More Details about Ainsworth Probable Deal

Hereford United manager Graham Turner has spoken about the loan deal move of Lionel Ainsworth from Edgar Street to Watford. He said that if Watford take to the young winger the fee could set a new record for the Bulls.

"If Lionel goes well, and if Watford go well, then it will be the biggest incoming transfer fee in the club's history," Turner told the Hereford Times.

"The monies will not all come in immediately but the big advantage of the deal is that we have secured the services of Toumani and Theo for the remainder of the season.

"To be fair to them (Watford), they had shown some interest and I had talked to them prior to Thursday but it really got underway when they were keen to do a deal."

The biggest incoming fee in Bulls' history is Darren Peacock's transfer to QPR. The Bulls received a total of £445,000 in two lumps - an initial £200,000 in 1990 with £245,000 coming from the sell-on clause when he was sold to Newcastle in 1994.
