Cutler Deal Off

The papers, and our chairman, had just about decided that this deal was done and dusted until, it is reported, that Cutler spoke to the Swans yesterday and asked for more money from the move.

Jackett refused to budge on the deal that had already been offered to the goalkeeper and now it appears that the deal has fallen through with Cutler’s destination seemingly now Stockport.

Jackett told BBC Sport “As soon as he stared talking about figures at this late stage I wanted to move on,

“He has spoken to another club and been offered a much better deal. He told me that if we couldn’t match that he was going to another club.

“It’s not a blow, it’s a disappointment but we’ll find a goalkeeper who’ll be very good and capable.

“I haven’t got anyone I’m going to necessarily bring in straight away but I’m very good at finding players.

“How long that will take I don’t know. I’ve got Brian Murphy here who I feel is a very good young keeper and I’m looking for another one because you obviously need two keepers on your books.”

Jackett is likely to turn his attention to former Rushden goalkeeper Billy Turley who was released from the Diamonds at the end of last season.

After saying last night that it was advantage Jackett for speaking out over two new possible signings, it is now another big plus in his favour for not allowing the club to be held to ransom.

And of course also a case of chickens, hatching and counting or something like that anyway!
