The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread

[Jugs]

Sordell scores three goals in two pre-season games and people are selling sell him? Deary me.

I don't really see Spearing as a priority, Medo IMO is a better player and if Eagles is playing off the striker most games we only need 1 other CM, With Pratley, Holden, Andrews, Vela and Mavies (when fit) do we need to be spending money on Spearing.I wonder if a loan is still possible it would suit Bolton and Spearing more than a move permenent.


I think Dawson should be the main target, we were such a different side with him in last year.

He tweeted the other day "I have absolutely zero luck" with a sad face thing. So if there's an injury, we should assume its him. I'd have assumed it was him before seeing that tweet in fairness.

shrewsbury seem to think that before the injury, they were lined up for loaning Riley - so it doesn't look like he figured in our immediate plans anyway...

...an injury which Graham Turner is describing as ligament damage. Poor Joe.

I know we're saving money these days, but when did we make Graham Taylor our spokesman ??

I know it was only Dan but I was shocked at that.

If we're hoping Dougie can get the best out of Beckford where Leicester failed, then surely we should hang onto a guy who cost us what he did, and with a record he had before he joined?

Tom Eaves scored a hat-trick in a pre-season friendly the season we bought him - against us. Don't necessarily think that put him in the must buy at all costs bracket. Similar with Sordell, pre-season friendlies one thing, season proper, completely another.

At the minute, we have Cravies, Beckford, N'gog, Eaves, Sordell and Odelusi. Of those, Freedman has picked Cravies and Beckford, so you start to wonder if he's going to look to cash in on either Sordell or N'gog (as the other two may not attract much cash)

Absolutely. Bolton fans frighten me sometimes with their opinions on our strikers. I remember reading on here several years ago when we had Anelka that we should sell him and replace him with David Healy because Healy is more of a team-player.

I've no idea whether Sordell will take his pre-season form into the league but to cry 'sell him' after he scores a few goals is a bit extreme.

If we could sell Sordell and use the money to buy Dawson I don't think anyone would think twice.

I think being made to feel important and being cuggled a lot is the key to Sordell doing well .... oh, & being about 180m further South.

Well argued, but I still deal in Imperial. They were miles.

Bloody HR. Get him on a non-performance report with a must do better. What's the world coming to?

Sounds like a typical Bolton fans' reaction. Sell the guy who's scoring a few goals.

[Prufrock]

Swapping Dawson fro Sordell is not even nearly the same as swapping Anelka for Healy! I like Sordell, but I'd rip your hand off for Dawson instead.

It's about prioritising though, we have an abundance of strikers. If Sordell is the best of them then great. But I highly doubt he is. A second choice striker is less critical than a proper centre half for us right now.

[Jugs]

West Ham had an abundance of strikers two years ago and they went up because they had strength-in-depth. When someone wasn't scoring, someone else came in.

I agree we need defensive cover. If we have to shift a striker, I'd sooner let someone like Ngog go who has mostly looked hopeless in front of goal his entire career.

At least Sordell has shown, to me at least, that he has a finish in him. He looks more of a natural striker.

We need more than defensive cover. We need defensive quality.

Ngog is currently leagues ahead of Sordell. And they aren't that far apart in age. Sordell may have progressed. We shall see when the season starts. But there is a lot to add to his game before he will be a regular for us IMO.
