17 June 2010 13:57
lackburn chief Sam Allardyce has ruled out the possibility of moving for Stoke strikers Tuncay and James Beattie.[LNB] The Rovers boss is in the market for new strikers, with Jason Roberts and Nikola Kalinic the only recognised first teamers at Allardyce's disposal.[LNB]With the Potters linked with a move for West Ham striker Carlton Cole, manager Tony Pulis may look to cash in on his two forwards, neither of whom have been able to hold down a first-team spot.[LNB]Allardyce however denied the rumours linking him with Turkish international Tuncay and Beattie, who began his career at Ewood Park and made four appearances for the club.[LNB]"We have no interest in them at the moment and we haven't made any enquiries," he told The Sentinel.[LNB]"I am surprised to see the stories in that respect, although teams get linked with everyone at this time of year so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised."
