Championship - Keane wants 'four of five' more signings

Eurosport - Fri, 03 Jul 11:32:00 2009

Roy Keane is looking to sign "four or five" more players for Ipswich, hopefully within the next two weeks.

2008-2009 Ipswich Town Roy Keane - 0

As the current crop of players began pre-season training this week, Keane admitted that two potential signings were virtually agreed and was still hoping to add at least two more ahead of the season's kick-off on August 8.

He told the Evening Star: "We've probably been linked with 50 or 60 players over the last few weeks and it would be unfair of me to talk about players until they've signed.

"I hope, in time, to bring in maybe four or five. We are close with two and there will be hopefully be another two or three over the next two weeks.

"The fun and games will start over the next few weeks when managers get back to their clubs and take stock of what they've got. It's quite difficult these days with the transfer fees that are mentioned, but if you want quality you've got to pay for it."

  4. Sorry i had to break that 'DROSS' as you call­ it, into loads of posts; the asreholes at Yahoo are at­ it again with their 'invalid' carp!

  6. As for Robson and Allardyce . . .get your facts right;­ BOTH were fired by their respective Chairmen, it had­ nothing whatsoever to do with the fans! Allardyce's­ card was marked the day ashley took over and we defo,­ defo did not want Robson removed.

  7. I mentioned Gullit and souness myself and they were­ rightfully hounded out, as was Dalglish, he was­ dreadful too - clueless!
    As for Shepherd, he wasn't­ hounded out, he sold up to ashley.
    ashley hunded out -­ YES absolutely AND justifiably so and NOBODY can fault­ us for that!!!!

  8. cameron- i was debating, Debating the dross you were­ writing, Keane walked because he was told by the money­ men that if he had to be more involved in the club,­ rather than turning up once a week for training, But­ like a 3 year old he spat his dummy and walked, Just­ like he did at Man Utd. as for hounding out, what about­ Dalglish, souness, bobby robson, Gulliet, big sam, fat­ boy shepard, and not forgetting Mr Sunderland himself­ Mike Ashley, all them in the last 10-12 years or so.­ Thats FICKLE for ya.

  11. Hey Heslop, you bit good style there mate!

    From cameron w, on Sat 4 Jul 11:06AM

  12. Heslop, we only hound out the bad ones mate; Gullit­ & Souness, as for that owner . . . . . are you­ having a laugh or what - oh, and it was that owner who­ got rid of Big Sham, NOT the fans!
    Keane did wonders­ for your club, and you all (majority at least) turned­ on him, as did your players!
    As for you muf_dvr1, -­ yes this is a forum, so instead of merely hurling­ insults, why don't you start debating you thick­ s(hit)!

    From cameron w, on Sat 4 Jul 11:04AM

  13. Would agree with Andrew Smith (Smith-Watford) &­ Marc (Ricky Lambert) both plenty of goals. Whether­ we'll win the leauge time will tell, one thing­ I'm sure about we'll be very close. Come on Roy­ lets role them tractors all over the championship and­ make my year.

  14. Keane is a good manger there's no doubt about that­ but he think's he can get what he want's and I­ don't like that.

  16. fickle fans? cameron how many managers have u lot­ hounded out and now u've hounded out ur owner if u­ hadn't kicked off when kk walked out maybe u would­ of got a decent manager and not be in the position u­ are now so if ur talking about fickle fans look no­ further than ur beloved black and white army.keano­ here's five u can sign­ gordon,nosworthy,whitehead,murphy and mcshane

  17. ps
    I think Keane will do a good job at Ipswich Town -­ he got the mackems promoted and their notoriously ­ fickle fans 'rewarded' him by hounding him out.­ . . . shocking treatment, i daresay you Ipswich fans­ will be a lot more patient!

  18. Comment hidden due to its low rating. Show

    Ipswich will NOT win the Championship - no way man!
    If­ we (Newcastle United) are sold next week (looks­ likely), we will win the division.

    From cameron w, on Fri 3 Jul 9:14PM

  19. Lets hope he buys some respectable players with the­ money that is made available to him and not a load of­ old stiffs who may only have a season or two left in­ them....Youth is the future.....
