Town are again being linked with Burnley midfielder Dean Marney with Brighton and Hove Albion and others clubs also said to be eyeing the 28-year-old former Spurs man. TWTD revealed that the Blues were interested in the Londoner a year ago with Town also mentioned in connection with the former England U21 international in January.

Marney started his career with Tottenham, during which time he went out on loan to Swindon, QPR, Gillingham and Norwich.

Having made only four starts and seven sub appearances for Spurs, scoring two goals, both in a 5-2 victory over Everton, the Barking-born player joined Hull City in July 2006 for an undisclosed fee believed to be around the £1 million mark.

After four years, 111 starts, 27 games from the bench, nine goals and a promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs, 6ft tall Marney left the Tigers for Burnley for a fee reported to be around £500,000 in May 2010.

Since then Marney, whose contract is up next summer, has made 71 starts and 10 sub appearances for the Lancastrians, scoring three times, and was a regular in the Clarets side during 2011/12.

Garv added 16:27 - Apr 30 I'm split over McCann. Think he's a quality player and would make a good play-maker and set piece specialist , but his age may well us off. At 32 how many years at this level has he got left? Not sure what his fitness/injury record is. Could be worth a risk, but can we afford many more risks? Can't say I know anything about Marney. Heard he's impressed towards the end of the season but had done little else before that?

weddings added 16:36 - Apr 30 No Thank You......He would be a waist of time no better than what we have got. Peterbough have put George Boyde on the transfer list he would do us fine...

geography26 added 16:58 - Apr 30 No thankyou Lewis, Boyd and Taylor from Peterborough please

Bobby_Petta added 17:05 - Apr 30 No thanks, average, would rather have George Boyd of Peterborough, decent player and is creative reminds me of a younger Jimmy Bullard!

saffronblue added 17:07 - Apr 30 I thought we had an excellent pairing in Hyam and Drury, with Bullard, Carson and Stevenson as back up. If Lawrence can come through the ranks as well I think the centre is looking strong. More worried about full back, centre half, left wing and keeper. A big lump up front would be handy to. Jewel, put down that pie and sort it out, theres a good lad.

Tractorog added 17:14 - Apr 30 Oh the joy of summer speculation... wake me up when we sign someone.

chopschipsallin added 17:28 - Apr 30 He's ex norwich WTF cant have him COYB

Mark added 17:49 - Apr 30 Let's start by looking at players whose contracts are up this summer, and snap up the free transfers before they go elsewhere. By free transfers, ideally I mean players under 30 whose clubs want to keep them but who are deciding to move on.

radiogaga added 17:54 - Apr 30 jabberjackson - really??? Bold statement, never heard that one. Maybe you can show us all the link to prove it. Chopschipsallin - What about David Wright? Joe Royle??? As for the player himself, I have always thought he is a decent player, but would him and Drury be too similar...

bringbackthedutch added 18:05 - Apr 30 Why, why, why! Let's hope it's a smoke screen! FFS GET BOYD! Talented, best years ahead, can score, not another typical clogger.
