Derby County boss Nigel Clough may have gone cool on Aussie defender Patrick Kisnorbo just as a deal seemed set to be signed.Kisnorbo, who was released by Leicester City recently, impressed in a trial last week with the Rams but following Derby's move to sign another centre-back, Shaun Barker, it is believed Clough may have lost interest in the Aussie.
"We have had a brief chat with Patrick about next season," said Clough. "He has had a few offers from other clubs and it is just with Shaun Barker coming in, can we pursue that one?
"But we have been very impressed with Patrick and what he has done so far."
Speaking about central defensive options, Clough added: "We have four, and that's why we are considering whether we really need Patrick or do we dip into the loan market if we need to.
"We think over 60 games, we will probably need a fifth centre-half."
It is also known Crystal Palace are interested in Kisnorbo's services, despite boss Neil Warnock recently claiming they'd lost the race against the Rams for the ex-Hearts man's signature.
