TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thread

[BWFC_Insane]

From Bolton's point of view, we HAVE to sell one of Taylor/Petrov this year. Both high earners, both 1 year left on contract, neither very good. If the offer is there for Taylor rather than Petrov, sell sell sell!

Given how weak our squad is at the minute, it was one of the smallest last year and we're already down on that now, I'm not sure of the wisdom of selling more players, other than Cahill until we actually bring some fookers in.

Perhaps I'm just old fashioned in feeling 1 player for each position isn't enough!

The font of all knowledge 'caughtoffside' running a stroy about Newcastle linked with Sturridge. It's full of 'mights' and 'mays' and 'coulds' so i wont bother posting the full thing. Suffice it to say that if Chelsea buy more strikers to send him down the pecking order, he'll be in demand anyway so there'll be tons more where that came from.

Even though he's already signed for us, obviously

100% agree

Taylor offers so little (Petrov too), but of the two I know who I'd rather sell.

That said, a midfield minus Parker but including Nolan and Taylor is going to need to do a lot of running

[ChrisC]

Parker was linked with moves around the 4 mil mark wasn't he? so give them Taylor and a couple of mil and jobs a good en

I don't think this is top of our "need to do" list.

If there was an offer for either, I'd seriously consider it.

The notion that Petrov is streets ahead of Taylor is complete shite. Petrov was generally wank but has skill. Taylor generally worked a lot harder, didn't put the defence in half as much shite as Petrov does, but doesn't have half his skill. I'd rather have someone with less skill and way more commitment, thanks.

Now I shall list all the left wingers we've had in the Prem that have been streets ahead of either of them.






























That is all.

Harsh to leave Pierre Yves Andre from your list

Yes - Wilhelmsson was a wrench to leave out too.

[Beefheart]

I'd still play Gardner there ahead of both of them.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Both very well-made points

[calcalstar]

Sell them both and buy someone with Ward/Gardner as backup

[Lofthouse Lower]

Ward

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Problem solved, lets just sell them and buy someone.

I hadn't thought of that, nice one

It's genius is in its simplicity...!

Trouble with selling before buying is reminiscent of the old saying; if you throw the baby out with the bathwater, there's a real danger of a wet floor and a critically injured baby.

Therefore I have faith that he wouldn't be sacking off deadwood like Taylor and Knight (hopefully) without replacements already being signed and sealed, innit.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Hope all you like, i dont think he's getting rid of Knight.

You know though in your heart of hearts, that it won't be the case.

We are still BWFC after all.

I was typing it and thinking the opposite at the same time

So LL doesn't think any of our defence are any good. Our LM needs changing, Muabma is crap, Elmander has gone anyhow.

We have left, possibly Jussi (or Al Habs), Holden (who gets injured quite a lot), CYL and a 34 year old striker who doesn't score many.

Can't wait to see all these replacements. Anyone mentioned to OC that he needs to be a bit busier than he was planning?
