'It's obvious he's going back to Ipswich and I think they will play him. That's great for Kieffer. He came here to prove a point and to get himself in the team. I still think his future could lie here and when he does go back I'll thank him for his efforts and tell him I hope to see him really soon."
"We are doing everything possible we can to replace him and the staff are now watching a game each a day looking at a certain striker we want. But they are big shoes to fill and it's a big ask."
“Getting in a striker, with big shoes to fill, is a tall ask.Getting a striker in the summer is easier, you can get players on a season-long loan or ones who have run out of enthusiasm at their clubs or players out of contract and they are easy to pick up."
“But in January, if you are a striker who can walk straight and chew gum, then clubs will keep hold of them. Strikers are the hardest to prize away and overpriced. About a month ago I had 12 people I was targeting, now I am down to about eight, so I am hopeful that the two or three we bring in are right for the club.”
