U's in talks to extend Healey's loan deal
Wed 10th Dec 2014
Negotiations - Colchester United want to keep loanee Rhys Healey for longer following his impressive form.
by Jonathan Waldron
Colchester United are in talks with FA Cup opponents Cardiff City to extend Rhys Healey’s stay at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
Healey’s three-month loan at the U’s is due to expire next week but they are keen to keep the striker for longer.
The 20-year-old striker has made a positive impact since joining the League One club from the Bluebirds, in September.
Healey has so far found the net four times in 11 appearances for Tony Humes’ side.
And Colchester now want the promising youngster to stay and help them in their bid to move away from relegation trouble.
U’s chairman Robbie Cowling said: “We’re in talks with Cardiff about having Rhys here for longer."

Crystal Palace could be set to battle it out with Everton for the services of Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy, according to reports.
The Eagles currently have Julian Speroni as their number one with Wales international Wayne Hennessey pushing him all the way, but that has not stopped reports suggesting Neil Warnock wants another goalkeeper. Ruddy has stayed loyal to the Canaries since dropping out of the Premier League last season but he could be tempted by a return to the top flight when the January window opens. A fee of £4million could be enough to secure a deal but the Eagles would face strong competition from Everton, who see Ruddy as the long-term successor to Tim Howard.

Brighton prepare bid for Leeds United midfielder
BY SEAN MAKIN ⋅ DECEMBER 11, 2014 ⋅
Brighton and Hove Albion are weighing up a move for Leeds United midfielder Rudy Austin, according to the Daily Mail.
The Jamaica international has made 15 appearances for the Whites this season, scoring once, but has recently fallen out of favour with most of his appearances coming from the substitute bench.
Leeds boss Neil Redfearn has put his faith in the young players and it is looking doubtful that Austin will figure regularly into his selection policy.
Brighton may be looking to take advantage of the recent problems at Elland Road as the club have posted financial figures outlining a £23million loss.
The Seagulls are at the wrong end of the Championship table and boss Sami Hyypia is desperate to improve his squad to help them avoid the drop.
Hyypia has identified Austin as the combative player Brighton need in their fight for survival.
Neil Redfearn’s side currently sit in 16th position in the Sky Bet Championship table, and have accumulated 23 points from 20 league games, whereas Brighton sit in 22nd position.
Meanwhile, Swansea City are targeting a January move for Leeds United starlet Alex Mowatt, as reported on FLW.

Signed for £11 million in the summer by Fulham, could Ross McCormack be destined for an early exit in January?
The Mail is reporting that the west London side are to at least consider their options regarding the striker.
Their report states: "Premier League clubs have been alerted to the fact Fulham are willing to listen to offers for striker Ross McCormack just six months after signing him from Leeds United for £11million.
"The 28-year-old is content in London but the struggling Championship side are considering means to strengthen their squad elsewhere and a sizeable offer for McCormack would be considered."
McCormack had a disappointing start at Fulham as did the whole side under Felix Magath, and while Kit Symons has steadied the ship, he has scored just four goals this season in the Championship.

A transfer ban was imposed on three clubs by the Football League on Monday, but it does not stop them adding players in January.
Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers can still add players on loan, or as free agents.
The number, and quality of players without contracts at this stage of the season is typically thin-pickings, but here are five possibilities for the Championship clubs.
Jermaine Jenas
A former England international, Jenas is a free agent after his contract with QPR ran out in the summer. He has been in rehab due to a knee injury sustained in April and is thought to be closing on a return to fitness. He's exactly the sort of experienced midfielder Leeds need, but Forest could hold an advantage due to his previous connections with the club.
Dickson Etuhu
Dickson Etuhu remains without a club after being released by Blackburn Rovers in May. The former Fulham midfielder had a tough time with injuries, but with time to focus on getting fit, perhaps the 32-year-old will have got himself back into shape to revitalise his career?
Mikael Leigertwood
Nottingham Forest had Mikael Leigertwood on trial in the summer and decided against a deal, but considering the ban, could they seek to revisit their interest? The 32-year-old has made more than 400 appearances in English football, and could also provide the experience Leeds need if he can prove his fitness.
Krisztián Németh
Once a highly regarded Liverpool prospect, Nemeth's career is in a slump at only 25, stuck without a club after leaving Dutch team Roda JC. The Hungarian international striker has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer this month, but could yet be tempted by a Championship side.
George McCartney
Former Leeds loanee George McCartney is a free agent after leaving West Ham in the summer. Blackburn have had injury problems in defence over the last month, and the 33-year-old could provide an extra option for Gary Bowyer's men.

Sheffield Wednesday are targeting a January move for ex-Chelsea winger Filipe Morais, according to the Mail.
Morais, 29, currently plies his trade for Sky Bet League One outfit Bradford City and his impressive performances have caught the eye of Stuart Gray’s Sheffield Wednesday.
The Portuguese winger joined Bradford City in the summer, however his current deal at the club is set to run out at the club next month, subsequently alerting the Owls to his availability.
Lewis McGugan is likely to remain at Sheffield Wednesday beyond his initial loan spell but the Hornets will consider bids for the midfielder in January, the Watford Observer understands.
McGugan's current loan deal with Wednesday expires on January 1 but we understand an initial agreement has been reached for the 26-year-old to remain at Hillsborough until at least the end of January.
Brighton and Hove Albion are considering signing former Liverpool midfielder Alou Diarra, according to Football 365.
Diarra, 33, is currently training with Sami Hyypia’s side and he could sign for the club in the coming weeks as he is a free agent.
The ex-France international was released from Barclays Premier League outfit West Ham United in the summer, and has since been searching for a new club.

Leeds United look set to launch a January bid for Sassuolo striker Leonardo Pavoletti, according to IBTimes
Any move the striker would have to be in the form of a loan deal, as a result of the transfer embargo they were struck with by the Football League, due to breaching Financial Fairplay Rules.
However, the IBTimes claims that the Yorkshire club will utilise a ‘loophole’ in the transfer embargo which states that they can sign players for a maximum of £600,000 a year in salary costs.
Pavoletti, 26, spent last season on loan at Italian club Varese and he went on to score 24 goals in 33 games for the club, and his prolific performances have certainly seen him attract interest.
Serie A side Sassuolo opted to keep hold of the Livorno-born striker and decided to reject approaches from other clubs, however Leeds United and Palermo are eyeing a January move, as reported on FLW.
Leeds United sporting direct Nicola Salerno told Sky Sport Italia: “I’ve liked this player for years and he has been considered by Leeds already in the past.
“I get along well with him and the president [Cellino] and I have a good relationship with Sassuolo. We could close a deal without any problems. It depends on the guy because I don’t know what he wants to do.”
The Elland Road outfit currently sit in 18th position in the Sky Bet Championship table, having accrued 24 points from 22 league games.

Charlton Athletic are set to sign Standard Liege striker Tony Watt, according to reports.
The 20-year-old joined the Belgian club from Celtic for £1.2m in the summer, but they are now looking to offload him after just six months.
Liege’s owner, Roland Duchatelet, also owns the Addicks, and he is keen to bolster his English club’s strike force with Bob Peeters’ side netting just 23 times in 22 matches.
Watt, who is a Scotland Under-21 international, is thought to have held talks with the Championship side as they look to seal a deal as quickly as possible.
The forward, who started his career with Airdrie United, famously scored Celtic’s winner against Barcelona in 2012.
