Aljofree has no care for Town after Latics move
8:40am Tuesday 9th February 2010
HASNEY Aljofree admits he is unconcerned about Swindon’s plight now, as the defender looks to get his career back on track with Oldham.
The 31-year-old had his County Ground contract terminated last week before promptly signing for the Latics, and could feature tonight as the two sides clash in League One.
Aljofree is no stranger to pulling on Oldham’s blue and white shirt following a loan spell with the club in 2007, and is now fully focused on pulling his new employers away from the drop zone.
“I have been out for just over a year and I just can’t wait to get back to playing football again,” he said. “Obviously, it (the position in the table) could be better. But we have got games in hand and if you get one win, that can soon snowball for you.
“The lads are all sound and the manager Dave Penney has them all in high spirits.
“I saw it (the Swindon game) on the fixture list and sometimes football brings these sorts of things around. But I am not concerned about Swindon now and my focus is on Athletic.”
Former Plymouth and Bolton man Aljofree hasn’t played a first team game since December 2008 due to a serious knee injury. But he is confident of getting back to full fitness and believes Oldham was the right move to make.
“I have never been injured before and having a year out of the game is mental torture.
“The rehab process was a very slow one and a lot goes through your mind. I am just glad I am out of the woods now.
“Working with the surgeon and the fitness coach at Swindon I made sure that everything was done right.
“I had been looking for a move for a couple of months and had a few offers here and there. But I wanted to make sure the deal was right.”

Oh, and Hasney a word or two of thanks for the way Town have got you fit again to rebuild your career wouldn't have gone amiss.
Can't see you getting a warm welcome this evening somehow.

"Danny Wilson had moulded a fantastic team...He has done well and long may it continue...but only after tomorrow's match as I am now an Oldham Athletic player.
"After the game I will shake hand and speak to my friends but, come the game, is all about getting three points for Oldham"
It's funny how editing what someone says can completely change the tone and sentiment behind it.

Why would he focus on us anymore, he's got a new club. Nothing story. Best of luck, shame it never worked out for you here.
i for one will not be giving him a welcome back round of applause tonight...... big time charlie wannabe.

I won't be booing HA this evening, never a favourite player of mine, but he has moved on and that's the end of it.
Come on you reds I'd take a 1-0 at the moment, but hoping for 3 Swindon goals this evening.

Listening to Radio 5 last night talking how 90% of clubs cold go bust. Not that I haven't realised it but its just incredible to support the Town at the moment. The world is good and the only way is up.
ps how are Colchester allowed to play on that pitch? its like going back to the 70's!

Oi Den for 1963 read 2010 bar the miserly defence!! Brillaint. Listening to Radio 5 last night talking how 90% of clubs cold go bust.

I was very impressed with Tilson's refusal to blame the surface, despite the Sky people trying to put words into his mouth and suggesting to John Ward (Col U assistant manager) that Southend would be likely to blame the pitch!

A return ticket after that to get you into Swindon before games is over £120 which is disgusting. Not to mention getting back after game. Hope you can make it tonight as think it'll be good chance to get 3 points and town play well with big crowds.

Any player who represents a club should be 100% focussed on the club they play for, not a former employee.

It's cheaper (About £20 from memory) than going from Paddington to Swindon or vice versa.

I think it's safe to say we got under his skin that day. Good player though, plus he's the jammy b'stard whose CROSS flew over Lucas' head & into the net at Boundary Park this season. It was a very late equaliser too - ring any bells??????!!!!!!
