Coleman plays Brum waiting game.

Seamus Coleman, the Sligo Rovers defender, has admitted that he is itching for a move to England.

Coleman spent a week on trial with Championship side Birmingham City last month and is said to have impressed Blues boss Alex McLeish.

However, Birmingham are yet to table an official bid for the defender, who remains a Sligo player for the time being.

�I was happy enough with the way things went with Birmingham but I�m still a Sligo player at the minute,� said Coleman.

�I�ll just have to wait and see what happens really. I trained with the first team and played a friendly with against Sheffield United. They have an excellent set-up.

�I always said that I would love to play in England. If a move happens, then it happens. I love Sligo though and with so much coming up, I�m looking forward to returning for pre-season in a couple of weeks. Everyone is buzzing in Sligo town at the minute,� he added.

Article in the Sunday Times on Coleman today, but mainly more about how Sean Connor is great for signing him and recommending him to Birmingham of all places.

100k? I'd laugh at that and tell them where to go.I'd be more than happy to have seamie with us for the next 10 years,and until anyone comes up with a decent offer considering his age also,he should stay with us.Such a young lad with great potential,the minimum i'd take for him personally is 400k with clauses and thats being conservative hes a cracking player

For the next 10 years? He's only contracted for another year and considering he seems so keen to go to england there's no hope he will sign a new contract. Seriously like,400k,are you taking the p**s? Derry got way less for mcginn who is a more promising player imho. LOI clubs don't have the bargaining power to demand 400k for a player like seamie. Tbh i'd take 150k and a sell on clause. We're not gonna have him for more than a year and if we don't sell him i don't think in that year he would make 150k of a difference. I hope wherever he goes he does well though cos he's a smashing player with loads of potential.

Jimmy Ryan. Midfielder. Age 20. Irish. Just Released by Stanley and also played for Liverpool Youth team. U-21 Cap.

Thats a rumour I heard. Not reliable though as it hasn't been on so much other things.

**Redie** · 05/01/2009, 1:00 PM

Today's Sun say's Alan Cawley is close to signing.

**sligofan4ever** · 05/01/2009, 7:34 PM

Doe's anyone know if Cook is still trying to sign Parkhouse and Morrison?

On another note i'd say one of the 2 accrington players that are supposed to be joining will be a striker, seeing as the only attacking option we currently got is Boco.
