  ..All those 'keeper rumours (19/06/01)  
 

There seems to be no shortage of rumours about who we are going to sign at the minute. And most of the rumours involve Goalkeepers. So here's the top two goalkeeper rumours with their latest developments.

Roy Carroll:
The rumour that just will not die and like Arnie, it's back! Latest news is that Latics boss Paul Jewell has said that he will not stand in the way if Carroll wishes to leave the club for a Premiership team.

Filbert Street though are a little more cagey in what they say and who they say it to. The latest word from City officials is, "There will be an official comment from the club at some point in the future."

Which isn't helpful but they did goon to say, "It is no secret that we have been watching Carroll and it is no secret that we need a keeper, this is an ongoing thing. Flowers struggled with his hips last year and it's not ideal to have kids on the bench.

"Most Premiership club's have three keepers these days so, yes, we are looking for another one. But until there is an official comment any talk about Carroll is purely speculation."

So there you go, clear as mud, as usual.

Dave Beasant:

42 year old ex-Forest 'keeper Dave Beasant has confirmed that Leicester made an inquiry over his availability but says he hasn't made a decision on his future.... yet.

City are said to be one of several clubs who have checked out Beasant since Forest let him go at the end of last season.

Beasant thoughts on it all? "Leicester have been in touch but so far there is nothing definite and you can never guarantee anything until it is offered and signed. There are a few possibilities but nothing has been sorted out yet.
