Jackett: "Nothing Is Imminent"

Last updated : 15 June 2005 By Richard Evans
Kenny Jackett has stated that no new signings are currently on the horizon, as he looks to bolster his squad for next season's League One campaign. After seeing two increased bids rejected for his primary transfer targets last week, Jackett has been forced to admit that he well have to divert his attention elsewhere but has stated that he will not bring players in purely for the sake of it.

"We have increased our bids for Burgess and Holt over the last few weeks", Jackett told the Western Mail, "...but they have been turned down by their clubs. If we decide to spend more money, then that will open up a whole new list of players to us. As the summer goes on different people do become available...sometimes you don't always get what you want".

Swansea have already had a £130k bid for Grant Holt rejected, whilst Rushden have turned down an improved £80k bid for Andy Burgess. "Perhaps Rochdale and Rushden are testing us out", Jackett continued, "...but it is worth those clubs waiting to see who else comes in for their players during the summer". The message for Swansea fans must therefore be one of "patience"!
