Town Linked With Move for Leicester's Gallagher Sunday, 6th May 2012 15:15
Town are reported to have made a £750,000 bid to Leicester for striker or winger Paul Gallagher. The 27-year-old impressed as a second-half sub in the Foxes’ recent 2-1 victory over the Blues at Portman Road.
Gallagher was born in Glasgow but brought up in Blackburn and joined his local club as a youngster. While with Rovers he spent time on loan at Stoke (twice), Preston and Plymouth before joining Leicester for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2009. He is contracted until the summer of 2015.
Capped once by Scotland at full level, Gallagher, who is 6ft tall, has made 99 starts and 30 sub appearances since joining the Foxes and has scored 28 goals.
Gallagher’s wife Hayley recently gave birth to premature twins, one of whom, son Luca, died, while daughter Ava remains in intensive care.
Excited by this one. Quality player proven at this level. Would fit it in well on the left of a front three. Has a very good right foot, we'd be sorted for freekicks and penalties. SIGN HIM UP CLEGG!
Great Player , would be a great signing , always impressed with him when ive seen him play , how people can say they wouldnt want him is laughable . 27yr is a perfect age as well ! GoalScoring Midfield !
This guy has a good goal return for somebody who has predominantly been used as a winger in his career. Versatile and gives us options, I don't buy into some people's ideas that we don't need to invest in attacking options, we have 2 out-and-out strikers in Chopra and Scotland (I don't include Ellington whats the point) and Murray clearly isn't of a championship standard at this time in his career. Strength in depth and competition, good age and decent return at a decent price, here's to him signing up.
fair enough 8 goals in 18 games n 10 sub appearances this season but his career average isnt impressive at all. We'll need some physical presence next season from somewhere as we are loosing Murph, Gallagher wont give you that
He is a playmaker, I would love to get him. People moan about us just buying has beens, but now people moan that Gallagher hasnt been anywhere in his career, make your minds up..
No thanks.....unless PJ is planning on buying benchwarmers or maybe our amazing defensive coaching team are going to convert him to a centre back....as i thought that was our priority ...apparantley not then......
Not a bad shout at all, The sort of player we need. 6 foot tall has a goals in him, Is the sort of player that would work hard for the team, can play either down the middle or in the vacant wide left slot. Good to see were looking to do business at this early stage.
Really good championship player. Very pleased we are linked or have made a bid, but we will get laughed at offering Leicester £750,000 for him it's not enough I doubt.
