Tiernan Lynch has responded to speculation linking Lee Bonis with a move away from Larne.
Reports on Monday suggested the striker could be off to Championship side Rotherham United with a fee in the region of £300,000 mentioned.
The Larne boss seemed to pour cold water on the situation though claiming links to a move was merely "paper talk".

Bonis netted in the 2-1 defeat to Cliftonville on Monday and speaking afterwards Lynch told the BBC he had spoken to both the striker and his agent.
"I don't think there has been speculation, there's an article in the paper and when I read it it was the first I had heard of it," he said.
"I got three or four texts from different people all asking the same question, is there a situation with Lee?
"I'm not aware of any situation with Lee.
"I've had a conversation with Lee, I've had a conversation with Lee's agent, and as far as we're concerned it's just very much paper talk."
The forward joined the Invermen from Portadown at the start of last January for a reported six-figure fee.
