The transfer rumour mill is in full swing again with City linked to a possible move for Walsall winger Darren Wrack.

The 29-year-old former Derby, Grimsby and Shrewsbury player has been the subject of much interest from League One clubs but he missed a lot of last season through injury.

Despite one internet site claiming the Wrack signing is imminent, City club secretary Jon Pollard joked: "I haven't heard that one before!"

Manager Colin Todd has got used to reading about new City targets on the scores of soccer internet sites, official and unofficial.

In some cases, like Derby's Brazilian striker Junior, he is even said to have held contract talks. City have declined to confirm whether that is true.

Certainly Todd has admitted chasing Newcastle United's Michael Chopra, former Celtic player Bobby Petta and former Brentford midfielder Stephen Hunt, who flew into Leeds-Bradford Airport for a medical on Thursday - and then flew out again, preferring to sign instead for Steve Coppell's Championship side Reading.

But it is doubtful the City boss has lost a lot of sleep over many of the reported targets, which include John Oster, Danny Cadamarteri, Julian Joachim, Michael Boulding, Michael Bridges and Lincoln's Richard Butcher.

Todd now says he may switch his attentions to a loan signing for next season.

"We might have to pursue

someone from the Premiership for a year," he admitted. "But that shows the calibre of people we are trying to bring in."
