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.

ITFCforlife added 18:49 - Apr 30 Good news. George Boyd has been transfer listed so hopefully he will be up cheaper (even though we dont really need him) and Joe Lewis is leaving Peterborough so maybe sign him

Crazee added 19:14 - Apr 30 Here we go again! Someone please wake me up when we have actually SIGNED someone - I am so fed up with all this speculation. I don't suppose we'll get any of the mentioned names anyway.

RYITFC added 19:19 - Apr 30 We need to buy better than what we have already or at least give us something different than we have already. I.e if we are going to get a midfielder height,pace, ability to break up play. Please no.

Urchin added 19:31 - Apr 30 Sindre94-Never seen him. Cant really comment Begs the question... So why did you.?.:) I usually find your comments worthy of reading and your arguments well constructed. I have a feeling that if you comment on every player we are linked with this season you are never going to be off the site ! IMHO we need to start again at the back and would like to see the first signing bei no1 keeper . That said I sort of agree with others about "wake me up when we have signed someone"

Steelmonkey added 20:10 - Apr 30 PJ please just concentrate on getting the B****y defence sorted out first, like you should have at the start of this season. That way you will not need to keep shaking your head every time one of our defenders touches the ball. Don't make the same silly mistake again next season! Concentrate - defenders - defenders - defenders.

Steelmonkey added 20:14 - Apr 30 Also find it totally amazing that Leeds can virtually sign and seal a deal on a centre half so quickly as the season has only just finished. Perhaps ME should put Clegg out on loan to them to see how it's done.

tractorboy2434 added 20:40 - Apr 30 Anybody who has seen Lewis play would know he is not the answer, got dropped at Posh due to the number of goals he cost them, really unreliable

planetblue_2011 added 23:24 - Apr 30 We have better midfield players than Marney surely? Hyam, Drury for me! We need a decent keeper and a couple of centre backs & full back cover. Or give ainsley more of a run next season. Maybe a striker & a winger. Would like to see murphy stay he's up for it!!

Michael11 added 00:41 - May 1 Poor player! definately agree we should go for Boyd at Peterborough and maybe Joe Lewis the keeper too!

airliner added 05:51 - May 1 Tall centre forward required For chops to play off along with JS as back up. Sell Delaney on and get better at LB,CB etc and then we will be a force to reckon with next season. lets not let the summer go by and have to take 2nd best again Marcus!
