Wealing and Dealing at the Walkers

Yep its that time again, for managers and clubs to take out their checkbooks and search for players who make the grade. My club Leicester City will certainly need to be busy this month to have any chance of staying where they are. Dundee Utd have made an offer for young striker Eric Odhiambo to go on loan for the rest of the season. “Eric is an exciting young fella. He’s not somebody I want to lose,” Holloway said. If Holloway doesn’t get rid of Carl Cort in this window, then I will never forgive him. Carl Cort thinks he is a tree. He’s tall and all he does is stand around and do absolutely NOTHING! he can’t even win headers so he has to go. Fortunately I think Ian has seen this which is why he hasn’t been playing many matches lately.

As you can see from the RSS Holloway has started in advance to get the players in and out. We have made an offer for Sunderland goalie Marton Fulop (who is currently on loan with us) and veteran midfielder Graham Kavanagh.”The offer has been made for both players. We like Marton a lot but Sunderland are making some noise that they might take him back.”We are close to completing a deal for Graham,” Mandaric told City’s website. Ian also has his eye on another veteran Barry Hayles from Plymouth, you can see the connection here! He is a striker and has scored 131 goals in 342 games. And last but certainly not least, is the Derby County striker Steve Howard, who has agreed a three and a half year deal with the Foxes. Rumors around both clubs say that the fee is expected to be in excess of £1 Million. “Steve and Barry scored a total of 33 goals between them last season, while off the field they are two of the best characters in the game,” said Holloway.
