This isn't happening. TM was asked at Nuneaton about him by a fan, he said that they approached Crawley but they quoted £250k which is out of the clubs budget and too much for a 32 year old who's not that profilic throughout his career according to someone on Facebook.

When did he suddenly get 2 years older?

He's 31 in October.

It may well be total rubbish, but things change in football. Maybe we've switched targets, maybe he said that as a red herring to keep others from talking to the player instead of there preffered targets, who knows. All I know for sure is before all of our signings this summer there's always been a large spike in people linking them with us on Facebook and Twitter, not just the usual "rumour" pages but also from a heap of journalists that I follow, this has happened over night with McLeod.

Might not happen, might happen, just reporting what I'm seeing

The Twitter account @Transfer_News43 seems to be the 'source' of the latest rumour.

The replies seem to suggested it's not a done deal and McLeod is looking at a number of clubs and after the best money -

I'm still very cautious of all this.

Lovely bout of bullshit to start the morning. Maynard is on trial at Forest, Maguire is probably on his way out of Wednesday with Bolton interested and Eagles is on trial at Preston. Regardless, all three of them have no reason to drop down a division as things stand.

But it's on Twitter and Facebook :facepalm:

From Crawley Observer -

"Reds did not include striker Izale McLeod in the squad because of illness.

There is speculation Crawley’s topscorer last season who still has a year’s contract is about to be sold to Coventry City."

Guessing the journo did a quick Twitter search lol

He had better not come to our club. We have some that think a player should be hung if they refuse to play the day before moving to another club.

Think he would have been called the Press Officer in the old days. Head of communications is his job title. CCFC Twitter man.

They played Nuneaton last night, yeah? Could be journo's putting 2+2 together there and coming up with 5?

Also, Kieran Crowley's the clubs press officer (I think). He does all the matches (keeps you up to date on "the wall" etc).

Don't rule it out just because Kieran has denied it... After all he said that the mock-up of the shirt wasn't going to be the home shirt... Turned out it was.

He could occasionally throw the odd red herring out to throw people off the scent.

Really hope it happens, would be an excellent signing, but if it was in the pipelines surely the number 9 shirt would've been saved for him?

Can't see it happening sadly, I'd guess Crawley will command a big enough fee for him and there will be other teams sniffing around that can afford to pay him more, pretty sure TM said recently he had no permanents lined up as well.... Hope I'm wrong though, easily good enough to get 15-20 goals for us next season

He's around the team and management everyday so he's probably a fairly reliable source. Of course there's nothing to say he might not always be truthful if he knows something the club doesn't want made public.

Kieran is a member here. Not sure of his username but he's made a number of comments on his Twitter feed that confirm he does frequent these parts.

We wouldn't want McLeod here at all! He'd be a terrible signing.



He's from a relegated club.

Crawley have a number of strikers on their books and a few days ago added Barnard and Deacon.

It would not suprise me to see McLeod leave.

Mowbrey did say weeks ago the difficulty was trying to prise players away from their clubs and has hinted he might use some budget on a fee. That could apply to Vincelot who has since joined.....but he hasn't rushed in the striker department. He does seem to pursue specific targets. It would not suprise me for him to sign one funded prestige striker and supplement with a couple of loans.

It seems McLeod is off somewhere whether it is to us time will tell. As for the press guy at City, I doubt he is in TMs loop on who Coventry's targets are and is more likely to be informed on done deals. A lot of contract, transfer negotiation is often done away from ground/training facilities.

I am sure many clubs have considered McLeod.

The one thing i did note was that the club put out firm denials of interest in Leon Best and in the Huddersfield lad (name escapes me) but havent done so with McLeod, despite all the rumours.

Edit: Spoke to soon.....

I'd rather have Henderson from Rochdale, but McLeod wouldn't be a bad signing. Can't see it happening though. Loan strikers from Everton and Spurs seem more likely.
