Mine's a Kilkenny

Keith Millen is resting on his laurels after signing Aussie midfielder Neil Kilkenny, 25, on a three year deal from Leeds and is being linked with a move for Boro' defender Andrew Taylor.

Cardiff have also shown an interest in the former England U21 player while Boro' still haven't given up hopes of keeping him.

James Tunnicliffe is joining Wycombe on a free transfer from Brighton & Hove Albion. Central defender Tunnicliffe had a spell on loan with Bristol Rovers last season and while he didn't necessarily impress everyone initially, when the chips were down he definitely played his part as Rovers fought unsuccessfully against the drop to League Two.

Meanwhile the Gas are hoping to sign goalkeeper Lance Cronin, 25, as back up to another new boy, Scott Bevan who manager brought from former club Torquay.

Winger Jake Thompson, 22, is hoping to return to Cheltenham - where he spent a period on loan last season - following his release by Exeter.

Defender Alberto Comazzi, 32, looks set to sign for Swindon according to the local press. Comazzi came through the youth ranks at AC Milan,although he only appeared for them twice. He spent much of his career at Verona where he played around 200 games. Comazzi's move follows on from Paolo di Canio's capture of striker Raffaele De Vita, 23, from Livinston. The lad spent four years at Blackburn without kicking a ball in anger and now gets the chance for another crack at English football as di Canio uses his Italian connections to lift Swindon's profile :-)

I'm sure that we will see move movement in the transfer market by the Robins, but I suspect that the fans weren't expecting signings such as these.
