Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has refused to be drawn on whether experienced midfielder Richie Wellens is to go out on loan.

Wellens has been the subject of speculation that he could go out on loan again as he bids to return to full fitness after a knee injury.

Reports suggested that five clubs had expressed an interest in taking the midfielder on a temporary basis.

But Pearson refused to be drawn on his plans for Wellens, other than to say he was now fully fit.

"We are not running on a massive squad. You will have to wait and see on that one."

Wellens spent the end of last year on loan at Ipswich Towm before returning to City.

    “Dorset yes we are consistent so lets just agree to differ in our opinions. I have said in the past I don't know what Fred Flintstone or Flintoff or Truman or even Fred the frog off Fools and Horses have to do with anything. In other words what on earth are you talking about. I get on with most on here now and even the ones I didn't like AW or Coalville fox actually have turned out to be top notch so lets bury the hatchet so to speak and try at least to co exist.”

    “Foxfan1, totally agree with your post, a good servant to the club, a honest professional in my opinion.”

    “dob
    my mails to you are entirely consistent as are yours.
    You need reminding that when you repromand others for their language on here you are by far the worst. But I think you do that deliberately to remain the focus of attention.( as fred did)
    Just in the last few days you were generalising that folk on here are ''idiots and thickos.''
    i am not insulting you- just reminding you of how you are and that you have no right to criticise others for the same.

    as for Ritchie- I would like to see him stay this season- yes injuries may have slowed him a little but if he does put on the blue shirt he wont let us down”

    “I think what we have to remember is that we bought Richie very late in his career...he's been an excellent servant, but at his age he'll surely want regular football in the twilight of his playing days. I know some would be mercenary & hang around just for the wage packet, but Wellens doesn't strike me as one of those players ....
    Its hard to see him being a regular again, given the current progress the team are making, but good luck to him in whatever the future holds for him.....”

    “Re you Dorset I have changed somewhat but I doubt you ever will. Ill admit I've not been too good in the past but past is past. I've seen your vicious arguments with people in the past and they've been rather consistent. Best bet is Re my posts that you keep your council and if it doesn't sound too argumentative that you mind your own business and in future ill ignore yours as they are no loss to anyone”

    “Appreciated golfer I don't want to fall out with anyone either. Really gracious of you to say that. that's the mark of a real man and I take back all my comments. I was going to watch Coalville Town Saturday as they are flying this season but weather permitting I guess. Ill go if it's on.”

    “AlanPrichard, you are quite right.

    Whilst I often disagree with dobranich's comments, he has every right to express his opinions. And although he has often goaded me and others, I mean him no ill.

    So for any offence I have caused you Mr Dobranich, you have my apologies.

    On the subject of Wellens, going out on loan to get some game time will do him, or us for that matter no harm.”

    “Dob
    reference your comment re 'foul and abusive language'

    You regularly call fellow posters 'thick'o 'and 'idiots' and incidentally have a superior intellect complex
    have made offensive sexual slurs about people from Coalville
    implied physical violence to FF1

    in my view you should not be on the site.”

    “back to the football. I have looked critical of Richie and I have said his legs have gone but I think in past times he has been a real stalwart at this club. I wish him luck for the future and hope he finishes his footballing days happy uninjured and fit.”

    “Alan I don't want to fall out with anyone. It is not me using the foul and abusive language and the childish name calling. Get your money on him. He is using more foul language than everyone who has been on here in six months. put a fiver on him for me too please.”
