Nothing reported on the Grays website. Just this really:

The club are again confirming that they have not received a bid from Southend United, and the club have no intention of selling Dennis at the momemt.

The Club are not happy about the rumours that are being circulated

don't seem happy.

So much for our fantastic Grays inside source then.

I for one am slightly surprised to see all this about Oli.

Having seen him a few times, despite having a decent amount of talent, there is no way he's worth more than £20,000 or so. He's VERY quick, and quite useful with the ball at his feet. He loves to run at defenders and trick his way down the line, sort of like Cole but with less promise. I can't see why we'd go to him other than it being a last desperate move to get a forward in. He'd be a useful player to have in the squad, don't get me wrong, but he's not worth blowing all that money on.

I know what you're getting at...

To be honest IF we do sign him I doubt it would be for much more than that. Which is why I doubt we will sign him. Grays are probably ok for money at the minute and thus able to hold out for more money if they dont want to sell him.

I'd like us to sign him, but I think Grays will price him out of a move.
