Striker Tamás Priskin has turned down the chance to join League One Charlton on loan. The Hungarian has struggled to win a first team place since joining the Blues from Watford for £1.7 million in the summer, scoring only two goals in nine starts and seven sub appearances.
Last week the 23-year-old said that he was determined to stay with Town and prove himself and knew nothing of reports that he was set to be sold to fund the Blues' January signings: "I’ve only seen this in the press and if it’s up to me, I'm not going anywhere.”
Boss Roy Keane has already sent fellow fringe players Colin Healy, Liam Trotter and Tommy Smith out on loan to Falkirk, Millwall and Brentford respectively in order for them to play competitive games and the club are willing to allow other non-regulars to make similar moves.
Priskin, who has been capped 24 times by Hungary, scoring seven goals, is contracted to the Blues until June 2012.

Seems like a decent player especially at our current level (which is really low and the lowest for years before Ooah Aargh reminds us again).
Yes, but maybe more about Keane than Priskin.
Theres a "Trotter" at Millwall ?
I was in the Watford home end that day and was sat directly in line with Lisbie when he missed it. Could've throttled him.
Phew! That's a relief ........ at least there's one.
;o)
Does he not know we are 3rd in League One?
Lack of ambition on his part.
we already have burton, mooney,dickson. mackenzie, tuna without counting Sodje (whom I don't believe will stay)
we DO need a left winger and a central defender
Dickson - only just back, wasn't in favour before, not exactly in form, will go if we get an offer
Mooney - generally works hard but will never score enough goals imo
MacKenzie - has never been fit for more than one game at a time whilst with us and so can't be relied on
Tuna - about to join Staines Town on loan, good prospect, nowhere near ready yet
so we are left with Burton.
..........
Burton - carrying a hernia injury.
McKenzie - not fully fit, can only be used off the bench.
Dickson - impact player, coming off the bench.
Mooney - only on a 28 day extended loan and still returning from injury.
Tuna - one for the future.
Sodje - only here on a short term loan and like Mooney the decision could be out of our hands if his club want him back.
In conclusion if a decent striker is available we shouldn't be too sniffy. I see that Benitez is hinting that Torres might leave Liverpool...
