Silly Season Gossip

Rumours are rife in Whippet Country that aging and released Barnet and former Stevenage striker Giuliano Grazioli is to join Accrington. Initial talks are reported to have already been held, and the player is expected to link up with Accrington for Pre-Season training in July.

Former Shrewsbury keeper Joe Hart's call-up to the senior England squad could earn the "Park and Ride" club £500,000.

Millwall's reported attempt to sign Cardiff 'keeper David Forde has failed due to the player turning down the move.

Northampton Town manager, Stuart Gray, is said to have offered a new deal to former Swansea striker Adebayo Afinfenwa in a move to keep him at The Cobblers. The heavyweight forward is set to undergo yet more surgery in the summer to remove a rod from his leg following the injury he suffered as a Swansea player last season.

Poul Hubertz could be in line for a shock move to Leyton Orient after leaving Northampton Town. The 6' 5" striker left Sixfields at the end of the season and was widely expected to return to his native Denmark. But Orient manager Martin Ling has confirmed he is interested in signing Hubertz, who finished top scorer at Sixfields with 13 goals after joining the club from Millwall.


Striker Gary Mulligan is keen to leave Gillingham in the wake of the club's relegation to League Two. The Gills took up the option of extending Mulligan's contract at Priestfield by a further 12 months last week, but he has now told manager Mark Stimson he is keen to move on. Boss Stimson has no problem with the five-goal striker's ambition to remain in League One and has told interested parties to get in touch.


Swansea City boss Roberto Martinez has told Andy Robinson to sign up or leave this summer. The midfielder's contract expires next month but talks over a new deal have stalled, putting Robinson's future at the club firmly in doubt. Martinez has implemented a wage structure at the club and the deal on offer will not be improved. Therefore it's simple, sign the contract on offer or move on. Other players offered deals but yet to put pen to paper are Dennis Lawrence, Garry Monk, Kevin Austin and Kristian O'Leary.
