TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thread

[malcd1]

globe and nail is a canadian paper. how would they get a scoop? better to just ignore.

It is not just that. The article doesn't mention Bolton except in the headline. The writer obviously think that Bolton is the nickname for Blackburn. Useless tossers.

Internet in Error Repeated shocker... I note that the aforementioned Rob Long has corrected LL's stalkee KellyOffOfTowerFM so they must have run with the Raul-to-Bolton thing too.

Serious if there was any truth to it and we got Raul then words wouldn't explain how exited I'd be for the season!

Where would you be exiting to?

@robfranlong No. Somebody new. Onuoha may be going elsewhere shortly

Reluctant? He never shuts up.

German press reports Blackburn have made an offer. Raul has had a spat with the Schalke coach, Rangnick, so wants to leave. He's past it if Schalke's game against Stuttgart a week ago is anything to go by - didn't get a kick and didn't look interested. Be surprised if he cuts it in the 'BPL' if he did go to Dingle Dell.

Well maybe he didn't look interested because he doesn't want to play for Schalke.....

I agree with most of that, Jimbo.

I'm not sure we would spring for all those at once but we've definitely been in the market.

And while SWP will have to find a place on the money/football sliding scale, I wouldn't blame him if (if) we're only offering 25kpw to someone on 80kpw. Wigan's alleged 40kpw - presumably they're throwing money at him in a loss-making attempt to replace Nzogbia - is enough of a drop; "an extra 15k" is per week, over the course of say a two-year contract, actually £1.5m difference. Moreover, if (if) those figures are right we'd be offering £2.6m wages rather than £4.1m - it's a fair old slice less. That said, I would expect us to up our offer a bit over the next fortnight, especially if we end up signing a striker who doesn't take up most of the remaining headroom on the wage bill.

If we sell Cahill I would hope for us to sign a decent centre-back, and preferably a ball-playing one rather than a Wheater/Knight type. Onuoha? ("Too expensive! Waste of money!") Rhys Williams? ("Who's he?!" "Championship player!")

From the fans forum, the issue with SWP seems to be that his agent is doing all the talking and Coyle hasn't been given the chance to speak to SWP face to face "about football". I'm only reading between the lines from that night but I read it that Coyle would prefer to do that, and that he wasn't entirely impressed with how SWP was going about things. Could be wrong like.

According to earlier Nixon tweets, and indeed some of the stuff in the BN, offers on the table are 50Kpw from Wigan, 40Kpw from Stoke and for us (roughly half Wigans) so25Kpw from us, they are of course approximations. I suspect ours is near enough 30Kpw but still the fact remains that Wigan are going all out financially, Stoke are offering more and have the lure of European football.

Tough choice for SWP. But given the choice has been on the table for over a week now, isn't it odd that he's still bumming around with City's reserves?

And if we sell Cahill it has been said we will try and get Onouha which would be a very good deal if it happens.

OC should just ask Zat for SWP's phone number and give him a bell.

That would be considered 'tapping up' and we would be fined a lot of money

Howso? Citeh must've given Clubs permission to talk to SWP, otherwise there would've been no dialogue at all. All I'm suggesting is bypassing his agent.

Coyle said he likes to talk to players face to face! So really he just needs to ask Zat for Swp's Skype!

Yeah - no Morse Code though. That's nearly all tapping.

Nixon will thoroughly disappoint at 11pm. His tweet will be like

'Bolton have ambition to sign more players. ITK'

Just looked at his tweets, he's promising a minor development.

Hardly suggests revelation, does it?

[TKIZ!]

Never does

[BWFC_Insane]

Never does

Perhaps because there isn't a revelation to reveal?

Let's face it, which other journo would be tweeting about Bolton developments in the transfer market? Folk just get overexcited tis all!

Agreed, I don't mind reading his tweets but I wouldn't get too worked up about his inside info

Think he's bob on myself, as I'm sure you know by the running joke on here! Put it this way all our targets currently were mentioned by him an age ago, plus he was spot on with the whole mystery striker thing! Didn't hear anyone else with or prepared to offer that info!
