The Mirror suggests that cash-flow problems at Crystal Palace will see the Reds launch a £300,000 bid for midfielder Neil Danns.

The 27-year-old, who made his name during a productive spell at Colchester United, has been a key figure in Neil Warnock's side this season.

Scotland's The Herald meanwhile quotes Billy Davies as saying that his plan for a formal scouting network in his home country have been rejected by the Forest board.

The City Ground boss however remains convinced that there is plenty of talent in the SPL and lower leagues and maintains plenty of informal contacts within the game.
