a new defender????
and another striker??? (maybe the commons thing is dead..)
talksport wrote:Bolton boss Neil Lennon is considering a move for Swindon captain Nathan Thompson.
The defender has been instrumental in town's push for the League One title so far this season and has attracted interest from a number of Championship sides.
And Bolton are the latest to show an interest in the 24-year-old, who has made 110 appearances for Swindon since making his debut in October 2010.
Thompson's younger brother Louis, 20, was sold to Norwich in September but has spent this season back on loan at Swindon.
But top-of-the-table Town are desperate not to let their influential skipper leave with promotion in sight.
and another striker??? (maybe the commons thing is dead..)
oooh - Smolarek? Rasiak? anyone???Lion of Vienna wrote:the club have invited Kamil Wilczek to train with the team this week, so Neil Lennon can rule a judging eye over him. As you can imagine, information about the 27-year-old Piast Gliwice (who play in the Polish first division) forward is rather hard to come by. However, we've managed to deduce that the 6ft1" attacker was once a midfielder, but was converted to a striker after he re-signed for his current club in 2013. Since then he's scored 17 goals in 49 games, which equals to about a goal every 2.9 games.

Nathan Thompson is apparently a right-back. Wouldn't be good news for Threlkeld and White.
Re: Bijou Bob's Bargain Basement Buys - Jan transfer thread
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but NL said yesterday that Commons was a no no for January 100%. Celtic have come out and said he is not for sale and Lennon mentioned his good relationship with Celtic and not wanting to damage that.
I will try to find the link

Bolton manager Neil Lennon has given up on signing Celtic forward Kris Commons this month.
The former Parkhead boss had hoped to use the uncertainty over the former Scotland international's future to his gain and lure Commons south.
But he has now ruled out a late January move after Celtic made it clear the out-of-contract attacker will not be sold in this transfer window.
Lennon wanted Kris Commons (right) to join him at Bolton but accepts it will not happen in January
Lennon told STV: 'Celtic have come out publicly and said he's not for sale, he won't be leaving and we haven't pursued that any further.
'I've got a great relationship with Celtic, a great relationship with Peter [Lawwell] and I don't want to damage that.
'People keep asking me about Kris and I feel uncomfortable talking about him because he is Celtic's player at the end of the day.'
Commons, was a central figure under Lennon, netting 31 goals in the Northern Irishman's final season in charge.
But under Ronnie Deila, he has been in and out of the side as he was forced to accept his position was not guaranteed.
However, Lennon believes Celtic should look to tap into more than just his playing abilities as he recommended the 31-year-old for a future coaching role with the Hoops.
Commons has not been a regular in the Celtic team under manager Ronny Deila
Lennon said: 'It was something that myself and Peter talked about. Kris gets the club, he gets Celtic.
'He was having a great season last year and we talked about it in terms of working again together when his career finished. He's an intelligent boy, I think he'd have plenty to offer on the coaching side of things.
'I think he would be an asset for Celtic in a coaching capacity.'

Fairly sure we'd only be getting Commons by unloading Spearing and/or Chungy. Given neither has happened, I could see why we couldn't get Commons.
Re: Bijou Bob's Bargain Basement Buys - Jan transfer thread
I like these bizarre Football Manager style players we've been linked with. A youth player from Benfica and a striker from the Polish league.
Re: Bijou Bob's Bargain Basement Buys - Jan transfer thread
Danns has signed a 1yr extension, we desperately need to get Vela, Pratley and Mills to do the same or preferably longer.
Re: Bijou Bob's Bargain Basement Buys - Jan transfer thread
So much better than the dross we were linked to under DF. much more interesting to have a complete unknown rather than someone you know can't be anything special.Beefheart wrote:I like these bizarre Football Manager style players we've been linked with.

Like Boro reject Jutkiewicz? Fairly sure if we were linked with players from Poland and Swindon under the previous manager, people would be screaming about a lack of ambition - when in fact Freedman's key lack of ambition was in his tactical (mis)uses of those players.Spartan2 wrote:So much better than the dross we were linked to under DF. much more interesting to have a complete unknown rather than someone you know can't be anything special.Beefheart wrote:I like these bizarre Football Manager style players we've been linked with.

There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know... and then there's Veloso!
