ExeterCityLoyal Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 Exeter fan in peace... What's the news on Oakley? We were told that he had returned to Leicester due to injury, and that he'd be out for a number of weeks, till the middle of January at least, but there's rumours going around twitter that he's signed for Oadby Town (who?).. It's even been retweeted by Oadby Town themselves... Can anyone shed any light on this? Cheers.

I know he's not going to be tearing up the Championship table anytime soon, but he could certainly do a job for a year so in Lg1 & 2
ExeterCityLoyal Posted 2 January 2012 Author Posted 2 January 2012 I really rated him here, and had a great understanding with David Noble. Was gutted when he got injured and was made to return to The Walkers... Do think it's bad of LCFC if they have lied to us about how long he was meant to be injured for... Especially as he was keen on staying on till the end of the season, and we were loving him down here.

It'd be terrible if that happened quite a few fans (well, brain dead morons) don't like him because he played for Derby & waved at the their fans who applauded him. there were some games where his limitations were exposed, but he never stopped trying & there was many great performances too
jonlcfc1990 Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 Unless Matt Oakleys injury is brain damage this oadby town move must be an April fools! I honestly still rated him as a football league player but if it's what he wants good luck to the guy he was quality IMO
cc_star Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 It'd be terrible if that happened, I presume he's on reasonable money and (no offence intended) more than you could afford so we were possibly subsiding him being with you But the drop to local football is bizarre, Like I said he could play lg1 or 2 footie I'd have thought quite a few fans (well, brain dead morons) don't like him because he played for Derby & waved at the their fans who applauded him. there were some games where his limitations were exposed, but he never stopped trying & there was many great performances too
ExeterCityLoyal Posted 3 January 2012 Author Posted 3 January 2012 He'd easily do a job for us at League 1 level, like he was doing. The 6 games he was here, I don't think we lost. I hope it's someone having a mess-about, and that he gets back to fitness, and comes back on loan, till the end of the season, at least.
ajthefox Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 there's no way he's playing for Oadby town, they're in the 10th tier of English football!
accessory Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 Barnsley are tracking him.... ;0) We could swap him for Jacob Butterfield!
EnderbyFox Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 I'd start him in the leicester team... Oakley..is that you?
Gold Coast Fox Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 Oadby is my local team during my stay in England! Maybe il see him around
Antonio85 Posted 4 January 2012 Posted 4 January 2012 Quality player when fit, still had a career to be proud of

I hope it's someone having a mess-about, and that he gets back to fitness, and comes back on loan, till the end of the season, at least. 7 Games. Lost 2-0 against Bury. He scored an OG. Lost 4-0 against Huddersfield. Didn't lose any in his next 5 though. Including a 4-4 draw at Sheffield United. I dont think we'll be messing you around. With the amount of CM's we have Im sure Nigel would be more than glad to see Matt getting some games on the south coast. Having said that he'll probably start at Forest.
