Knill set for a double transfer swoop?

Last updated : 29 January 2007 By Deano
Fleming
The Millers have lost quality in the transfer window with the departure of their top scorer Will Hoskins and key midfielder Lee Williamson.

So far knill has brought in Chris O'Grady from Leicester City for £65,000, as well as the loan signings of 'Tiggy' Diagouraga and Ian Henderson and missing out on a host of other names linked with a switch to Millmoor.

The latest strong links are thought to be two Championship players. The Star reports that Knill is lining up a bid for Norwich veteran Craig Fleming. The defender, who can play at full back or centre half, may be keen on a longer contract than the loan deal he penned last week with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Whitley
MillersMAD understands the other potential signing could be Northern Irish and Cardiff City midfielder Jeff Whitley. The fiery ball winner has had successful spells at the top level and may be someone knill sees as an addition as his squad square up to a relegation dog fight in the coming months.
