U's boss plays down McCann talk

Boothroyd insists he is happy with his current central-midfield options, but 29-year-old Northern Ireland international McCann is on his radar."We are interested in a number of players. I do like Grant McCann - I've liked him for a long time," Boothroyd told the Colchester Gazette."But he is a Scunthorpe United player and we can't do anything about that anyway. I won't be adding to any speculation but I do like him as a player, as I like a lot of central-midfield players."We've got John-Joe O'Toole, Kemi Izzet, David Fox and Anthony Wordsworth, who can all play in central midfield."I know about him and I like him but he is one of many other players in that position."
