Crystal Palace manager George Burley says there’s still work to do before Pablo Couñago’s loan move to Selhurst Park is completed. The Spaniard is out of favour at Portman Road having fallen out with boss Roy Keane.

Former Town manager Burley says the clubs have been in talks regarding the 31-year-old’s switch: "We have spoken to Ipswich about him but there is nothing settled at the moment. It would be a loan basis for the rest of the season, but we still have got to finalise that.

"There have been too many deals that have fallen through at the last minute in the last couple of months so I never count my chickens until they have actually hatched."

Couñago, who was first brought to Town by Burley in 2001, is out of contract at Portman Road at the end of the season.

Even if the deal goes through before the weekend, Couñago is unlikely to play against Town on Saturday.
