OK, this isn't 'new' news, but I have heard from a very good source/sauce that we have made enquiries about a Championship centre back. Not going to be a deal, but it does show we are still looking and that we are being quite ambitious.

Won't name names of course, but Hans Kraay Fan Club knows it is a credible source.

Sorry. I'm just making the point that it's encouraging that we are clearly still actively looking and looking at a decent level. Imagine we have lots of irons in fires.

TRHK, I'm slightly confused. Are you saying we made an enquiry about a championship level defender but got rebuffed? If so, how serious an enquiry was it? Was it something mentioned in passing or something more solid(e.g the cb is available but not at a price we can afford)?

We missed the boat when we missed out on Darren Moore on a free from Barnsley, he would have been an absolute colossus at the back for us.

:nono:

To be fair TRHK isnt one for bullshit so I believe him.

And yes this is good news. Shows we are still looking to strengthen the defence.

Does this show the Greer deal is dead now?

Dont think so.... we all know about Greer so TRHK wouldnt have put this up... sounds like he's talking of someone else.... and it wouldnt be good news... it would be bad news.

I don't know anything about the Greer deal. However, even if we were talking to him I would assume it would be good management for us to explore other options should the Greer deal fall through.

I beleive Greer will still come, were covering our options and just letting Swindon know we are not going to be taken for a ride.

to be honest if we are not looking for a decent centre back, then we are preparing to fail again
