Watford: Town Wanted Swap Deal for Shumi

Last updated : 24 March 2009 By Site Editor
Speaking to the Ipswich Evening Star, Rodgers said: "The interest has dwindled away now. I shall be looking to bring in players in the summer, and he is an intelligent player and could come back into my thoughts.

"Ipswich were interested in a double swap and you will have to ask them who our player was. But it appears all over for the time being."

It's likely that the Watford player to be involved in any deal was 22 year old central defender or right back Adrian Mariappa who has been linked to the Blues on a number of occasions in the past.
