Downing reveals failed Easter bid
Jermaine Easter
Easter was unsettled after Plymouth made a bid during the summer
Cheltenham caretaker boss Keith Downing has revealed that he has been rebuffed in an approach to sign unsettled Wales striker Jermaine Easter from Wycombe.

"We tried to get Jermaine on loan when he came back from international duty," Downing explained.

"But Wycombe are not prepared to let him out without a club committing to buy him in January.

"And the figures that they are talking about are way out of our range, so that was a 'no'."

Easter has not played for his club since being left out for a game last month when manager Paul Lambert said he "wasn't in the right frame of mind".

However, he did feature as a late substitute in Wales' recent 3-1 defeat in Cyprus.
