Town are the name being touted. |
Signing Possibly Next Week Sat 09th Jun 2001 12:22 Town boss George Burley has said that a new midfielder could be on their way to Portman Road, possibly by the middle of next week. The identity remains a mystery but several names immediately spring to mind as possibilities. It is not thought this player is the Third Division youngster targeted last week. |
Burley Refutes Tomasson Link Fri 08th Jun 2001 10:26 George Burley has said he is not after Feyenoord's Danish attacking midfielder Jon Dahl Tomasson. However, he did admit he was watching the Danish side playing in Copenhagen on Wednesday, so it does seem one Dane or other was interesting him. The Town boss, though said he was not going to take this interest any further at present. |
Tomasson Target Thu 07th Jun 2001 12:30 As reported in a number of places yesterday George Burley was in Copenhagen last night to watch Denmark beat Malta 2-1.

Nygaard the Man Sat 02nd Jun 2001 14:52 Further information suggests that contrary to earlier reports Marc Nygaard is in fact an attacking midfielder and not a striker. Sources had suggested to TWTD earlier in the week that George Burley was targeting a player from the continent and Nygaard seems to be just the kind of player George Burley would target. |
Stewart Not Called Up Sun 20th May 2001 20:06 Marcus Stewart has not been included in Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad for the friendly with Mexico. The striker was thought to be the most likely Town player to be involved with Richard Wright off for an operation tomorrow. |
