Leeds midfielder Paul Green is reported to be in talks with the Blues regarding a loan move. Republic of Ireland international Green is out of favour at Elland Road and hasn’t played a first team game for the Whites since October.

Green, 30, was previously linked with the Blues during Paul Jewell’s time as boss, the former Town manager having signed him during his spell at Derby.

Pontefract-born Green started his career with Doncaster Rovers, joined Derby on a free transfer in the summer of 2008 and then moved on to Leeds in June 2012, signing a two-year deal. He has been capped 20 times by Ireland, scoring once.

Green, who is 5ft 9in tall, has made 42 starts and four sub appearances during his time with Leeds, scoring four goals, one in last season's 2-0 defeat of the Blues at Elland Road. He suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty in November but returned to training earlier in the month.

Town manager Mick McCarthy is keen to get Anthony Wordsworth out on loan to play games, but with Luke Hyam sidelined with a gashed leg, has said he would be unable to do so unless he brought someone in.

itfc94 added 11:19 - Jan 30 This guy is awful. My friend is a derby fan and has always rated him as one of the worst players he's seen. No better than what we have, surely we can do better being in a position like we are?

luke_38 added 11:32 - Jan 30 A lot of people on twitter all say he can run for days but his passing is very average. No different to Hyam so should just be to bolster the squad

Lightningboy added 11:39 - Jan 30 A busy little player but can't say i'm that excited by this deal.

WorcesterBlue added 11:39 - Jan 30 I know the thought mafia on here insist we only say positive things about prospective signings but I have to agree this is a pretty uninspiring signing at best. It is plain to see that we need a decent creative midfielder who can set and up and score chances whereas Green is more of the same....surely Frimpong is a better shout?

irishtim added 11:41 - Jan 30 Please god no. Seen him play with the Republic. He is poor. Not a creative player. Skip this one please Mick. 1st time doubting MM but for me this is a no no.

stevelincsexile added 11:42 - Jan 30 I see Ed Upson could be on his way to Burnley for a 100K another good youngster we let go and a midfielder as well we have thrown away so much good talent.

Popeye added 11:50 - Jan 30 Trotter is in the last 6 months of his contract at Millwall just a thought!

superblueom added 11:52 - Jan 30 Ed Upson has been one of yovils main players this season I'm sure if we went in for him he'd prefer a move back here that to burnley

nutter added 11:58 - Jan 30 popeye. i thought trotter was treated appalingly by the fans while he was here and if i was him i wouldn't be rushing back. good player though and i hope i'm wrong

TimmyH added 12:05 - Jan 30 No thanks, totally uninspiring.

ashleylewis10 added 12:09 - Jan 30 MM bases his teams on a hard work ethic and it case you haven;t noticed this has worked out pretty nicely for us since he came here. Green would fit perfectly into that ethos. He is also an option wide right if we need him, I can;t see any problems with this deal whatsoever

theobald1985 added 12:12 - Jan 30 hardly one to get the pulse racing-would be a typical mick sort of signing tho mick said the other week something like to play here you need to have a high workrate-and if you can play a bit with the ball thats a bonus. he gets us decent enough results but that attitude and the style of play are not really very inspiring--nor is this link

meekreech added 12:33 - Jan 30 In the modern era RESULTS count above style ! That is the problem with the football now as getting results is all that matters because they bring promotion and money ! Style is a non profit making side line which is nice if it can get results but is sacrificed to get the necessary results .
