Despite the strong rumours does it look like he will stay down south?. If he does I think we have missed a good player according to Carlisle supporters. Can play right back or centre half - just what we need!!

Colchester United boss John Ward has played down suggestions he is looking to sign Carlisle United defender Richard Keogh.
The 23-year-old is set to leave Carlisle after rejecting a new contract and he has been linked with a reunion with Ward (http://topics.skysports.com/John+Ward/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif at Colchester.
Ward signed Keogh (http://topics.skysports.com/Richard+Keogh/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif from Bristol City (http://topics.skysports.com/Bristol+City/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif during his time as Carlisle boss and is looking to put his own stamp on the Colchester squad after replacing Aidy Boothroyd (http://topics.skysports.com/Aidy+Boothroyd/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif as manager.
However, he admits he is currently not planning to make a bid for Keogh as his priority is to bring in a midfielder.
"I know Richard very well having had him as a player when I was manager at Carlisle, but at the moment I don't think we will see him coming here," said Ward in the News & Star.
"He's a defender and we have got defenders. We've good full-backs and centre-backs and our priority is elsewhere in midfield."
Keogh has also been linked with Bristol Rovers (http://topics.skysports.com/Bristol+Rovers/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif as he weighs up his future after turning down the two-year deal that was on offer at Brunton Park.

Bit disappointed about this one TBH. Never saw him play but sounded like he had good intangibles about him.

A media rumour doesn't mean he was ever a Hibs target.

would also imagine that yogi will have several different options for each position he wants to fill and as you say this was just hear say.

Fighting a relegation battle every season in the second tier of English football, or challenging for Europe in Scotland's top division and a decent chance of winning some silverwear?

It's not ambition he's got, he's following the money.

He will be testing himself at a higher level by playing in that division, playing in front of bigger crowds (parkhead and Ibrox are the exceptions) and more likely to get a move to a bigger/better championship club (or even EPL if doing exceptionally well) by performing in the championship.

No doubt money came into it as well but the SPL and Hibs are not a great incentive for players down south when Championship clubs come calling (unfortunately for us). One game in Europe maybe two every couple of years and a cup run won't dissuade them.

I thought CC were in deep doo doo money wise. Nearly in as bad debt as the yams but still able to pay a lot more than us..... Shame really cos from what I have read he was a no bad defender.

If I was English and didn't support Hibs I would do the same. The Championship witnesses teams fighting relegation one year and winning promotion to the best league in the world the next. Lack if ambition you say? :hmmm:
