  ..Rumour round up (21/03/01)  
 


After the signing of Lee Marshall many of the news services are full of who City will sign next even though the transfer deadline is now just hours away.

The BBC are reporting that Wigan boss Colin Greenall has said that goalkeeper Roy Carroll will not be leaving to join City in the summer.

Carroll was the subject of speculation just two days ago but boss Greenall said, "There will always be people linked with moving away.

"I only know that if people make offers I'm not going to say I want to get rid of anybody.

"I haven't heard anything about Roy and as far as I'm concerned nothing is happening.

So no £2 Million move for Carroll but what about others?

Teamtalk quotes City's football coordinator Colin Murphy as saying, "I have always thought that dashing around before the transfer deadline is sheer folly.

"The decision to bring Lee Marshall to the club was a measured one and it was not a panic buy, even though it took place on the eve of the deadline.

"There are one or two other possibilities which are again calculated because we have been looking at the players concerned for a period of time. If we find someone who will be a valuable asset to the team then we will go ahead and do what we can to bring that player in."

So who could they be? What about Man Utd's Jonathan Greening? He has been put on the transfer list at Old Trafford and newspaper reports reported that he was a possible City target a few months back.

He wants first team opportunities and Middassoccer.com reckon that he could get them at City.

Greening cost Man Utd £1million when they brought him from York a couple of years ago and is already know to Peter Taylor who used to be his boss at Under 21 level, where he is at the moment.

Middas though insist that time is running out and that City may not be able to sign him intime for Deadline day which would make him another one of those "summer" transfers that we are hearing so much about lately!
