BURY could be poised to prise Kasper Schmeichel from Manchester City.

Schmeichel was a big hit at Gigg Lane until recalled by Stuart Pearce despite being fourth in the pecking order at Eastlands.

He's now up to third with Joe Hart loaned out to Tranmere Rovers.

Manager Chris Casper said: "We've had discussions with City about Kasper and I'm hopeful he'll come back at some point.

"He loves it here and the fans love him, but it's up to Stuart."

Lee Jones, one of seven keepers used by Bury this season, has joined Darlington on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

Bury return to action at Torquay on Saturday and hope to have transfer targets Andy Bishop, the club's top scorer, and Dwayne Mattis in their starting line-up.
