Scunthorpe Utd: Alan Knill 'hopeful' of securing one permanent and one loan deal
Scunthorpe United manager Alan Knill is 'hopeful' of adding at least one new player to his squad on transfer deadline day, and could welcome two new arrivals.
The Iron manager has revealed one of his targets would be a permanent signing, and the other a loan deal.

Bury midfielder Damien Mozika
Bury midfielder Damien Mozika is believed to be Knill's top target for the former, with the 24-year-old Frenchman said to be unhappy at Gigg Lane.
"We're trying to do some business. It's quite difficult but we are trying," said Knill.
"I'm hopeful there will be every chance. It's quite difficult but we are trying.
"You're always hopeful but there are a lot of obstacles in the way. The biggest one is money.
"I'm hopeful we'll have some players in. Players plural, I'm hoping."
Knill admitted he has already had one enquiry for Mozika rejected by Bury, and had also received a 'flat no' for Shakers defender Joe Skarz.
"We've enquired, we had an answer back and that's where it is," he said of Mozika.
"I really don't like talking about other people's players and don't think it's right."
Mozika has made over 30 appearances for Bury since signing from Iranian side Tarbiat Yazd last year, and has one goal to his credit so far this season.

“P.doff - you were there. Are you the car park attendant with the beatle haircut and moustache, who stands in the SW corner of the car park with his finger pointing like a Kitchener poster?”

“Yeah well we are well rid of Le Sulk he never really fitted in to our happy club always scowling and he never sticks around at any club long enough.I think you might make a tidy profit on him if he moves up a league in the future.Good luck to The Iron you will need it with him he's a bit of a moody sod.”

“P.doff is telling us that Mozika is confirmed as signing, yet yesterday he was saying we weren't signing anyone cause we didn't have any money. Do I take it then that Wharton has dipped into his pocket?”
