"It is the second time this has happened and I will look to do something else now. [LNB]"I want our own goalkeeper in and not have to rely on other people, especially when they can recall them at any given moment. We have other irons in the fire and it is something we will follow up. [LNB]"We hope to complete a deal for Bossu as soon as we can. We have offered him a two-month trial if you like and he is here training with us today, so it looks as though he is keen to stay. [LNB]"There will be a few things that will need to be finalised such as international clearance, as he was last playing in Scotland for Aberdeen. [LNB]"I don't think that will come that quickly, so he probably won't be involved this weekend. Steve Collis and Adam Legzdins will be battling for the spot and I expect they will be lively in training this week."[LNB]
