James Constable at KIDDERMINSTER Harriers ex-Walsall player, who has netted 13 goals this term, only signed for Kidderminster on a permanent basis last January. He is contracted to the Aggborough outfit until the end of next season, and while there have been no formal approaches for the 23-year-old, Harriers' chairman Barry Norgrove says that there has been interest.
"There have been a number enquires about James over the past couple of months but nothing concrete," he said.
"We haven't placed a price tag on James because there has not been anything formal, but we would like six figures."

Knowingeye - have you seen him play? Working in Kidderminster I've seen him a few times - good player at Conference level but couldn't make it at Walsall when they were in League 2. I don't think he could make the jump to Championship & at 23 surely he should be at his peak now. He cost Kidderminster about £10-15K.

Only seen him once but was mentioned to me yesterday that a couple of other top Championship clubs are looking at him. (I wouldn't be surprised if Stoke have had a scout look at him and a couple of the other forwards there). Some lads develop at different rates than others maturing later and whilst your comment re Walsall maybe right, perhaps worth a look if nothing else. I suspect that if he is good and Championship material a deal would be done ASAP

Personally, I'd prefer us to take a gamble (maybe just a season loan) on Forest Green's Stuart Fleetwood.
See how he does and assess whether he is worth signing at the end of the loan

Fleetwood is going to Gillingham (if anywhere) as FGR director & Gills director are business pals.
