Noel-Williams still on the list

Burnley striker Gifton Noel-Williams remains on the transfer list despite scoring a hat-trick in Tuesday's 4-2 win against Barnsley.
Clarets boss Steve Cotterill made the 26-year-old available at the end of last season after he struggled to make an impact following his arrival from Stoke City in June 2005.
Noel-Williams failed to find a new club during the summer, but boosted his chances of regular first-team football with the Clarets by producing a match-winning display after coming off the bench against Barnsley.
However, it appears the performance was not enough to change Cotterill's opinion of him.
"If I take him off and he has a shocker on Saturday, what would I do then, put him back on the list on Monday?" the manager told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"That's how it is at this moment in time. I'd imagine he'd not want to go anywhere anyway."
