CH's all singing all dancing transfer gossip thread on toast

[Verbal]

our current situation is that we a Prem club with a better than evens chance of remaining so .
as such he came here and performed well then he may well have his pick of "better" clubs
he has less chance of proving himself in the cloggers division.
if he has rejected us then feck him

they didn't accept the bid ffs

[Burnden Cat]

As of 12.17pm, our squad is significantly worse than it was when the window opened...FACT.

Doesn't bode well, does it?

Just smacks of the club being able to say, 'Well we tried for the next Messi, the Championship Wonderkid et al, we were within a whisker etc'.

Reminds me of a time in the dim & distant past when Terry Edge tried to convince Pele to come & manage us. Very thinly disguised publicity stunt. In the meantime, Swansea are signing Peterborough's best defender, Norwich ahve signed Leeds' captain & Sam's signing United's most talented young player.

Move along, nothing to see here..............................

...and had we signed lower-leaguers there'd be plenty on here complaining. Not that I'm saying you would - after all, it's not like you only pop up to have a moan is it?

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Peterborough's best defender? wow. Leeds Captain? ouch.

'kin hell.

[ChrisC]

Miyaichi to Bolton. You will get a very talented youngster with unique story. This guy will not be a Kakuta signing, he's better player. you will end up loving him and he may very well save you from relegation. Petrov days are numbered

What does it feel like missing out on Cahil and getting that German lump?

he is better than cahill. Watch cahill be exposed tonight. its not like you are any worse without cahill

Hahahahahahah clueless absolutely clueless.. The image of him falling over the ball and then arsenal conceding makes me piss.. He is toss!

[Peter Thompson]

All is not lost? Marc Iles sez:

11.50pm General disappointment felt over break down of Zaha deal, but I understand the club are still working to get someone else in aside from Myaichi on loan from Arsenal.

We're clearly done. Not a chance of anyone (first team level) coming in other than Ream and the Japanese fellow.

Are you really that surprised ? - we're talking BWFC in a transfer window that we've had 4 months to plan for, usual Bolton all talk & no action....wasting valuable time chasing impossible targets so that they can say 'we tried hard but....!'

Ebi Smolerek anyone ?

[Wandering Willy]

Oh look - Captain Realistic is here.

[thebish]

Instead we've spent two weeks chasing a player we can't afford, and another that wasn't interested in coming.

I don't think either way makes sense.

it wouldn't make sense if we lived in a crazy world where we were only allowed to do one thing at a time to the exclusion of all others....

Oy. That's Officer_Dibble's line.

i was responding to the "elephant in the room" statement a few posts back
Palce rejecting the bid is far more likely in my view as well

Zamora. £8 Million and £90,000 per week wages. Is this the cost of staying up??

Football is fvcked

FFS possibly one of the slowest windows for a long while.. Not even money bags QPR have done that much.. Wigan and the dingles have done nothing of note either.. Wolves have got a loan in.. Noticing a pattern here?

Yep good point. So where is the backup? The couple of foreign loans who will chip in a few games when we're short and perhaps even add some quality in one area?

QPR have brought in 5 and are close with 2 more

5? Really?

Onouha.. Taiwo and an African midfielder last I heard.. First 2 on huge wages so hardly a normal target for average club.

Cant hate on the man that he has a great agent

[n035209]

lets all forget about wili fired, its boring and very unlikely to happen, on wards and upwards.

[thebish]

If we'd not wasted a loan slot with Boyata I'm sure there'd be a decent premiership loan around for us too...

hang on BWFCi... at the time, you wrote this:

Boyata is a top prospect. If we get him he'll be in ahead of Steinsson IMO at right back. But will be useful for covering other areas should the need arise.

Wait and see if we get him but he would certainly help out at the back.

and this..

That is if we don't sign Boyata in time, which I'm guessing we won't!

and this..

Colours nailed to mast as follows -----------Jussi---------- Boyata Cahill Wheater Robinson Reo Coker Holden/Muamba Tuncay Mark Davies Petrov -----------Ngog----------

you "nailed your colours to the mast" - naming Boyata in your preferred starting lineup - and told us he is a top prospect who should be ahead of Steinner..

now you're calling Coyle for wasting a loan spot on him????

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Ooh now. Good research.
