Hollands is a Robin

Paolo Di Canio has borrowed Danny Hollands for the rest of the year, the club’s website have confirmed.

The 27-year old has been shipped to the League One side Swindon Town because he surplus to requirements at the Valley, despite taking part in 14 games for Charlton this season.

It will be quite a difference when Danny pulls into training, from the cool, calm and collected Chris Powell dishing out advice in a civilised way, to Di Canio screaming wildly in his face for misplacing a pass, but at least Hollands will be able to use his League One experience to help the Robins fly to the top.

The last bit of business the two clubs undertook was the deal to bring Leon Clarke to the capital after he was involved in an on-field bust up with Di Canio and his staff, something I’m sure Hollands will be all too aware of.

Good luck, Danny.
