SWINDON TOWN: Navarro reports premature
12:21pm Thursday 14th June 2012 in Sport
SWINDON Town are interested in free agent Alan Navarro but any potential deal is far from being done, the Advertiser understands.
The midfielder, whose contract with Brighton was not renewed this summer, is believed to have spoken with the Robins with a view to a contract at the County Ground in recent weeks but reports that he is set to become Town’s first signing of the close season appear to be premature.
Navarro took to Twitter on Thursday morning to reveal his surprise at suggestions he will become Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio’s first acquisition since the end of last term.
He wrote: “Wow just woke up 2 a lot of swindon fans saying I'm signing, where as this come from, I hope its true, can some1 tell me this has been said.”

If he does really wants to join STFC then he should move on his wages to push it through.
Have been told by several Brighton fans that they would like him to stay but know he will be leaving whatever happens.

Navarro is a CM who is vastly experienced at L1 level and after getting over a big injury went on to play over 30 games for Brighton in the Championship this season
.
Bit like McEveley who played 30 times for Barnsley before being released by them
.
Put it this way I very much doubt he will get the criticism Risser gets!!!

Dreams - wouldn't look at who released him as a guide - we released Brian Howard who went on to be one of the best players outside the Premierhip!

If we're looking for out of contract players, why not try and get that young Irish fella that was relased by Derby, he came on as a 2nd half sub in the Spain v Ireland match this week, can't quite recall his name. Must be worth a punt!
