Brighton want to seal a permanent deal for ex-Bulls loan winger Joe Anyinsah. The current Preston man has played fifteen times for the club during three months on loan. The Seagulls also want to take Stuart Fleetwood on a third months loan, but may extend the deal until the end of the season. Rotherham have denied making a bid for Liam Hatch, as have Shrewsbury, as claimed by Peterboro over the weekend. Both admit asking about the player, but were turned off by the price quoted.
Peterboro defender Craig Morgan thinks the club can be a Premier League side in '3-5 years'. Former Bull Jon Brady has joined British Gas Business Southern League club Brackley Town. Stockport have acknowledged that they have a 'financial reality' and that players may be sold to balance the books. Northampton have allowed loan striker Scott McGleish to return to Wycombe after opting not to extend the deal.
Cheltenham have signed Peterboro defender Chris Westwood and Wigan midfielder Lewis Montrose on a months loan each. Westwood has been out of the first team picture recently at London Road, while Montrose played seven times for the Robins in an earlier loan spell. Weymouth have signed Rushden striker Lee Phillips.
Carlisle have extended the loan of Sunderland defender Michael Liddle for another month. Chester still haven't paid the outstanding sums for sacked striker Paul Taylor. Vauxhall Motors say they've received no contact despite several letters from the FA. Oldham have released defender John Thompson. The former Nottm Forest man played only 11 times in 18 months for the Latics and was out of contract in the summer.
Rochdale have opened merger talks with their rugby playing counterparts who share their Spotland home. The Rochdale Hornets RFL side have a winding up order to be heard over a £55,000 debt with HMRC in nine days. Colchester have had a six figure bid for Wycombe defender Mike Williamson refused by the Chairboys. Leicester have extended the contract of veteran Chris Powell until the end of the season.
Crewe have loaned striker Anthony Elding to Lincoln for three months. The former Stevenage striker has scored just three times since a summer move from Leeds. Brighton are giving a trial to Coventry midfielder Chris Birchall. He was due to go to US soccer after ending a spell at Carlisle.
