Pecking order should be up for grabs – and either way depends upon pre-season - but at the mo I'd be imagining Muamba and Pratley in harness at QPR.

The worrying thing is, according to his Facebook page, he's doing an Honours Degree.

Good signing, straight into the starting XI on the basis of every other bugger being injured.....

Its good that he has an engine on him, he'll bloody need it!

Just looking on some Swansea City forums.... they had this to say about him....

- planetswans.co.uk

"Pratley is a good player but just couldn't find a place in the midfield 3 towards the end of the season.

Strong, athletic and knows where the net is. He will do fine in the Prem."

----

"I think he'll do well for Bolton. I think he'll play regularly early on because that lad Holden is still recovering from a broken leg was it?

His work rate is second to none, gets stuck in and arrives into the box late to score goals."

----

I think if played in the right role he could flourish in the Premiership, and with Bolton's new passing style he'll fit in well. Not a Bolton expert so not sure if he'll get in the team.

----

Plenty of energy, but lacks footballing brain. Not prem player IMHO

----

Theres also a whole bunch on Vital Football forums for the swans and it all seems apart from that one above to all great words for him and all thank him for his efforts and wish him luck!

Have we seen PSG yet ??

Anyway, I won't be happy till I hear Mr Coyle saying "what a terrific footballer" he is, and that he "brings options to this football club" and that he's just what "Bolton Wanderers football club need".

Bobo, you also missed "true quality" and "Barclays Premier League" out of that speech!

And what a very fine manager Swansea have. Don't forget that bit.

"what a terrific footballer" he is. "He will bring true quality to the Barclay's Premier League" and that he "brings options to this football club" and that he's just what "Bolton Wanderers football club need. It was a pleasure dealing with Mr Brendan Rogers, who's a super, super manager. ".

Any better ?

Other photo's from Chris Hall - I spy with my little eye...Ricardo Gardner. Has he definitely signed then? It was reported that he was going to, but the tale then went mysteriously cold...

I also spy...Marcos Alonso. He's not been sacked/rotting in a Spanish prison then?
