Whites may miss out on defensive targets

GARY Megson's persuasive powers could be tested to the limit if he pursues his interest in Aston Villa defensive duo, Gary Cahill and Olof Mellberg.
The Wanderers boss appeared to be dealt a double blow yesterday when Villa boss, Martin O'Neill, revealed he had rejected a number of offers for 22-year-old Cahill, while Juventus revealed they were close to agreeing a pre-contract deal with Mellberg.
Although Megson has not confirmed an interest in either player, Wanderers are understood to have made a bold attempt to hi-jack Mellberg's proposed move to Italy and tabled a bid for Cahill, the young centre-back Sammy Lee tried to sign just before the August transfer deadline.
With the January window closing in eight days, the rumour mill is hotting up with Wanderers linked with a range of players, based at home and abroad.
