Scales Linked With Town Tue 27th Jun 2000 11:21
Tottenham defender John Scales is being linked with a move to Town. The 33-year-old is also reportedly being tracked by Portsmouth, but a move to another Premiership side would certainly be attractive to a player who has suffered from injuries and a lack of first team football since his move from Liverpool. He has made just forty appearances for the White Hart Lane club and is available on a Bosman. Town may look to Scales to add Premiership experience to the defence. |

Keegan Speaks Out on Wright Tue 28th Mar 2000 13:37
England manager Kevin Keegan has told Richard Wright that he must be playing Premiership football next season if he is to take his England career any further. Keegan was speaking prior to the England U21s play-off with Yugoslavia tomorrow in Barcelona (KO 6pm) which Wright is likely to start. If Town fail to win promotion Wright is now almost guaranteed to leave Portman Road in the close season with his price-tag the only question left to be answered. Over the years virtually all the top clubs have been rumoured to have an interest in Wright, who made his debut back in Town's days in the Premiership. Town have also been linked with keepers this season, most notably Shay Given, others mantioned include Barnet's Lee Harrison. Wright, who hopes to be part of the full squad for the European Championships in the summer, will have one year left on his current Town contract at the end of this season and Town will want to cash-in prior to his being available on a possible Bosman at the end of the 2001/2 season. |
