Bryan Robson's little helper Terry Venables has put in a £4 million bid for Derby's Rory Delap, says the Star. He certainly has not, says the Mirror - he's waiting to see what happens with the transfer system before he makes his move. Newcastle, Sunderland and Ipswich all turned up to have a peak at Ian Harte playing for Leeds' reserves on Thursday night - but Soccernet says the chances of David O'Leary letting him go (now that Dominic Matteo has taken his first team place) are somewhere between nought and zero. Alan Kelly could well be returning to Sheffield any day soon, but not to his former home at Bramall Lane - Wednesday are showing an interest.

TeamTalk, meanwhile, claim that Fulham have slapped a £5 million price tag on Steve Finnan, on hearing that Arsenal and Newcastle have been sniffing around the Irish international, and the same website says that Sheffield Wednesday will listen to £3 million-plus bids for Alan Quinn.
