Some weeks ago, we reported that Colin Todd had been showing an interest in signing Julian Joachim, but that he thought it very unlikely he would be able to attract the player. Bradford fans’ site, The Boy From Brazil, is now reporting that there is another Walsall connection – Darren Wrack.

Todd has been chasing a wide man and had been looking at ex Celtic man Bobby Petta, but, according to Bradford fans, his attention has now shifted to either John Oster, or our very own Darren Wrack.

The rumours have reached the stage where they say a signing is imminent – like in the next day or two – and it is interesting to speculate that Wrack may be involved, especially as all has gone quiet on that front.

It may, however, and this is far more likely, be pure speculation, but this is certainly the time of year to be enjoying that! I certainly wouldn’t give this one a lot of credibility, but you never know.

Meanwhile, of possibly even more interest to Walsall readers, Julian Joachim has not been included in the squad pictures on the Leeds United Official Web Site. This must be as clear a sign as possible that Kevin Blackwell does not want him at the club next season, but there seems to be little sign of the two parties coming to an agreement as yet. There aren’t even any rumours circulating on the Leeds message boards. Michael Ricketts is another left in limbo in exactly the same way.
