Cottaging for young lads

There are reports coming out of Buckinghamshire that Fulham have had a £50k bid for Wycombe's teenage wonderkid Kadeem Harris turned down. Harris, 18, only signed a professional contract with the Chairboys one month ago, but new Cottagers' boss Martin Jol has reportedly shown an interest.

Harris has only made a couple of first team appearances for Wycombe and made his debut aged just 16 and 201 days on Boxing Day 2009. The club have not yet commented on the reports, adding a little substance to the rumours.

Bristol Rovers boss Paul Buckle has recruited Carl Emberson, 37,  as a goalkeeping coach. Emberson spent much of his playing career with Colchester and will work with Scott Bevan and fellow new boy Lance Cronin, 25, should the latter sign as expected this week. Cronin was released by Gillingham at the end of last term.

Oxford United's first round tie against Championship outfit Cardiff City will now be played on Wednesday 9th August 2011 at 745pm.

Reports coming out of Swindon seem to indicate that their hopes of signing a Brazilian striker are in trouble. Rumours that the unnamed European based player is Neymar are well wide of the mark though!
