Official Gary Cahill transfer thread

[BL3]

And now when reality is setting in that no is daft enough to offer that much for Cahill and there's a chance he might leave on a free like Elmander......there's mass panic

I think you mean apathy rather than panic.

[TANGODANCER]

Guys instead of taking your frustration on Wenger. Cant it be simply that he doesnt rate Cahill? We can discuss all we want about how good Cahill is.....but its his job and his decision and if he says i dont rate the guy for whatever reason, its his right as a manager to not buy him. Wenger prefers Jagielka to Cahill

Back again then? Seems you're more concerned about Cahill than most Bolton fans. Que sera. If anything hapens, it happens, if not then on with it.

I think there's alot of panic with Bolton fans who thought teams would come in and offer 17 million for Cahill after 2-3 caps for England. i mean even Cleverly has been picked for England. And now when reality is setting in that no is daft enough to offer that much for Cahill and there's a chance he might leave on a free like Elmander......there's mass panic. i have been saying all summer he will go for 7-9 million last few days of the window

I think you'll find that on the old panic-o-meter we're at a 0 with regards to Cahill.

I think you are projecting Arsenal fans feelings in general onto the situation.

If I were you I'd be more worried about your club crumbling to bits, and by your own managers admission, Arsenal can no longer be considered a big club.

Mid table mediocrity awaits, and thats if you're lucky. Enjoy!

The worst thing that can happen with Cahill is he leaves for free. Total outlay = 5m plus wages. Think we've seen a pretty good return on that investment!

Of course the 15m (or whatever) would be an excellent boost for us, but not the end of the world. Not half as crushing for us as spending 8m plus wages for Elmander and getting no return.

We got some return (eventually). Not £8m worth, mind.

[Lord Kangana]

I'm still fairly confident that he'll leave before the window is out. I'd piss meself if it was to Arsenal, mind.

Wasn't that actually the press and pundits, extolling his virtues at an inflated price and that all the big clubs would be in for him?

[Horza]

Nowt worse than a single-issue troll.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle insists there are still no bids for in-demand defender Gary Cahill.

The England international is out of contract next summer and has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City.

Many expect offers to flood in for Cahill before the transfer window closes, but Coyle has again reiterated that things are quiet.

Coyle insists there is no credence to the speculation doing the rounds and that Cahill himself is focused solely on his football.

Cahill scored the club's opening Premier League goal of the season against QPR last week and Coyle is still in awe of the long-range special.

Speculation
"There is no foundation to the speculation and I have said to Gary there is nothing to be distracted about," said Coyle.

"He has to focus on what he does for Bolton; he gets well paid by the club and has a great contract and we have invested a lot of money in him after buying him from Aston Villa.

"He has shown that focus with his performances. If there was something concrete to happen then Gary would be the first to know.

"He knows the way I work as a manager, the relationship I have with him and you saw last week how focused he was.

"Aside from his defensive performance what he adds at set-plays and moving forward and the goal he scored is all credit to Gary Cahill and long may it continue.

"I have said before Gary has, I believe, the feet of a centre-forward even though he operates at the back. It was a world-class strike from a world-class player in the making."

Bloody hell SSN - do you really have to do a daily 'still no Cahill bids' feature?

Think it was more due to the twitter bollocks yesterday that there was a need to confirm/deny it.

[BWFC_Insane]

According to that bint from Tower FM the following was said at the press conference this morning.

"I spoke with Kenny and Gary's name was never mentioned. If there was ANY INTEREST he would have mentioned it"

Funny how Sky don't report that. Mind killing further avenues of speculation wouldn't suit them I guess!

[Lofthouse Lower]

Bint? BINT!!?!?!

[Chrisfu]

Bint? BINT!!?!?!

This.

You're not allowed to call her names. She's rather tasty and likes football.

Bloody hell SSN - do you really have to do a daily 'still no Cahill bids' feature?

I'd say so, judging by the continuing additions to this thread, coupled with fresh quotes from Coyle's pre-match press conference.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Journalism at its finest, all round.

[Gary the Enfield]

Bint? BINT!!?!?!

Meaning 'elder' in Hebrew.

[Hoboh]

What bint? piccy? and who the hell listens to Tower!!!!!! should be shot! Radio 2 rules the airwaves

[boltonboris]

I'd put in some overtime on that

[Annoyed Grunt]

Not based on that pic, I wouldn't.
