WHITTON SLAMS TRANSFER RUMOURS

COLCHESTER UNITED manager Steve Whitton has denied reports that he is set to move for Barnet forward Scott McGleish and Wycombe striker Sean Devine.

Whitton (pictured) has a substantial war chest, following the sale of Tresor Lomano Lua-Lua to Newcastle, and missed out on striker Alex Mathie, who chose to make the move to York City.

However, Whitton has denied that he is set to move for either McGleish or Devine, saying: "I don`t know where those two names have sprung from. I want to bang those rumours on the head here and now.

"Just because we`ve suddenly got a lot of money for Tresor Lomano Lua-Lua, I won`t be panicked into spending.

"I will carry on looking and when the right man at the right price comes along, then I will pounce."
