Leeds have rejected two bids from unnamed Premier League sides for teenager Fabien Delph, telling the pair they don't deal in 'petty cash'. They have signed Stoke defender Carl Dickinson on loan. Scunthorpe have agreed to cancel the contract of defender Izzy Iriekpen, who had been told he could leave Glanford Park. Leicester defender Alex Tunchev has been ruled out for the rest of the season after being diagnosed with an ACL tear.
Colchester have loaned striker Akanni-Sunday Wasiu to Luton for a month. The former St Albans forward scored twice in 13 games since joining the U's in the summer. The U's have signed Wolves midfielder Lewis Gobern on loan for a month, and also loaned goalkeeper Dean Gerken to Darlington. Brighton have signed Chris Birchall until the end of the season. The Trinidad and Tobago international was previously expected to go to the US to play.
Huddersfield have lodged a £200,000 bid for Motherwell striker Chris Porter. The former Oldham player has scored 24 times in 18 months with the club, and is the third striker to be targeted by the Terriers. Cheltenham have released midfielder Ben Gill after he agreed a pay-off. Stockport keeper Owain Fon Williams is the target of a quartet of Premier League sides, according to the agent friendly Sky Sports.
Barnet keeper Rob Beckwith has retired from football at the age of 24 as he doesn't enjoy the game anymore. Chester boss Mark Wright claims a League One side is ready to make a six-figure bid for striker Ryan Lowe. Scarborough's hopes of returning to their home town quickly have been dashed after a report for the local council stated that £600,000 would be needed for repairs to their former McCain Stadium home after vandals repeatedly struck.
Northwich got their transfer embargo lifted after they persuaded the Conference and HMRC to speak directly. The Conference thought the club were behind on VAT payments, but the taxman put them right. Their only problem now will be the state of the stadium, with press reports saying that most of the fixtures and fittings, and the power generator that has run the floodlights for three months, have been removed by their current landlords - who dodged another court hearing with a 14 day extension after documents were not served in time.
Leicester have signed Man Utd utility man Tom Cleverley on loan for a month. The teenager has been a teammate in the reserves at Old Trafford of new Bulls signing Sam Hewson. Accrington goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin has followed teammate Bobby Grant in being arrested as part of the inquiry into the bar brawl involving Steven Gerrard.
