Jussi Jaaskelainen to leave BWFC

[Lord Kangana]

Sell Jussi and next problem will be keeping Bogdan happy

If you're right that Ali has 6 years, Bogdan won't wait that long

If Al Habsi has managed to nail down his place to such an extent, and we're still in the Premier League in 6 years, it really won't matter.

yeah.. but you know CAPS - he's just a born worrier!

[Riviman]

It pains me to say it but I think the time is now right for Jussi to move on, with Ali taking over as number 1 and Bogdan on the bench. Jussi has been a fantastic keeper and on his day is as good as anyone unfortunately a few too many errors are starting to creep in.

Jussi for another 18 months or Ali for another 8 years?

Jussi to leave because we've got an abundance of quality? No thanks. He's been a great servant to the club an hopefully we've treated him like one. I. Don't think he can consider his position to be his alone as we've got to have a transitional phase sooner or later. But should he want to stay he's more than welcome to as far as I'm concerned. Goalkeeping coach anyone?

That means asking him to retire from football and take a drop in wages when he feels he isn't ready too quit

That would be lunacy asking him to retire and quit football. What i'm suggesting is start taking up the responsibility of bringing through the next set of talent that will carry on his legacy at the club. After all when Jussi retires it would still be nice to see him around the club and town as he's been quite an integral part of what we've been trying to achieve for the past decade.

It would be nice to see him and Gardner at the club every now and again after they retire. It's always a pleasure to see Bergsson and McGinley coming back and Gardner and Jussi are no different.

I'd like Jussi to stay, I have a feeling however he might be eyeing up the vacant role left by Edwin Van Der Sar (which I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to be at United so he could try for CL) but I would love Jussi to come back to the club in some form or another.


For next season, it's Jussi keeps his number one spot. Al-Habsi as number 2 and Bogdan out on loan. We need to know if Al-Habsi will come good for the club on a consistent basis. Guess we'll only find that if Jussi starts making mistakes, fingers crossed that won't happen. Doubt we can afford another season with Al-Habsi away.

It's a tough call that Owen Coyle has got but i'm sure its one that many managers would love to have.

[TKIZ!]

If Jussi goes to ManUre I wouldn't begrudge him, Ali has to be given a chance or personally I think we could rue letting him leave on the 'cheap'

[thebish]

I doubt ManU will be looking to Jussi to replace Van Der Sar....

I also suspect that the grass has grown a bit under Jussi's feet - he's comfortable at Bolton - does he really want the challenge of proving himself all over again at a new club?

[TKIZ!]

Probably not, Bish.

DSB...wouldn't Ali have to re apply for his work permit

Or have I missed something


Anyway, keep Jussi and fcuk Davies off

don't forget, two keepers, and that's two lots of wages we have to pay

Hasn't Al-Habsi qualified for a British passport now?

Can we please stop regurgitating this nonsense - on the wages players are on these days they are NOT effing servamts!! Sorry -rant over

[seanworth]

A lot of players like to return to their own country to play a final season or two. Unfortunately Jussi is Finish, and probably has no interest to play there. His club is Bolton full stop. Still these types of decisions must be made by clubs every year. If we make the decision to let him go, I hope it is done with a bit of class.

Juicy was crap in goal agaisnt Kamara and McGuinness on Soccer AM. Bin him!

He becomes a British citizen this year. He's been here five years, biding his time. Hard to twiddle your thumbs in goalie gloves...

I read that as oven gloves for some reason

[aussie_wanderer]

get lost keep jussi. not all his fault. our defence and mids are responsible 2

[HMX]

I haven't blamed Jussi much at all this season as he doesn't deserve it - I just feel it could be time for Ali to come back and be number 1. We'll see how Coyle approaches this situation.

[aussie_wanderer]

guna be alot of changes in the off season.
