Very interesting. From a Sky Sports guy as well so seems legit. Cant see them accepting anything from us though tbh.

[Westbars Spireite]

Good player. And they'd wet their frilly knickers in disgust too. Win win.

[SatNav21]

from talk on here only bad thing ive heard about him is that he plays for them.

is his position what we need right now though?

[Westbars Spireite]

He'd take Boco's slot in our current line up.

I was wondering if this changes Boco's situation.

Or, more worryingly, has Morsy been attracting attention?

Clucas wouldnt appear, to me anyway, as a replacement for Morsy...i thought Clucas played further forward.

If Morsy was to be sold, Clucas could be the first of a number of signings.

Or we're spending what is allowed out of the Cooper money?

[Goku]

I wouldnt go trying to connect dots that arent there.

[Paul Fisher]

For a start Clucus is a left sided midfield player, so he would add competition to Gary Roberts, and as we are short of left sided midfielders and top heavy on the right side, then he fits our transfer criteria doesn't he?

[Spire-Power]

Isnt his position similar to Roberts?

Why speculate its this? Seems the fairly obvious answer we're just trying to strengthen the squad with the Cooper money.

Wild speculation is the oxygen of the messageboard

yeh, this kind of move very rarely happens and the owner is generally a bit of a chuff when it comes to us, and there was the away tickets restriction last season. Would have to be a lot of £ to persuade him, can't see it happening unless they are desperate

[Westbars Spireite]

You'd think as their only footballer he'd been keen to get away from their abysmal style of play.

Wasn't there a proposed move to Leyton Orient that fell through?

I'd find this utterly hilarious if this went through, it would make them hate us even more....brilliant.

Forest were strongly rumoured to be interested last year. Think he had a bad injury and whether that has had any lingering effects I dont know as he seems to be on the bench quite a bit, which is odd

[starsky72]

He's a left footed leftside midfield player and think I recall Orient being linked with him as well... I wonder how much he is "worth"
