He has been chasing an unnamed striker on a loan basis over the past week but that hasn't come to fruition as of yet. He said: "We haven't got somebody in at the moment. The club involved aren't letting the striker out just yet. I can see why, they're in no rush really and have all August to let him out. They could sell him too. All we can do is move on. We'll revisit it but in the meantime if we see someone else we really like we'll try for that. Yes, we got a knockback but three or four other clubs went in for that player at the same time and got a knockback too. I won't name the player. We won't sign anyone before the weekend but we've got enough in at the moment. What we're trying to do is add more competition to the squad. Chances are it will be a loan. I prefer long term loans to short ones because the players feel part of the football club." - more.

The finer details haven't been ironed out yet but we're getting closer. I'm hopeful it will be sorted soon but there's always something in the way. There's been a dialogue between everybody and that's a good thing. When there isn't any dialogue that's a poor sign. I'm hopeful we're close. I want him to stay here for a long time because he's a really good player and I believe we can make him even better - more.

I'm a little bit hamstrung by the finances at the moment so we'll have to see." Speaking about the search for a striker, he added: "We are making progress. But it will probably come down to finance whether or not we can do it. This wouldn't be to buy, it would be to loan. We'll have to have a chat and see whether or not we can do it.

The Northern Ireland international has turned down one offer from the club which his agent described as 'derisory'. Boss Alan Knill believes they can still come to an agreement though, saying: "I think it's still ongoing. The agent came out and put his side of the story across and then the club put their side out. I'm hopeful that somewhere we'll meet in the middle to discuss Michael's future. As far as I'm concerned, he wants to continue playing for us and we've spoken and he expressed that opinion. We're delighted with that and we'd prefer it if we could reach an agreement. Michael has come in though and said to us that whatever happens he will give his best for Scunthorpe United. That's all we can ask for." And Knill still expects O'Connor to be with United come the start of the season. He added: "I would imagine so. We've not had any offers for Michael. He's a Scunthorpe United player - he signed a contract and is still under contract so I can't see that changing." - more.

Knill said: "We were disappointed. We spoke to Andrew and his agent, and had a deal on the table. He was in Thailand and we had a verbal agreement that we wouldn't sign another player in his place and he wouldn't join another club. However, I got his agent calling me and telling me he decided to join Rochdale as his ex-manager at youth level is now the boss there. The only thing I was disappointed was that he left the call to the agent and didn't make it himself. I would probably have had a better opinion of him had he done it himself, but he didn't. He let the agent do it. These things happen, but I prefer people to be honest and open. At the time when I was speaking to him I told him 'we see you as one for the future, we have three midfield players here who in my opinion are probably better but you'd be one for the future'. He seemed to like that and wanted to come but suddenly he changed his mind. You have to look at it philosophically and say he's not the player for us." - more.
BBC Radio Humberside: Scunthorpe boss Alan Knill has offered his response to claims from Accrington boss John Coleman questioning the club's conduct in trying to sign midfielder Jimmy Ryan.

He's a young player with a lot of promise and has been playing in a Premier League reserve team. He is definitely one for the future and has been playing in League One and League Two.
