Babylon Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 Taken from his on line diary: “I am delighted to announce that this afternoon I have signed for Leicester City, subject to passing my medical. It goes without saying that this is a fantastic move for me and a wonderful opportunity to develop my career at a higher level. As I’ve said in the past, a move to the Premiership would not have been in my best interests at this stage, but I certainly feel comfortable moving back up into the Championship. There were other clubs interested in signing me, but once I’d had the chance to take a look at the training ground and the fantastic Walker’s Stadium, it became evident to me that Leicester City are a Premiership club in everything but name. The playing staff here is also of the highest calibre, likewise the management team, and I can’t wait to join up with the lads for my first training session tomorrow. Finally, I’d like to say a big thank-you to everyone at Walsall for looking after me so well since the age of nine. I will always be indebted to the club for giving me the opportunity to become a professional footballer and I wish them all the very best for the rest of the season and, indeed, the future. But as one chapter closes, another opens, and I’m looking forward to hopefully having the same success at the Walker’s Stadium that I did at the Bescotâ€Â.

Ric Flair Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 Sounds a level headed lad, pleasing to hear that he chose us over other clubs. It's nice to know we still have a decent reputation even if that might be holding us back as we seem to have a devine right to win this league.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 A full capacity Stadium when in the top flight, three League Cup wins and some heady days in the top flight. As well as a big City with a large catchment area of fans and a decent stadium. Ok, Leicester aren't as big as Manchester United BUT THEY ARE A MASSIVE CLUB.

Mirek Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 Hi Walsall fan here You have signed a gem there with Matty Fryatt. I am glad he has gone to one of the "big" championship teams. He deserves it with his skill and attitude. He wouldnt ahve made it at this stage in the Premiership and glad he didnt go to the Custard Bowl in Wolverhampton Good luck for the rest of the season. Im sure that Matty will fire em in for you when he is fit again ( Approx 3-4 weeks apparantly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 8.75% hah, i'm glad i read his interview/conference now, surely this is worth more than 8.75%, pushing 10% surely? "I watched the Tottenham game on the television and the noise inside the stadium sounded fantastic. It was a great game of football and made me even more eager to sign."

MC Prussian Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 I was slightly scared when I read the title of this thread. I thought Fryatt had just woken up from a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werestandingup_weresittingdown Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 does anyone have any links for any goals this lad has scored??? Hume will now have an even slimmer chance of playing, he may be regretting his switch from tranmere but i suppose competition for places is important for us. oooh matty fryatt oooooh matty fryatt!!!!! 3-2, we beat the spurs 3-2, we beat the spurs 3-2.......................

Bert Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 How do injured players pass medicals? I think they look for long term injuries on medicals and any current injuries are noted and looked at. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phube Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 Just watching the interview on the OS. Is it just me or does he remind you of a young Michael Owen (only with better hair!!) lets hope he can have half of the impact Owen had!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted 10 January 2006 Share Posted 10 January 2006 Another Saddlers fan here...Matty is a good bit of business for you, I'm sure he will do well at Leicester. He will certainly be missed at bescot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Doyle Posted 11 January 2006 Share Posted 11 January 2006 How refreshing it is to see some Walsall fans saying he will be missed at the club. I remeber last time notes were left on a Leicester City internet site about one of our striker signings saying Akin bad buy couldent trap a bag of cement. How right did that prove to be. Lets hope the positiveness of the Walsall fans comes through on the pitch and Fryatt goes on to be one of the clubs legends. Good luck at the City Fryatt COME ON YOU MIGHTY FOXES MadMick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
