Owls boss points finger at Saints
Grzegorz Rasiak
Rasiak could be on his way to Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws accused Southampton of "changing the goalposts" after a move for striker Grzegorz Rasiak collapsed.

The Owls met Southampton's �2m asking price for the Poland striker, but were faced with futher financial demands they were not prepared to meet.

Laws said: "We're disappointed, talks have been going on for quite a while.

"Southampton accepted a substantial offer but now they've changed their demands. It's been very frustrating."

Saints boss George Burley confirmed his desire to keep Rasiak after the Owls tabled their bid.

Burley told BBC Radio Solent: "I'm keen for him to stay and I think he wants to stay and fight for a spot."

The Saints boss added: "Sheffield Wednesday made a bid, I spoke to Grzegorz about it, and he knows there's competition for places here.

"Grzegorz naturally wants to be first-pick, but I've got four other top quality front players who all want to be in the team as well. As a manager, that's the sort of situation you want to be in."
