Conway Only Link On Quiet Sunday Sunday, 22nd May 2011 14:45
Out-of-contract Dundee United winger Craig Conway appears to be the only name linked with Town in today’s papers. A Scottish report claims SPL giants Rangers are set to make an offer to the 26-year-old, who was previously mentioned in connection with the Blues in March and is already said to have been approached by Crystal Palace and Watford.
It's believed that Town are yet to firm up their interest in Irvine-born Conway, who started his career at Ayr United. He made his senior debut in the 2003 season before going on to make 56 starts and 17 sub appearances for the Somerset Park club, scoring nine goals.
The 5ft 6in tall wideman moved on to Dundee United at the end of his contract in June 2006 and has subsequently made 133 starts and 32 appearances from the bench, scoring 16 goals, including two in last season’s 3-0 Scottish Cup final victory over Ross County.
Primarily right-sided but happy on either flank, Conway, who has won two full Scotland caps, appears certain to leave Dundee United this summer. The Blues have also been linked with Terrors striker David Goodwillie.
Elsewhere, Hull City are claimed to have pulled out of the race to sign exiting Town skipper David Norris on a free transfer this summer as they believe Portsmouth have already secured the 30-year-old’s signature.
The Tigers were understood to be amongst the favourites to land the midfielder along with Nottingham Forest and Leeds with Portsmouth believed to be more of an outside bet along with Crystal Palace, despite those two clubs having targeted the former Plymouth man since January.
Meanwhile, former Town loanee Gianni Zuiverloon has confirmed that he'll be leaving West Brom this summer in order to play first team football more regularly.

For once I hope the speculation is correct. Watched several SPL games on tele to see what all the hiatus was about Goodwillie and thought Conway outshone him every time. Hardworker up and down the wing and a good crosser who is prepared to have a go at goal.
I understand us having not signed players for whom we have to agree transfer fees, but I hope it isn't too long before we can sign some of these out-of-contract players who we are linked with. I don't want us beaten to it like last summer and probably the last couple of summers before that. We always seem to make over-priced late signings, but when was the last time we got a really good free transfer?
what the hell are you on about?! seriously.. why would josh carson go out on loan, he's brought so much more pace to the team, and paul jewell knows that!
hes a very good player in not a very good league, but if other championship clubs are after him , then he must be good enough for this level at least. Im guessing hes going on the left wing-so civelli must be on his way, the unlucky sod, as we dont need all of these wingers
to be more specific Wadz we need someone full stop ! But right now its a case of everyone likely to being moved anywhere is ''linked'' with Town,right down to Uncle Tom Cobbly,
Conway is right footed, but plays on the left wing if Football Manager is to be believed. What happened to the days when left wingers were left footed?
