Christie Bid Tabled?

23rd January 2006

Rochdale's bid for Kidderminster striker Iyseden Christie appears "dead", especially as the respective managers of Rochdale and Kidderminster are arguing! This could leave Lincoln in pole position to land Christie, although Imps' boss Keith Alexander has already stated that he will not met Kidderminster's £50,000 valuation of Christie.

Last week, Rochdale made an undisclosed offer for Christie, but the offer was less than £50,000. Now, Rochdale are claiming that this offer was accepted but that Kidderminster are holding-up a deal.

Rochdale boss Steve Parkin stated: "Kidderminster haven't got back to us, despite agreeing a fee."

However, Kidderminster manager Mark Yates has rejected this version of events and states that the "deal is dead".

Yates replied: "On Thursday, I was told that if I didn't get back to them about their offer for Iyseden an hour or so later, then the deal was dead.

"I wasn't happy with what was offered, so I didn't get back to them."

Over the weekend, Alexander revealed that he has tabled cash offers for a couple of unnamed players. One of these is believed to be Christie, as Alexander has spent several seasons chasing the striker.
