http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wa ... Wanderers/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?

FORMER Liverpool and Wolves winger Adam Hammill is training with Wanderers in the hope of earning a contract.

The Bolton News understands the 27-year-old, released by Huddersfield Town in the summer, is looking for a short-term contract with the Whites.

Neil Lennon has already offered a trial to ex-Newcastle United man Shola Ameobi and is expected to offer the Nigeria international a deal until the end of the season.

Heskey and Ameobi? Why stop there? What's Ade Akinbiyi doing? Let's get together the full triumvirate of late 90s pish.

That it's going to lose its mind

Never heard of him... but he's played a fair bit at this level so might be decent-enough backup for Wellington and/or Feeney.

Aye, but they weren't in the twilight of their careers. Shola is 34 this month.

RE: Hammill. We've been linked with him before. Good player.

And has a criminal record so Lennon's all over him like a rash!
Could be a good signing this, he was highly rated at barnsley and I'm not going to blame him for being shit at Wolves.
Iles reckons Ameobi's getting a deal til the end of the season, fair enough. At least it stops the humiliation of being turned down by various shithouses.

I see your point but it does feel a bit "1.55am in Cinderellas Rockefellas".

aye - you're right - as reported by that eager young puppy, Puskas, back in those heady days of July 2014...

A very good manager once made his name here with signings a bit like this. Just saying. Sadly I don't think our manager is close to that calibre yet.

here's what Lenny says about Ameobi...
Lenny wrote: "He is a name but I look at the quality of the player,” “He has freedom of contract and is available so it is worth having a look at. If we like what we see there might be business to be done.

“Obviously his age, early thirties, comes into consideration but he’s been around the highest level for a while now and he’s got a really good pedigree.

“He’s got that physical presence and experience as well so when a player of that quality comes on to the market, he is always worth a look.

“He’s only on trial, hasn’t signed. We’re thankful he’s come in and given us that chance to have a look at him and obviously he’s thankful to get the opportunity to show what he can do.

“For a big guy he’s got quite good skill and he’s got that nous around the pitch that I think we’ve lacked a little bit.

“But I think it’s well worth us having a look at him and him having a look at us.”

so... it can't harm to have a look!

he's got physical presence... skill... nous... pedigree.... experience....

(also - by the way - did we mention it... errr... he's a freebie - not including wages!)

That, always says to me that a player's a fecking oaf, and that someone's trying to make excuses for them by way of their size.

But it's nice to feel wanted DSB. We've tried and failed to get back with the ex, been turned down by the in-crowd and now are seeking comfort with someone of a certain age.

Plus it's not as bad as 4:55 in Cafe Benidorm, which I've done.

Finishing at 06:30 in Gibraltar casino after starting at 01:00 the day before on route to Manchester airport. Then having to get back on it at 12:00. That was character development.

Which players?

Unwanted players like Charlton, Barness, SKD – none were in their thirties.

Thirtysomething legends like Hierro and NGotty – Ameobi ain't that.

Warhurst cost £800,000.

Perhaps at a stretch Ameobi is the Ian Marshall de nos jours.
