Scowcroft Switch

James Scowcroft is set to complete a loan move to Ipswich until the end of the season today (Monday).

Craig Levein and Joe Royal agreed a deal on Sunday that allows the 29-year-old striker to return to Portman Road on a temporary basis.

Scowcroft was part of the City starting line up that was defeat 2-1 at the hands of Ipswich in the Championship on Saturday.

The former England under 21 has been with the Foxes since 2001 - hitting the target 28 times in 147 appearances.

Assistant manager Robert Kelly will be speaking about the switch at his Monday lunchtime press briefing. Be sure to tune in later today for further news.

I wonder who we'll be bringing in as replacement...

 

[Durham Fox]

I doubt we will - Might be a way of recouping the over spend. we do look vey light in the forward department though.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Has done us 1 favour this season, scoring in injury time at Reading.

Now fcuk off you carrot cruncher. :smt098

I would say that its a way of cutting our losses and enabling CL to try Connolly & MDV up front for the rest of the season.

Also, it should allow CL to see if he feels Tommy Wright and Chris O'Grady have got what it takes to make the step up from the ressies.

Be nice to see O'Grady involved, I personally rate him more highly than Wright. I fear that Blake will return to fitness soon though and that will hamper any chances of him getting a run out.

 

[Dunc]

Nah, don't think Blake will be involved, it makes no sense from what CL has said he is trying to achieve (ie something long term).

Blake & Scowcroft will both be leaving at the end of the season so it makes little sense to play Blake ahead of 2 young players who might do something next season. If De Vries gets injured then i'd expect Dublin to play as a target man, but aside from that, unless we get a new forward in soon, i think TW will get a few run outs before the end of the season.

I agree it wouldnt make much sense. I would like to see Stearman, Wright, Dawson and O'Grady given chances once we are defo out of contention for the play-offs - ie now!

 

[highland fox]

Good fecking riddance and take that drip Makin with you.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Fck off Scowcroft, fck off scowcroft, fck off scowcroft fck off.

 

[Melton Fox]

I think in true tradition we should remember the positive points about players who leave for pastures new. Here are my fondest memories of James Scowcroft, in no particular order:

a). He left to sign for Ipswich

Good luck, now F.O.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I would like to wish him well - but I goal every 5 games is not exactly scorching is it? Of course putting 3 out o 4 headers over the bar doesn't help!
Maybe Scowie's wages can get us a solid centre-half, I am not convinced Heath/Dabizas/Dublin is the best we can do.

 

[highland fox]

Agree with that,infact 2 solid centre halves would be nice.

 

[drummindefender]

we don't really need cover for scowcroft as if worse comes to worse we could play dion footlong up front

 

[Steven]

Great news. :-D :-D :smt030 :smt030 :smt033 :smt033 :smt041 :smt041 :smt038 :smt031 :smt031 :smt023 ;-)

scowy is a decent player who put in many good performances for us the past 2 and a bit seasons - particularly in the promotion push 2 years ago and although hes tailed off lately he was good for us earlier this season so its pretty sad the lack of people so far with anything good to say about him. its just another part of LCFC culture of always needing players as hate figures.

i think its good for us financially and i think that the club is moving in a direction where we wont be needing him thanks to the signing of de vries and an increased emphasis on younger more mobile players but i think hes been a good servant of the club and i hope he does really well for himself elsewhere
