Aussie Keeper!
According to local press, Crewe are trying to lure Aussie keeper Danny Milosevic back to Gresty Road before the season begins in less than a month.

With George Bankole told to find another club, Stuart Tomlinson asked to wait at least another season before becoming into contention and interest in Scottish triallist Kris Robertson over, the club are desperate for competition for Clayton Ince.

Ince, who has been in inspired form over the past twelve months, was injured in January when the Leeds stopper was brought in as cover and needs some proper competition for his number one jersey.

"I am trying to borrow Milosevic," confirmed Dario Gradi. "But I haven' t had permission to do that yet from Leeds. Ideally we'd want to take him at the start of the season and I'm hoping to find out more from Peter Reid in the next few days."

Leeds, who are crippled by debt and are desperate to release as many players as possible, were hit by Nigel Martyn's reluctance to go to Chelski last week, so Peter Reid may be in a position to let the man who represented Australia in the 2000 Olympics go out on loan.
