According to the Bolton News:

WANDERERS are ready to pounce for former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Keith Andrews.

The 31-year-old is currently away with the Republic of Ireland at the European Championships but has already spoken to the club and could finalise a move this week.

Owen Coyle had been desperately trying to keep the move under wraps to avoid competition for the ball-winning midfielder, who has also had an offer from Huddersfield Town.

Andrews played at West Brom last season but was surprisingly released on a free transfer after Roy Hodgson left the Hawthorns for the England job.

ahh yes, perfectly fits in with the young talented squad theme. :conf:
I bet he was keeping it under wraps with the likes of the mighty Huddersfield sniffing around.

Would be a decent signing in my view. Not overly exciting but a wise head not afraid to mix it.

hmm he's Reo Cockers replacement I take it. Gives Mark Davies some competition in the first team biggest ears contest.
I'll reserve judgment

Andrews had a good season last year, don't really know why West Brom got rid.
Pfffft.

Not the most inspiring signing, but good cover.

Agree he's a good energetic box to box player (which is what we need) and would certainly shine in the championship - it just doesn't fit with Coyle's policy of only buying young players

He did and that was because they thought he was w@nk.

A limited and average player, not one to get excited about.

If you think that he's a 'limited and average player', you obviously weren't paying much attention to his performances last season.

He was 'slated' by Blackburn fans because he was a Paul Ince signing from MK Dons and they're still labouring under the impression that they are a much bigger club than they actually are.

I would imagine that at 31, he'll be on relatively small wages, which is probably why we're interested in signing him short-term.

Tweets from the Oracle suggest that he thinks/knows that 2 deals will be tied up by the end of this wekk

It would appear that we have a different gage on what constitutes as quality.

Left Blackburn on a free and signed a short deal at West Brom, how comes they have not extended it?

Oh and the Blackburn fans that I know, do describe him as w@nk.

West Brom fans I spoke to after the game at the Bok thought he was a good little player, so it's swings and roundabouts. Plus he's looked very good for a limited Irish National team

The People has Coyle as optimistic about signing Colombian Carlos Sanchez?

Oh jeez! Anybody but Keith Andrews. I watched the Euros and thought, thank God he doesn't play for us. Truly truly awful. Come back Pratley. All is forgiven.

Think there was some stuff on this guy a few pages back. Linked with Reading and a couple of Italian teams (Genoa I think might have been one).

Apparently, he's coming to Bolton this week to finalise talks and have a medical. Roma could only offer him squad status...or so it reads.
