I'm surprised about the 3year contract thought it was going to be 2, but he's here now so hopefully he will have an impact straight away. I've got a feeling he is going to be a good signing.

Assuming Holden comes back & recaptures even 80% of his form & Mavis stays then I fear for Pratters. After all the good work he did last year too !!

Given Coyle's pig-headedness, particularly in relation to his own signings - who knows?

mmmmm. A distressingly valid point.

Do you think Pratters can tackle ? Full-backs are always wanted. Or that #2 keeper vacancy ?

Andrews is a very good signing, I think. I like him a lot.

Chuffed with Andrews tbh. At the least he seems to have some level of consistency (Pratley, Mavies i'm looking at you!) if not quite the same level of talent as the latter . He also seems to be less of a gamble then throwing a relatively untested Vela, or a 'maybe, might be fit' Holden into the deep end from the off. Would be nice to have options at the middle and I feel Andrews is a solid, if not quite an inspiring, signing and hopefully Coyle is able to continue to adapt the squad to the gritty, determined championship mould whilst keeping some of his tippy tappy principles intact.

What are you basing this on?

I've heard nothing but bad things about Andrews, admittedly from our friends up the road.

I haven't seen him play much though, have you?

Hodgson signed him January last season and he played 14 times for West Brom. Purely on that basis I suspect he will be ok if not spectacular.

As a Prem side this would be a pretty depressing signing.

In the champ it's probably a relatively big coup to get someone with premiership and international experience.

That's the reality of where we are I guess.

Lord Kangana · Post by **Lord Kangana** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:31 pm

The reality is we'd have probably signed him whichever division. Thats the reality of where we are. And despite all the self flagellation, we need players to get promoted from the Championship this season. Absolutely nothing else matters.

Ah, good, good. I always feel like the site dimwit as soon as we sign anyone as I won't know anything of them whatsoever. I'm sure that there'll have been people on here claiming to know all about Dwight Pezzarossi when we signed him.

Mark Davies being linked with a 6M move to Liverpool in the mirror (not Nixon). I will start the engine for that sort of fee.

Lord Kangana · Post by **Lord Kangana** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:54 pm

Is he in contract talks by any chance?

Being born in Castlebar haha (Mums Irish, Dads a Bolton-er, I now live in Leeds, go figure

)
Ok, seriously i've probably seen him play 20 times (few times against Bolton, twice in Irish friendlies on mi jollies and of course MOTD). Out of those perfomances he's probably shone in a half dozen of em but against that i've never seen him have to much of a mare or seen him as a liability. Do I think i've seen him enough to give a full scouts guide to his strengths/weaknesses? not really but enough to think (or more hope) that he'll add something to the side. It's the time of year to be positive WW, you can pull me up in 12 months time if (when) it all goes balls up

Usually I recognise the name but can't put it to the face!

I'd be surprised if any Bolton fan could.

Mark Davies? Contracted till 2015, so I doubt it.

If liverpool want davies he is off. Can see him being a brendan rogers player. £6mil for someone with no end product will do for me...

No firm offer yet. £6m is a lot to consider

they can fck-off. 3 years left on his contract, young, English.

Lerpool are constantly linked with loads of players in the £12m - £15m backet (though more to appesase the fans I think, as they never seem to get them). So if they want Mavis £6m is just the starting price. £12m or fck off scouser. If you haven't got it then go & rob it.

I can imagine how underwhelmed their stupid fans would be with Mavis as a purchase. Still dreaming of Xavi, Iniesta. I even saw Pirlo being mentioned this week. Still living the dream over there. Their reality is different & Rodgers will be there to start finding bargains & getting them playing while the fans don't notice the lowering of fees wages & expectations.

I do wonder tho. if Andrews means Cptn. Chaos is looking to cash in. If we do then at least max the value.
