Warnock wants Norwich pair
By Mark Buckingham - Created on 23 Dec 2005
Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock wants to sign Norwich City strike duo Dean Ashton and Darren Huckerby.
Warnock is determined to strengthen his squad during January's transfer window as he aims to take The Blades back into The Premiership.
The Blades manager is always on the lookout for a new striker and has expressed an interest in Ashton and Huckerby.
Though the Bramall Lane club would be unable to afford the £6 million-rated Ashton, who is also a target for Premiership sides, Huckerby would be a feasible option.
"We are looking at targets and talking to managers and agents with a view to bringing people in," said Warnock.
"I would love to have Ashton and Huckerby. I want them both."
But Warnock's Norwich counterpart Nigel Worthington has dismissed his rival's comments as mind games ahead of the two teams' meeting on Boxing Day.
Worthington said: "I am taking no notice of it. I'm not interested.
"All I'm hoping is that the two players go out on the day and just show everyone what great players they are."
Be good if we can swoop ashton as for huckerby hes a twat so i wouldnt want us to get him. Although i think this article is part of warnocks pre match mind games lol Good to hear that we are still looking for strikers coz i cant see deano doing much.
