You said youngster.. Not academy product. In that case, Mcateer can be discounted as we 'bought' him.

I think the Steinsson "love in" went on for quite a while. All that chest thumping and stuff.

Although I seem to be in a very large minority, I don't think Steinsson's too bad.

Indeed. But I mean we stuck Davies in the team a week after buying him.

Don't think we can claim any part in his development!

Was listeng to Matty Taylor on 5 Live ( he was co-commentator at the Arsenal vs Bolton League Cup Match ) he said Klasnic was the most natural finisher he'd ever played with.
I've been watching Bolton over 30 years and for me he's up there with Worthy, Walker, McGinley & Anelka. Just hope now he's nearly 100% match fit, he can push on
& get towards the 20 goals mark.
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England

Its the stock answer, but if he was 21 with two functioning kidneys, he wouldn't be here.

I'm in that minority group with you to be honest, Worthy, but then we've seen Phil Brown play :hang:

Wouldn't a large minority be a majority?

No, it would be about 49%.

Ahem. Mark Davies made his debut against Spurs, the weekend after the Blackburn draw. We'd sold Nolan and brought in Sparky in the intervening days, and the vast majority of us were shocked and disappointed that we'd stuck a kid in as replacement for our captain. More fool us.

Disclaimer edit. I don't remember seeing Sparky come on vs Blackburn, and I was there. I'd trust the Wiki evidence, except that it's Wiki, and as such can be as unreliable as your average drunk uncle...

God.. that WAS a debut and a half.. he looked electric! Was it the game when Rod Wallace and Ricketts scored? 2-1, or 2-2

I honestly thought wed bought a Ronaldo capable player.

Shame he never repeated it.

I didn't look at wiki. I was at Blackburn and yes Mark Davies came on I remember Nolan pointing at where he should stand a few times!

Right-back James Sinclair looked pretty good on his debut, as far as I recall. He's now playing for an obscure Polish club having been released by Gateshead.

Never a fairer and more succinct summation of Megson's midfield tactics have I read before.

He's playing in the Polish second division now.

Another Bolton old boy, Jaroslaw Fojut, is back in Polish football too...apparently he's considered one of the best defenders in Poland right now.

Augustyn was another one.. Left us to go for first team footy at Legia, then moved to a Serie A side!
