Burley Confirms Knavs Internest Mon 11th Sep 2000 13:10
Town manager George Burley has confirmed the Blues interest in Slovenian defender Aleksander Knavs. The figure now being quoted is £2 million for the Tirol Innsbruck player. Knavs is primarily a left sided centre-half, although he has played at left back in the past. |
Knavs the Man Mon 11th Sep 2000 11:21
It seems the left-sided defender reported as likely to sign for Town this week is Slovenian international Aleksander Knavs. The Tirol Innsbruck player is 28 years old and played for Slovenia during Euro 2000, coming on as a sub in the 0-0 draw with Norway. He has 23 international caps and is likely to cost Town around the £1.5 million mark. Previously he had interested Leeds, however at the time there was a problem with him getting a work permit. Whether this will affect Town is something that will become evident should the deal go ahead. |
Holland to Miss Out Mon 11th Sep 2000 10:55
Skipper Matt Holland is again feeling the effects of his sore ankle after Saturday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa and will today have a scan. The Town skipper, who many fans feel has been severely hampered by his injury in recent games, said: "It is still swollen and I'm not able to train between games which is not good. I feel I'm losing my sharpness so I will see how the scan goes and take time to treat the ankle properly, even if that means missing a game." |
