Transfer rumour round-up - January 15th

As posted earlier, we have taken Italian Francesco Coco on trial, and he could be followed by Sevilla forward Kepa Blanco Gonzalez who is expected to join this week in a loan move until the end of the season. Currently not a regular, he has nevertheless scored six goals in eight starts this season and will provide another option to our hardly firing strike force.

One player not joining is Shaun Wright-Phillips who Stuart Pearce has conceded defeat with as in his words he concedes "We have been quoted a price that is a million miles away from our budget. That is the end of it really".

As I have said before, we were never seriously in the running for Wright-Phillips and if one good thing comes of this, it maybe that speculation regarding the departure of Micah Richards is finally put to bed.

vote it up!
