Walkers Welcomes Worley

[FilboFox]

Decent YOUNG signing... building for the future and hopefully we'll have a good squad together to push for the Premiership next year as Ollie keeps chopping and changing.

I'm pretty pleased with this... shows that Ollie is taking a good look at the players before launching into buys.

[FilboFox]

He was dating Charley!?!

Can't blame him... strange personality and massive gob... aside from that, she was a stunner!

[Unabomber]

This signing has got league 1 written all over it. We beat Preston to sign him I bet Barca and Man Utd are gutted.

I can't work out whether or not this is a joke.

Where have you seen him play before? I have only seen him the once in the reserves and he looked solid enough, and he is still young.

[Jimmy]

Lita would of been very nice indeed.

But if Scott Sinclair says we're too shit, then i dont think Lita would argue!

It was Chelsea that said that not Sinclair

[The Reverend]

It was Chelsea that said that not Sinclair

Officially.

Do you really think he wanted to come here?

[The Stig]

Building for league 1 already i see

This signing has got league 1 written all over it. We beat Preston to sign him I bet Barca and Man Utd are gutted.

We are signing a promising youngster who will help us build a team for the future, and before you've even seen him play for us you're slagging him off. How is that helpful. Get behind him and support this young player, who for all we know could be a first class player for us in the future.

[BigGibbo]

He's got potential If we don't suffocate it we may have a gem on our hands.

Holloway column

The Leicester manager gives his inimitable views on football and life in general in his weekly column.

This week he speaks of his delight at being in a relegation battle, talks about why the pitch at the Walkers Stadium smells of poo, and looks forward to old rivals Bristol City giving him a 'warm reception'.

He also tells us how he is planning to spend his Summer, how loan signings are causing a problem for him, and how much he is looking forward to seeing one of his former teams on Sky next season.

Thrilling Relegation Dog Fight

"Oh yes, its a fight to the death! Squeeky posterior time, I think Glenn Hoddle called it. Milan said to me he could here squeeking coming from my posterior every time I talk now, so we must be in trouble!! Now I know why. Still we are getting better and I'm convinced we won't finish bottom. I promised Milan we would get to the play offs but I never said which division, or for that matter, which year! Lovely jubbly.

In all seriousness we scored four times against Preston and they scored once. Its just that fella with the flag decided to hold it up every time we scored. Bazza was delighted though cos he thought we won 4-1. Bless him! Still, he thinks he's still playing for Plymouth- it's old age you see, does that to you."

Whats the strange smell at the Walkers?

"Oh dear it does smell doesn't it! I thought I was coming to a big Premiership club when I got here- the facilities and the stadium are world class. The pitch would make it hard for a Sunday league team to play football on. Obviously, I realised the players were sh!te but didn't realise it would make the pitch smell so bad. Apparantly, every time the opposition strikers run at our defenders they sh!t themselves! Naughty boys. I've tried everything- buying new defenders, nappies, even tried to 'coach' them. It's not working!

Anyway, I know I've got the full support of Milan because he said its down to the sh!t football the team is playing. It supports my theory that keeping the ball on the deck won't work cos it will get covered in sh!t and the ref won't like that, will he? Here, ref, have the ball. (Much chuckling ensues) Thats why we punt it as far in the air as possible, up to a big lanky thug like Howard.

Still we are in the sh!t so its quite apt when you think about it!"

Facing Bristol City

"I've been looking forward to this more than a certain badger in a certain season! I hope the City fans give me as good a reception as the Green Army did. I'm hoping they have some chants about me too! I might even sing along to them. Old Bulpin and Pen were singing along with the Plymouth fans and I loved every minute of it.

Anyway, I was desperate to get to the Premiership so I might have a little word with the Bristol chairman. Even though I'm Rovers through and through, I'm sure they'll forgive me for going to City. With my track record I'm sure they'll want me after all. Premiership here I come!"

Summer Holidays

"I can't wait! I might even be jobless by then, with no pressures to worry me, no transfer dealings, no hassle from the Chairman. I think the wife wants to go abroad but I would really like to go to Plymouth. What a place that is- the sun always shines, walks on the Hoe. Magnificent! I can't wait to catch up with my old mates the Green Army! Hopefully, they'll be in the Premiership by then, so if I don't get the City job I'll ask my old Chairman if I can have my job back. After all I got them to where they are now. Without me they'd probably be in the Jewson South Western League. In fact I was so convinced we'd end up there I signed Samba and Fallon for that very eventuality.

I can't wait, lovely Summer day walking along the Hoe. I expect I'll meet up with my old mates Norris and Sylv then too. Well, Sylv, might be in Princetown but it'll be nice to see him, anyway. In fact talking of those two, I might become an agent. I'm good at organising transfers and I like taking other people's money, so that could work well. Superb!"

Loan Signing Problems

"My last resort really! I just see who's available for loan and take them. At least one per week. It doesn't matter who they are or where they've been, really. As long they have two legs and a pulse, I'll give them a game. Its worked a treat so far, to be honest. I think we have 70 players on our books at the moment. I've told Milan we might need another team manager as its impossible for me to tell all of them what to do!

I told him Paul Sturrock is a good manager but Milan had never heard of him. He told me to shut my little mouth and get us out of this mess we are in. I think he thinks I'm Hardie and he's Laurel! The laughs me and, my best mate, Milan have!!"

Watching Plymouth on Sky

"I've had some lovely letters from the Green Army recently. Some of them have recommended where I might like to stick my book, and some have even sent it back to me. One of the letters spoke about 'irony'. I wasn't sure what that is, so I phoned up my old Chairman, Mr Stapleton, who gave a pretty good example in language I could understand.

He said "Olly, its like when you have a Manager of a overperforming football team, who has promised his best players lots of nice things, but can't deliver them and knew that all along. The manager runs away to get his own pot of gold, at the first opportunity, leaving the football club in a right mess, with several unhappy players. Luckily, for that football club, there is a more astute, sensible, intelligent and successful Manager waiting to come in and lead that team to overperform even more, against all the odds.

Meanwhile, the manager who left, thinking he was going to get success on a plate, has to learn that you have to work hard for it and can't necessarily buy it. Unfortunately, that scheming little runt doesn't want to work hard, so he just buys over the hill players and gets them playing hoofball and they slide down the league. That, compadre, is 'irony'."

Before I could say 'thank you very much' he told me to "p" off and slammed the phone down! Top bloke! Anyway, I am hoping if they go up that I can at least watch them on Sky alot next season. I doubt I'll have much else to do!"

That is quite funny in places!!

But what's even funnier is that Plymouth fans are STILL bitter that Ollie left, even though they are in a better position!!! Top draw!!

[Rich Fox]

Signed

I think we could sign christiano ronaldo and he would be crap playing for lcfc we a like a grave yard for professional footballers and whoever signs for us is doomed for eternity.

[Rich Fox]

They aren't stupid, if we go down Kissa will leave and Worley will take his place. They are planning just if worse comes to worst.

You are talking as if kisnorbo is mr wonderfull. He is shite and would probably be better off in league 2. Just hope this kid is better.

[lildave3]

Yay. Pleased by the signing, really puts pressure on McAuley and Kisnorbo to keep it up.

Bruno on way out surely.

[Durnerz]

Comes with a decent pedigree from a respectable level. I'm all for this, lets just hope he develops in the right way along with the rest of our young starlets.

[Rich Fox]

Yay. Pleased by the signing, really puts pressure on McAuley and Kisnorbo to keep it up.

Bruno on way out surely.

Thought bruno did ok against Preston

[The Reverend]

You're probably right there...

[lildave3]

Thought bruno did ok against Preston

Well, if Worley turns out to be half decent I can see him being 4th choise.

He won't like that one bit, so I imagine he will leave in the summer.

[lookwhaticando]

We should have a shirt number sweepstake... I reckon he'll get number 1.

[Manwell Pablo]

Some of Chelseas in the know fans rate him, they thought at one point he might make the grade.

Not seen him myself who knows.

[Samilktray]

Well, if Worley turns out to be half decent I can see him being 4th choise.

He won't like that one bit, so I imagine he will leave in the summer.

Hmph.

I still rate Bruno higher than Mcauley so he i can see him being 3rd choice... maybe.

[Joe.]

Nah, I think this spells the end for Bruno too. Age isn't exactly on his side...

I can see Worley being third choice centre back next season assuming McAuley and Kisnorbo will stay. I'm still having doubts about Kisnorbo's future though, I do fear a better club will come in for him in the summer.

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

Very odd signing

[Bryn]

Very odd signing

Why?

[Stevosevic]

He was on the bench in the community shield in August, couldn't have been that far down the pecking order, could be a good signing, have to wait and see.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Does this Signing have a touch of Nicholas Priet about it
