If there is any truth in this, though, it's another sign that we are looking to buy the kind of player that was out of our reach until relatively recently....
No truth in it whatsoever, we have 6 strikers already, even with Sodje leaving we got 5 very different strikers and Tuna to come in too, not to mention Waggy who has proved he can play a support striker role. We'll be looking to get in a left sided CB who can play LB, and a JJ clone, but for the right hand side of the pitch, to offer a bit more competition to Waggy and Franny
I think that there should be a separate thread for all the suggestions that comes off football rumours. A legitimate rumour thread, maybe for the transfer window in the summer.
I will never again add a football rumour 'rumour' to a transfer gossip thread on CL.
Clearly we want a cb and rb then if he's had tenches and lamey on loan. Shame because I think we need a right mid now Martin has left. Leaves us with wagstaff

McCormack has shown he can do a job there, Eccleston has also played as a winger
We don't need a new right back (Solly & Francis can play there) or a new specialist right midfielder (Wagstaff, McCormack, Eccleston and Anyinsah can play there). What we need is to sign a solid left back and to secure Matt Fry's loan until the end of the season, using him primarily as a centre back. I'd also be looking to sign a creative attacking midfielder in the mould of Andy Reid that can play across the midfield if need be (I know we'll be hard pushed to find one).
I'd personally be looking to bring back Borrowdale, and nick Marc Pugh from Bournemouth.
Does that mean you'd move Fry into the centre Callum?
I'm not picking, I'm just interested. I've seen a lot of people wanting a CB and a lot say we could have a new LB and Fry could be our "new" CB in effect. I'm undecided myself. All I know is that we will need some pace at CB to stand any chance of going up.
And yes that CM you mention would be brilliant but I can't see it happening really, I think Powell thinks he has enough in Semedo/Racon/McCormack/Jackson. Gut feeling is the one or two that come in will be defenders.
Would love Marc Pugh and think he would've come if we'd nicked Howe but think there's bob hope and no hope of him coming - Danny Green or Nicky Law maybe? Problem is one is on a ban the other is playing league two football. Hope the scouts have got more ideas than us!
Anything in this ? I know this has been banded around the forum a bit in the last few weeks, but can't fathom out if my mates behind the times or up with it ?
Just heard that we have allegedly signed an Argentina left back on loan from Leeds united for the rest of this season, was from an agent I met at football Sunday. I believe he was at Barcelona once although I cannot say for sure if true.
I did say allegedly, the agent in question come over to me as I play with him Sunday at footie, if he is lying I will happily call him a mug next weekend.

The 21-year-old has been given permission by Iron manager Ian Barraclough to leave the club and it seems a summer departure is likely.
Wright is being chased by some Championship sides and a few sides in League One have also expressed an interest.
"I feel my time is done at Scunthorpe, I've absolutely loved it here, the staff and the fans are great to me," he told the club's official website.
Would he come back???
I doubt it. He'd be in a similar situation to last time - having to compete for his place. He didn't fancy it last time, doubt he would this time.
Looked better than left back.
Get a career left back in the team for a better balance.

Gave away a penalty when he got done for pace if I remember rightly. Not the answer IMHO.
Much rather see us bring in an out an out CB. Younger player with a bit of mobility.
Appears to have had his injury problems but at the end of the day you don't play in the third division without a reason!
Will be the lowest level he's played at so should be a good acquisition if this comes off.
sorry, i didnt mean to insult you, its just that im getting sick of people making up untrue rumours, not that yours is untrue.
you will get to learn that there are some people on here you can trust and Ketman is one of them.
