Graydon refuses to comment on transfer speculation

Bristol Rovers manager Ray Graydon has said that he will not comment on possible signings until they are confirmed.

It is rumoured that the Division Three strugglers are tracking the Hereford duo of Paul Parry and Michael Rose but Graydon will not move on the subject.

Talking to Rovers' official website, Graydon said: "I don't ever consider myself close to signing someone, and I don't like talking about transfers until they are finalised and the player is here.

"I think that speaking about players coming here raises supporters' expectations and I would prefer that that expectation wasn't there in case things don't happen. All I will say for now though is that I am working flat out with my staff to improve the situation."

Meanwhile, Hereford boss Graham Turner could be set to make an offer to Tony Battersby, the attacker who rejected a move back in October. He has just been released by Boston United, but Hereford could face opposition from Doncaster Rovers and Chester City for his signature.
