Maybe not. Trotter only had to imprint an inky hoof onto his contract.

[Prufrock]

I was just pointing out that describing a signing that hasn't happened yet as a risk without knowing the details of an operation is a bit of a jump.

True ... the real risk is signing that slow-minded lump of lard.

He didn't get operated on this week following an injury gained on Saturday. Far too soon for a tissue injury which would have to settle down before full diagnosis, let alone operating, so I guess it was pre-arranged.


Given our history with players joining us (Sean Davies) (or nearly joining us ... remember Ferrie Bodde ?) with existing injuries you'd want to be pretty sure of someone.


However, for anyone saying I'd take every opportunity to try and avoid signing Trotter ... "guilty yer 'onour".

This is from less than three weeks ago

Yes.

Thank goodness we dodged that bullet and got Pratley instead !!


(I had read this, btw, & that he was now brought round and making progress. I'd wish him well from all that)

[Prufrock]

Aye, hope he recovers, but jeez, we thought Holden was unlucky!

[BWFC_Insane]

Anyway - it has happened now. He's signed.

Has he? Don't see any announcement on the website?

Too embarrassed.

[Riviman]

Trotter can't sign yet as his contract at Millwall isn't up until June.

[thebish]

^ then it's a mystery!!! Bruce???

[SmokinFrazier]

These transfers are very uninspiring. Eagles out but Trotter and Westcarr possibly joining hardly points to a side expecting to be around the play-off spots.

Eagles was shite. Give over with your agenda.

He had 1 standout game in every 15 of abject shite. He wasn't worth the money we were paying him.

I have a big book of gloom

Ah, see. Some of us are ITK.

T'was an earlier nice person from the BEN.However, further investigation of it gives a link to something called Football Courier which was quoting something called The Voice of Bolton. Hardly Sky then.

So, hopefully, the big useless c*nt hasn't actually signed at all.

Did you see him arriving at the Macron?

That's what I said. At the beginning of the season.

Over paid ponce, namby pamby prima donna

He's a lot better than Trotter and whilst Eagles probably was on too much, I bet we're not going to pay Trotter much less than what Eagles will get elsewhere. It's not like the only chance we had to keep Eagles was to give him the exact same money, he'll be taking a big cut on his wages wherever he goes and we could have offered him something similar. I wouldn't even be surprised if we end up paying Trotter more than what Eagles will get elsewhere, so maybe it could have happened? Freedman obviously doesn't rate Eagles which is a shame as he was very good last season.

Not much conjecture in there then.

[BWFC_Insane]

I am reliably told that Trotter was on £6k a week. No idea what Eagles was earning but looking at a few reports it suggests somewhere between £25K and £35K per week.

I find it impossible to believe that Eagles will go anywhere for even double the wages Trotter is on.
