Constable Set For Departure?

After months of speculation, and denials from the player last week, Oxford striker James Constable is on the verge of a move to Swindon.

BBC Oxfordshire has confirmed that the U's have accepted a bid from the Robins for the 27 year old, with his participation in the Bulls trip to the Kassam Stadium now in doubt. The BBC also report that the player has not trained with the U's for the past two days.

The former Shrewsbury striker has averaged nearly a goal every other game for the U's since joining them, initially on loan, in the summer of 2008. He isn't the only piece of transfer activity by Swindon today, with Paolo Di Canio resigning fellow striker Ronan Murray on loan for the rest of the season after the 21 year old agreed a new Ipswich contract for next season.
