TWTD understands that Doncaster Rovers have renewed their interest in former Blues midfielder Alan Quinn. The 32-year-old was released at the end of the season, a groin injury having prevented him from playing a single first team game during 2010/11.

The Dubliner was close to joining Sean O’Driscoll’s club a year ago until he picked up what initially seemed only a minor niggle in the pre-season game at Leiston.

Quinn, who previously played in South Yorkshire with both Sheffield clubs, was back at Playford Road last week joining Paul Jewell's squad for pre-season training.

The former Irish international signed for Town from Sheffield United for £400,000 in January 2008.

BlueBadger added 11:28 - Jul 9 There's a lot of people on here don't understand how transfers work. Quinn is out of contract, and as such, not our player. We won't be getting any fees or exchanges out of this..

Daleyitfc added 14:11 - Jul 9 Why are several people suggesting some sort of 'deal' to get other players in? He is out of contract and a free agent : he is simply training with us to get fit, though personally, if he IS fit, I'd give him a new 1-year contract and stick him in the team. I realise that most people on here will disagree, on the grounds that he has never viciously assaulted any Asians ....

TractorBeezer added 16:34 - Jul 9 To be honest I haven't seen him play much but the pass that sticks in my mind was away against QPR a couple of years ago. Quinn hit a magnificent long diagonal ball from left to right to Walters which he ran on to, controlled with one touch and smacked it into the net. I wish him well.

suffolkpunchdrunk added 17:00 - Jul 9 Is this really the most exciting ITFC news swirling around in the ether at the moment? We want outlandish rumour and a few more 'links' with ex premier league players who still think they deserve premier league wages. Where's the call to PJ to get that Faris Haroun fella, or whatever his name is, in, it must be a least 24 hours since I saw a post about him! Someone give us a rumour to get excited about!

Knoxvilleblue added 17:17 - Jul 9 "Quinn, who previously played in South Yorkshire with both Sheffield clubs, was back at Playford Road last week joining Paul Jewell's squad for pre-season training." So has he been released or not?

bedsitfc added 19:22 - Jul 9 maybe if he is over the injury we should offer him a six month contract

Infineteregress added 19:26 - Jul 9 Ok, ok I'd forgotten that we'd released Quinny. Shame as Donny are clearly keen and a player exchange might have helped shave a few million off of Sharp's asking price. Let's hope we're never in the position of having masses of out of contract players again!
