?

sirbenofmorlingshire added 14:47 - Feb 26 CALDERBOY - sure I read something on here some weeks back, that you can field up to 5 over 21's to play in 21's games. I guess logically not many squads will have loads of under 21's so it makes sense to bulk the numbers up a bit with a few reserve/fringe players. I think thats right???

BlueMachines added 16:05 - Feb 26 Oh dear. All your points on here either negative or positive are pointless. All the Reece Brown talk is null and void. Haha, well said Wickets
