Town Receive Three Offers

Boss Roy Keane has confirmed that the club has received offers for three of their players.

The Blues manager has not revealed the identities of the players or clubs involved, but Crystal Palace boss George Burley has confirmed his interest in midfielder Owen Garvan, while Sheffield United are understood to be chasing Alex Bruce, Millwall have been linked with Kevin Lisbie and QPR have reportedly targeted skipper Jon Walters.

Keane told the club site that no bids have yet been accepted: "We have had offers coming in for some of our players.

"While I know we need players in, I'm also aware that we need to let some of our players go and negotiations are going on.

"We have not accepted any offers for our players but talks are ongoing with three clubs about three players.

"I'm fairly relaxed about it because even if we agree a fee with a club, it will be down to the player if he wants to go, but I think we are close on one or two and it could be that we have three players in next week and three moving on."

Earlier in the week, Palace were reported to have made an offer of £200,000 for Garvan, but TWTD understands that the Eagles have now bid £300,000, close to the Blues’ valuation of £400,000. Millwall manager Kenny Jackett has mentioned his interest in out-of-favour striker Kevin Lisbie on several occasions.

Sheffield United are believed to be closing in on Bruce, who would probably be allowed to leave for around £200,000. Garvan, Lisbie and Bruce were on the list of eight players circulated to other clubs earlier in the summer.

Captain Walters wasn’t on that list but reports earlier in the week claimed the Blues had rebuffed an offer of £2.5 million from QPR. That figure appears unrealistically high, but it is understood that Neil Warnock would be interested in taking Walters to Loftus Road.
