Leicester City ace Paul Gallagher denies rift with Nigel Pearson

“Gally is an expensive luxury.

More culture than anyone else in the squad, but poor team ethic, no aggression in the air or when tackling and too long out of the action.

Great free kick and penalty specialist but will look good only in a lower placed Championship team or in the lower leagues.

We now have Marshall who makes Gally redundant, until he is injured.”

“Gallagher glad see back of nothing but bottler. Hope it becomes permanent”

“This month long move appears the best all round for those involved and I hope it leads to a permanent deal. Gallagher needs the games but he isn't going to get them at Leicester on a regular basis.”

“" to play in front of a crowd like this is every footballers dream " I QUOTE !! not the size he's on about is it ? the size of lcfc crowds are bigger (home and away) so not many lcfc players have HIS dream . his dream should be to play at lcfc nowhere else . he's resigned himself to finding another club imo . please use grey matter when reading players quotes , it helps . SIZE ? Yeah right your not a licker by any chance ?”

“Roll on Sunday. We need something new to talk about!”

“I am not NP bashing, or player bashing,

You know that in a squad of 25 - only 11 can start,
I know that in a squad of 25 - only 11 can start,
pretty much everyone can work out that in a squad of 25 only 11 can start.

So it would seem that when a player signs for a club - nowhere in his contract does it state that he will start regardless of form or fitness, or even system on the day. There is no such thing as a guaranteed place - any player must know that. A good manager can assess his staff and potential staff, just like a good interview board can assess candidates. There will always be the odd person who signs on the dotted line then moans when things don't go their way.

SSL is a classic example - he signed into a big squad, with competition for places then went public about his ROI place - he should have knuckled down and earned his starting place - to his credit when NP arrived that's precisely what he appeared to do - even if he did capitalise on Mill's fall out of favour.

I think Gally knows he has fallen down the pecking order and is just adding credence to this loan move. I don't think he's a moaner. What I am saying is that it does appear to be a trend amongst players to sign up to something then expect to be playing every match regardless of their performance, form, and fitness in relation to the other squad members.

True it happens at every club - but when a manager interviews a potential target and shows him around the club - he must be able to assess whether the player has the right character to try and earn his place or if he'll just whine about not playing.

On one note - none of these players moan about their wages - when they aren't playing.
They can obviously live on their basic salary without bonuses. Lucky them.

Good luck to Gally and I hope he either wins his place back and is an asset to this club, or impresses and gets the move he wants.”

“Chappy I think if you followed the daily 'ins and outs' of any football club you'd find an awful lot of 'frustrated with lack of first team opportunities' stories within all of them.

The average squad is 25 players. That means that in each club around 14 players will NOT be in the starting 11. Most of these are not gonna be happy about that.

We are no different to any other club in that respect.

Some fans just use any old excuse to lay into the Manager. But I think that hating the manager is probably a common feature at a lot of clubs as well. I was on a Bolton fans' forum the other day to see how Mill5y was doing - and one of their fans referred to Owen Coyle as "Captain Clueless"!! We have similar FFans who do the same – mentioning no names. And when Redknapp left Spurs I read lots of comments about how inept he was from Spurs fans…

The grass is always greener…”

“The quality of this newspaper is very poor indeed. Its full of minor errors such as the caption under the photo. If the LM is to be taken seriously as a local newspaper then these errors should stop now, otherwise circulation will continue to fall and criticism will be rife on forums such as this. PROOF READ BEFORE PUBLICATION!!”

“Gally is a bit of an enigma...can be technically brilliant at times, but can also go missing a bit when the going gets tough. Bottom line is, given his recent personal family tradegy of losing a baby, we should all be wishing him the very best of luck regardless...”

“LCFC18018

We have played pretty well in all 4 games -
Some teams have the ability to play badly and still get a result.
Playing well is one thing - being effective is another.
We aren't effectve - we are often affected, too much so.

The fact it's a cliche - meant only that I've heard it too many times from players who have fallen to the fringes - his attitude to being dropped to the fringes maybe did provoke this comment, some may say he should work harder rather than come out with cliches,

but surely the manager who brought him here should have seen this potential character flaw when he signed him. I don't think his attitude is bad, he just wants to play football and in reality he has droped down the pecking order and his confidence is not the best after what he's been through. If his loan does him good and he comes back and stakes his claim for a place then it's been worth it, and if he's still out of the picture - well then it's up to NP.”
