We mentioned the news last night in a rumour about Kevin Kyle and sources close to the player sold by City to Birmingham in August 2006 for £2.325m, believe it to be nothing more than rumours at this stage.
Iain Dowie has refused to deny or confirm the rumours knowing that if he could re-sign or get on loan the striker that attendances at the Ricoh would improve and a regular goalscorer would get the team out of the current slump which sees them 20th in the table.

Refusing to name names, Dowie said: "We do have things brewing and hope to have people in before the window clsoes and we may have to use the loan system too.
