Cambridge Ponder Webb Signing

Last updated : 29 December 2003 By Andy Beill
Webb is currently at the Abbey Stadium on a one-month loan spell. He scored his first goal after three games for them, netting a last minute equaliser in their 2-2 draw with Lincoln on Saturday, and on Saturday the U's face the Tigers at the KC Stadium. However, Webb - along with Nathan Peat who is also on loan to Cambridge - will not be allowed to play in the match under the terms of the deal.

Following top scorer Dave Kitson's £250,000 move to Reading, Webb is one of their only attacking options. In order to field him on Saturday they would have to sign the 20-year-old on a permanent transfer, and manager Taylor is deliberating whether or not to do so.

He told the Cambridge Evening News: "The situation is that we have to sign Danny if we want to play him. I believe Hull would release the boy, so we have to weigh up pretty quickly if we want to take him after three games for us.
"He's done well in the two away matches. He's not a natural goalscorer and needs developing, but he has prospects.
"With Kits gone, we have some scope as far as wages are concerned to bring somebody in, and we are also looking at the list of players which we always have."

Elsewhere, Ryan Williams has completed his free transfer from Hull City to Bristol Rovers, signing a two-year contract.
