"We're in talks with them," he told the club's
official website.
"The chairman and them are talking. I'd love to think we can get something done over the weekend so that he's available for us on Monday - that's the plan.
"Whether we can do that, we'll have to wait and see. The window opens on Sunday so we'd love to think we can get him available for Monday. If not, then leading up to the cup game.
"I'm not sure (what sort of deal is being discussed), I honestly don't know what the negotiations are with the chairman. All I know is that he's talking and we'd love to think we can get something done."
