New speculation over Constable
9:30am Thursday 16th August 2012 in Sport
Uncertainty over James Constable ’s future continues, with Oxford United not commenting on reports of another offer from Bristol Rovers.
The Pirates had two bids for the U’s striker, nicknamed Beano, rejected earlier in the summer, but ahead of the two teams meeting in the league on Saturday, manager Mark McGhee revealed another formal approach had been made.
He said: “We are still trying to persuade Oxford to sell him and, hopefully, we will get a decision this week.”
When asked by the Oxford Mail about the speculation, the U’s declined to give an official comment.

Unless they stump up £500,000 I can't see him going anywhere.

I think it's mind games they are trying to unsettle the player. What happened when another manager tried that approach? He scored 2 goals.

As an outsider view - JC has failed to impress in the scoring department perhaps he has a lot of assists.

There is also the small matter of a player under contract, loving playing for the club, having already turned down opportunities to talk to other clubs actually wanting to leave.
