In what seems a classic act of agent spin, Dale have been linked alongside other clubs with Hereford winger Marc Pugh.
The story appeared on Sky Sports on Thursday afternoon, linking Dale and Exeter with Pugh, with a number of other unnamed clubs reportedly interested with him.
Pugh is a 22 year old winger, who has been around the division for a few seasons now, perhaps in a similar way to how Adam Rundle was before joining Dale.
His career started at Burnley, before joining Bury after a successful loan spell. When out of contract, he joined Shrewsbury before falling out of favour under Paul Simpson.
He joined Hereford in the Summer, and had a blistering start with five goals before the end of September.
