Boothroyd cools McCann bid

Colchester boss Aidy Boothroyd has confirmed his admiration for Scunthorpe midfielder Grant McCann.

Last Updated: 03/12/09 3:23pm

Colchester United boss Aidy Boothroyd has confirmed his admiration for Scunthorpe United midfielder Grant McCann.

Reports have claimed that Boothroyd is planning a January approach for McCann, but he has refused to fuel the speculation.

Boothroyd insists he is happy with his current central-midfield options, although 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."
