Bloody hell, talk about January sales

Kevin Horlock has been told he is free to leave Town if another club comes in for the midfielder.

The 33-year-old former Northern Ireland international is out of contract in the summer and Town boss Joe Royle told the Club website: "At the moment there are no plans to offer Kevin a new contract.

"I've spoken to him and said that we are well covered in the midfield department now and that if a club shows an interest in him, we won't stand in his way.

"Making him available now just means he has more chance of getting fixed up with a new club now before the summer where there will be a whole number of players looking for jobs."

Kevin joined Town from West Ham in the summer of 2004 on a two year deal.

Finally some good news coming out of PR!!!

That might be a bit harsh - Horlock was never brought in to do a fancy job and at times has been a useful player - however at other times he has been a part of the slowest midfield in the championship and I guess royle had to see sense sooner or later.

He will never be as bad as Mr Dinning - but I guess horlock won't be remembered as being a legend either!!

There are at least three other Ã‚Â´regulars` that should have this season as a final playing season.I wouldÃ‚Â´nt be in the least bit suprised if they ALL got a renewal of their contracts next season

HOORAY!!!!

Bye bye Kevin (my lookalike apparently!), don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

After his first couple of matches I thought we had finally found someone in midfield who could do some running and put themselves about a bit.

Unfortunately after a few matches this stopped and what we had instead was another passenger in our already overloaded, freeloading midfield!

The number of times I saw Kevin Horlock break out of a jog and burst into a sprint could be counted on the fingers of one finger...never once did I see that c*** break into a sweat, he must've been the kit mans dream...never a mark on his jersey at the end of 90 minutes!

That is it tobes - in order to raise expentancy the club told us they had signed Kevin Horlock when in fact his twin brother the kit man started playing!!!!

Bruce Horlock always showed a passion to keeping it clean - random

Can someone seriously answer me this question?

What was the point in Kevin Horlock?

I mean he never scored goals, he never made tackles, he never supported the defence or the attack, his set pieces were pretty woeful, his passing was average at best...

As Edwin Starr might've sung...

HOR(lock)!

What is he good for?

Absolutely nothing!

(Well apart from draining us of a few grand a week and contributing sweet FA)

Joe has now stated that if Horlock is still here after the window closes then he is still in his first team plans. Now that is good news!!!!
