Four the magic number for Keane as Town boss plays a waiting game

"We are looking at maybe four additions and the owner and chief executive are working hard to try and achieve that but it takes time," said the Town chief this weekend. "It's a case of quality rather than quantity - I'll be happy if I get the four players I want but it's a big if and we are certainly not going to spend over what we consider to be the right valuation for the players."

"These reports are pie in the sky and, besides, I don't see any reason why I would want to move," said reported Town target Higginbotham. "I played 30 games last season in the best league in the world, and we finished 12th. Now I want to be part of the club's success for the next few years."

"It’s going to be difficult, especially with the teams that are coming down from the Premiership – they will be looking to bounce straight back – but with the group I’ve got, and if I can add one or two new faces, or five or six, we like to think that with a good pre-season under our belts we’ll be in the mix," Keane promised. "Some important players are injured at the moment but hopefully we’ll be fighting among the top six."
