Town boss Paul Jewell says the Blues have continued their pursuit of former loanee Jimmy Bullard since Saturday’s 7-1 defeat at Peterborough. Having spoken to the 32-year-old last Thursday and his agent on Friday, Jewell talked with them both again yesterday.

Jewell told the club site: "I spoke to Jimmy and his agent twice yesterday and once on Sunday with the owner about him.

"He had a meeting with QPR and there are a couple of other Premier League teams in for him but we are trying to be competitive and we are trying to bring him here.

"Jimmy is going to be very expensive but he does also want to play football, so we are trying to do something with him."

Bullard’s Hull City contract is in the process of being terminated due to an undisclosed indiscretion on a pre-season trip to Slovenia with a host of clubs including Wolves, Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton, Norwich and West Ham all linked in the last few days.

Meanwhile, Town's reserves are in action in a behind-closed-doors game against Colchester United this afternoon.

thebeat added 22:44 - Aug 23 To be honest this is doin my head in now, i would have loved to have signed Jimmy but i think if he what he said about wanting to play regularly and wanting to play for us was true he would have come to an agreement with Hull and signed for us straight after last season. The longer it has gone on the more money has come into play, thats why i dont think we'll get him, must say tho i like the look of that Suler geezer, get him signed up Jewell

thebeat added 23:06 - Aug 23 to be fair to churchmans he always seems to speak from the heart, its easy to see that as a fan he's hurting right now, as we all are, and to be honest he has a point, we are the ones watching this s**t at the moment paying our hard earned cash. I have 4 young daughters who get upset every time i leave the house to go to the match and to be honest im starting to wonder why i dont spend my Saturdays with them after working hard all week, but instead waste my time and money on a bunch of idiots who treat the shirt of my club like a piece of dirt. just because we are getting fed up of it doesnt make us a bad fan and useless to the club, churchmans is right, there is only so much cr*p one person can put up with

TractorRoyNo1 added 00:17 - Aug 24 i don't go along with the idea that bullard will not sign for town, he is a mercenary and will sign for whoever pays him the most, and as town are now really desperate it could well be us who offers him a 3 year deal at silly money a week.
