McLeish open to Yeung suggestions
McLeish is looking to concentrate on a list of four to five players he feels can enhance the Blues squad this summer.[LNB]And he dismissed as "ridiculous" reports that he is locked in a battle for control of playing affairs with Yeung and his back-up staff.[LNB]The former Scotland boss said: "There have been big headlines about control which have been ridiculous. The relationship I've got with Carson and the board is terrific.[LNB]"If they recommend players to me, I'm not going to dismiss them out of hand. I'm going to do due diligence on these players.[LNB]"I have to see if they can improve this club but I do get thousands of players thrust at me every week.[LNB]"If we can stick to a list of four or five players, with some back-up along the way, it is better than going through all these names and travelling all over the world to see what these guys can do.[LNB]"DVDS can help and (football vice-chairman) Sammy Yu can help by saying 'this player will definitely enhance your squad' and that is the kind of feedback I am looking for."[LNB]McLeish also confirmed he is willing to offer a new contract to veteran keeper Maik Taylor who has been number two to on-loan Joe Hart this season.[LNB]He said: "We haven't sat down to speak yet but I don't see any reason why not. Maik is at a cracking level of fitness for a man of his age.[LNB]"He is a dedicated professional and we will still need three keepers. I don't see any reason why we can't agree something with Maik Taylor for another year."[LNB][LNB] Barclays Premier League. Click here to bet.
