Patrick Kisnorbo's departure to Ipswich is probably the biggest news so far for Leeds fans in the January transfer window, we are frequently told not to raise our hopes by our former chairman, new owners, Peter Lorimer et al but so the news that a player many of us had forgotten about has been loaned-out for a month is par the course.

Kisnorbo, 31 has just one start to his name this term. Although he was rightfully recognised as one of our most significant performers during the League One promotion season of 2010 since then he has been blighted with injury and I was amazed we offered him another deal in the summer.

Kisnorbo will stay at Ipswich until January 29th and has been given clearance to play in their FA Cup 3rd round tie against Aston Villa. I could not help but chuckle at the tangible excitement doing the rounds on Ipswich sites at the Big Aussies arrival at Portman Road. They have signed the essential modern-day Leeds United defender, slow, clumsy and injury prone.

Bluesman added 15:13 - Jan 5 This is a little bit unfair. Paddy is a good defender. Strong, brave and experienced. He could do a job for anybody. The poor bloke has had a terrible injury and needs to recover fully and get fit. The lad is as honest as the day is long and works hard, so trying to belittle him says more about the article than the player!! Perhaps you were speaking comparably with the other defenders e.g. injured and not match fit Paddy compared to say Pearce??
