rudemedic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If he is on a good wage, which I think he might be as we were interested in the summer, so they probably out-bid us, it could be decision of the chairman, who wants his wage off his wage bill for financial reasons, maybe the FFP has got them, or maybe it is so they can strengthen elsewhere. I don't tend to fully believe rumours until they are no longer rumours anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjonesyyoafc Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) A couple of rovrum fans on twitter think it would be odd for him to come to us unless they have a replacement already lined up. Ruled out most of the season with injuries and illness. "@miguelinho2910: Latics set to make a signing later today, awaiting paperwork. Midfielder we've been linked with before. Short on match-fitness though #oafc" But the boot fits. Edited January 3, 2014 by iamjonesyyoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've just read that Rovrum are close to taking Anthony Wordsworth on loan from Ipswich, this could free up Worrall to leave and join us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyres_28 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 3 players signed in half an hour. Lockwood is simply an old-boys signing: slow, rubbish and I'd walk out if he plays at Anfield. Harkins is a bearded, lazy sod & another old mate of LJ. Might do the odd wonder back-heel but a waste of a wage & also has had a broken leg since he was 7. Worall isn't good enough for another league one side, and is carrying an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyres_28 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Haha. It was a joke post preparing for the rubbish that will be spouted on here. Class at Bury and our gain in Rotherhams loss if he can get a good run of games in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worall isn't good enough for another league one side, and is carrying an injury. John Sheridan was in non league, slow and some said rubbish ...didn't do bad though while playing here. I see no reason why Lockwood should not do a good job. Harkins has been signed to provide the creativity and experience required..the type of player who usually does well in this division. Worrall has recovered from an hernia operation..could be a very astute signing. Edited January 3, 2014 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"broken leg since he was 7" It was a preview of the rubbish that will be flooding this site during the afternoon. All look interesting signings. Harkins could be the hardest to predict, as the reports of his attitude seem to be coming from each club he has been at, however it is clear he has ability. I would hope LJ will attempt to get him knucking down to the game itself, like JCH, but many other managers look to have failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Harkins will do well, notice how many teams come to BP with players like him who make things tick over nicely in central midfield, they don't dash around but tend to pick out a pass - which is just what LJ is looking for.

dec666 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like Worrall is a winger then rather than a CM. Sounds like we've got a good player if his injury had cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says Rotherham are after Wordsworth at Ipswich, he used to be a cracking player at this level for Colchester, wish we could get someone like him in too.
