Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is considering an Arsenal swap deal for Gary Cahill.

The Bolton News understands the England defender’s representatives spoke to the Gunners over the weekend and that they are willing to match Wanderers’ £17 million valuation.

It is believed that the North London club would prefer a cash-plus-player deal which could the highly-rated Spanish defender Ignasi Miquel.

However, rumours are emerging that Arsenal are prepared to offer striker Nicklas Bendtner as a makeweight.

I believe this is what you would refer to as a 'fail'.

I'm not sure why that is at fail... you show a picture that says that at 16:22 the move was on hold - then 26mins later it was back on.

it may be bollox - but it's a perfectly possible sequence of events surely??

or am i missing something?

if arsenal and sours are the options - then I can't see it being spurs..

surely the logistics of fannying about negotiating equivalence fees and wage-structures for FOUR makeweights makes any such deal simply ludicrous?

If either story was actually 'news', then yes, not out of the realms of possibility I suppose. Although for a move to be 'on hold' to being 'close' in 26 minutes is pretty unlikley.


Although the first story was just a rewrite of the Bolton News story, then 26 minutes later, a re-write of the Telegraph story from this morning.

Perhaps it highlights more the pointless-ness of that particular website. It just takes stories and rewrites them, I'd have thought it would have least been done with some sort of structure and logic about it. Evidentley not.

Today is your lucky day my friend. One of our most special players is available for you, his name is Denilson. He's a really gifted player, I've never seen anybody pass the ball sideways the way he does, he runs non-stop for 90 minutes and he never allows anybody to jog past him in midfield.

Interested??? Please??????

He would probably do quite well for you, he's not a bad player, just a bit up his own arse. Far too over confident and smug

Bottom 7 club.

Oh, I think we could sort THAT tendancy out.

We really have benefitted this year from Bs being relegated.

In all seriousness I'd take Bendtner, if his ego will lower him to come here. Then again, doesn't his agent (his dad) reckon top European teams are after him? :wink: You know, in the same way that Elmander was going to sign for Juventus or Liverpool...

Phil McNulty just retweeted someone saying that 'Cahill to sign for Arsenal very soon'.

I'm pretty sure the guy he retweeted is one of the three genuine football agents on twitter- rather than the other 50 or so clearly fake accounts.

Being with the ultra-cautious BBC tends to make me think he wouldn't have retweeted whether he heard something too.

McNulty is a shit journalist though, so I'd be inclined to distrust him.

Hope Cahill goes though

Only becomes pointless if people don't click on them, or you have a respected brand to ruin. People do, and Clubcall don't.
