I wouldn't mind Barry Robson heading in the same direction,seen him quite a lot this season,would be that attacking midfielder we need IMO

You mean opposite direction.

My cousin highly rates Robson. Though my cousin is an Aberdeen fan.

Aye and that:icon_wink:icon_lol: He's a good player but many on here will no doubt be put off by the fact that he plays in the SPL,Chris Burke at Rangers would be another I wouldn't mind

I just wonder whether Eric's ankle will stand up to those hard Scottish pitches, not to mention the tackles. :icon_conf Still Levein knows what he's doing I suppose. :icon_roll I'd like to see Derek Riordan moving in the opposite direction myself Highland. :icon_wink

Yes. I'd forgotten about his off field antics, but he seems a good striker, scores them with both feet, too.

This guy is a decent player,seen him play a good few times

Is this a loan or a permanent move?

Wold be a shame to see him move permanently without kicking a first team ball for us!

Celtic offered 75,000 for him. No wonder they knocked it back. If he's any good that's nowhere near enough. Whereabouts in midfield does he play? :icon_conf

Central.The Old firm always do it,get promising players from lower League clubs then wreck their careers.Admittedly some of them turn out to be shite but risking 75K on a player with potential is not a problem for Celtic

A loan. Now on BBC, Ollie doesn't want to lose him:

Leicester City will allow young striker Eric Odhiambo to join SPL side Dundee United on loan for the rest of the season from the start of the New Year.
The 18-year-old has not made his league debut for the Foxes yet, but boss Ian Holloway still sees his future at City.

"Eric is an exciting young fella. He's not somebody I want to lose," Holloway said.

"I am looking forward to the time when he looks ready and feels ready to score some goals for us."

Odhiambo has already spent time on loan this season, making five appearances for League One outfit Southend during September 2007.

I'm a little suprised he's not even been on the bench for us at some stage this season, with Chambers and Sappleton having had a few chances..

Hopefully this loan move will do him good and he'll come back ready to fire in the goals for us next season.

It's very rare that our young lads go out on loan and then return successfully to the club, they usually stay away. Tommy Wright and Chris O'Grady being two recent examples.

I think after this season you could add Louis Dodds to that list too...

Are you sure you're not referring to Elvis Hammond's ridiculous ankle injury? As far as I know, there's sod all wrong with Odhiambo's ankle/s.

Damn it Indie, I was hoping I would get away with that. Both are strikers. Both have a great tan. Both have "ham" in their names, but of course I was thinking of the legendary Hammond ankle. Thanks for pointing that out Indie, I'll always be grateful. :icon_bigg






I really hate these observant bastards like me who love to point out your mistakes.

he was on the bench v West Brom

I'm surprised we haven't got Gradel back tbh

Simply a case of moving the shit on.
