Any move must 'be right for the club'
The Paul Parry transfer saga rumbles on today, as Graham Turner confirmed the situation.
He said that Parry is open to offers, but has not been transfer-listed and could be at Edgar Street for "several seasons to come," according to a statement on the club's official website.
On Saturday, coach Richard O'Kelly said that news of Parry's transfer listing had been blown out of all proportion, and that his name had simply been circulated around Football League clubs to alert them of his availability.
Director of football Graham Turner confirmed in today's Western Daily Press, who broke the initial news on Saturday morning, that any transfer which sees Parry leave Edgar Street would only occur if the club were to benefit.
"Paul wants to play in the Football League but it has to be right for the club," said Turner. "If he goes, we have got to replace him and we'll have to get on with it.
"But we don't want to sell players and don't want anyone to leave."
Yeovil Town has already made an offer for Parry this season, but it was considered "unacceptable", according to the statement, which added: "This is a very amicable arrangement with Paul and his agent and it is now a case of waiting to hear of any interest from other clubs."
Turner confirmed: "In the past we have been in the position where we have needed to sell players to bring in money and that isn’t the case now."
It is commendable that the club have clarified the situation swiftly and quashed rumours that Parry was set for a swift exit. Hereford United can wait for the right offer to come along, and Parry remains an integral part of the first-team set-up.
