Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane wants to see Jonathan Walters complete his move to Stoke City.
Keane is eager to sell Walters after disciplining the wantaway forward and stripping him of the captaincy before Saturday's 1-1 npower Championship draw against Burnley.
"Jon was due to play but I spoke to him on Friday and I've been thinking about the captaincy." said Keane.
"For a player with a clear desire to leave, I don't think it's right he should be captain. I thought it was a straightforward one.
"Jon's reaction was unbelievably overboard.
"He's been disciplined and as long as I'm manager of this football club he'll never kick a ball for us.
"We hope a deal can be done quickly but until we get the fee we want it'll drag on a bit longer."
