Heard that Sheehan is considering a return to us following release by Leeds.

 

Heard this from within LUFC who hold his registration until end of June.

 

We have Black but Alan did OK with us when he was last here.

Swindon no longer interested in Sheehan:

Swindon Town have confirmed that Michael Rose's impending arrival from Stockport County means they no longer want Alan Sheehan.

 

The Robins were being tipped to secure Sheehan permanently following a successful loan from Leeds United last season.

 

However, with Rose joining from Stockport, Town have confirmed that Sheehan, who is expected to leave Leeds, is no longer required.

 

Wilson was interested in securing former Leicester defender Sheehan permanently, but has hinted the financial aspect proved a stumbling block.

 

No deal

"The Alan Sheehan thing is not going to go forward," Wilson confirmed to the Swindon Advertiser.

 

"This is the left-back we're going to bring in and I am delighted with Michael.

 

"It's the fact that he is still a Leeds player, believe it or not, and there was a financial impact that came in with that.

 

"We thought we did still need a left-back. We looked around and thought that Michael would be better for us at this stage, so that's why we opted for him."

 

Does that bit in bold bugger it up for us too then? (if we are/were interested)

I imagine Sheehan is looking for a championship club/southampton type club in our league, if financially he was asking for to much for swindon to pay.

I think the implication from that article was that Leeds wanted something for him as well, no?

as roylearmy says, he still has another 12 months left to run on his contract.

 

Swansea are also tracking Leeds United left-back Alan Sheehan.

 

It is understood Swansea have already spoken to Leeds about the former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international.

 

Swansea are in the market for a left-back after Fede Bessone turned down a new contract at the Liberty Stadium and signed for Leeds last week.

 

They have also been linked with a move for Wrexham's Welsh international Neil Taylor.

 

Sheehan was signed for Leeds on a three-year deal by former boss Gary McAllister after five seasons at Leicester. But he fell out of favour when Simon Grayson took over at Elland Road and made only 21 appearances for the club before he was loaned out to Crewe, Oldham and Swindon Town last term, who he helped to the League One play-off final.

 

The 23-year-old still has a year to run on his contract but could be available on a free transfer.
