Gradi cool on Fleetwood

Crewe Alexandra technical director Dario Gradi has admitted that his club have been monitoring the form of Forest Green Rovers striker Stuart Fleetwood.
The 21-year-old has netted 23 goals in 23 games for Rovers this season, having been released by Hereford United at the end of last term.
Gradi had been keeping an eye on the Wales Under-21s frontman, but says that Fleetwood would not work well with existing Alex star Nicky Maynard.
He told The Sentinel: "Before we went to watch him I asked what we were going to do with him.
"The question was whether he would fit in. I don't think he is the kind of striker we are looking for.
"The fee is not too big a problem and I have spoken to Jim Harvey about him, but I don't think he and Nicky Maynard would work together."
