Luton Town today announced the signing of Southport midfield general John Paul Kissock, a move which had been mooted several weeks earlier, but came to fruition today. Godfrey Poku goes in the opposite direction along with Dan Walker on loan until December.
No further news about the signing of a striker but the club are still working hard to bring in a quality player in that regard. My information is that James Constable was supposed to be signing last Monday from Oxford after the clubs agreed terms and the player seemed happy to come. The medical was booked, but he appears to have moved the goalposts after his brace for OUFC last Sunday. He has reportedly asked OUFC to pay him compensation on his contract. I believe the badge kissing at Swindon was for the public effect and he has been reported in interview as saying he wants to stay at Oxford, but see how quickly that may change if Oxford agree to a payout. Bearing in mind that Shrewsbury are due 25% of any transfer money, it is logical that they won't want to have to pay the player compensation as well. Hence the hitch in securing his services.
I don't know what developments may have occurred over the last 24 hours but I am led to believe that Oxford boss Wilder is keen to move him out to bring in a new striker so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Tommy Craddock might also be seen to be surplus to requirements.
To quote a well known song, 'Scotty Doesn't Know'. It's not happening Scotty. You have no inside information. Although, if you do, I'd like to know why Reece Stych thinks Forest Green is a better long-term option than Luton Town...?
