Seen him on telly tonight?

 

Eh?

 

Well?

 

He's one mean looking darkie who definatley knows where the onion bag is.

 

Get him bought.

seconded

 

quality striker with pace

twas said before start of season

we should be scouts :D/

we were linked with him before he went reading. I'm sure we would have snapped him up if the scouts thought he was good enough.

 

 

 

then again, young potential english striker.....when was the last time we bought one of those...

david reeves

you could say say ricketts but he don't really count......

 

 

 

English young strikers today cost an extra million quid

 

that nugent from preston looks decent...

He was a lot of money for an unproven player who would have been in the reserves faster than you can say Delroy Facey.

paul wheatcroft #-o

got him for free didn't we?

Dib dib dib.

According to some Reading that I know, Lita is bone idle and his first touch is crap. Plus he's injury prone because of being lazy. They don't think he'll be up to playing in the premiership when/if they go up.

 

EG - ITK

you could say say ricketts but he don't really count......

 

why not? because he's sh??te now?

 

similar to lita, bought from div 2 club, bangs them in for fun in div 1 - only difference is lita hasn't proved himself in premier league

 

you can't deny that ricketts was a belting player until his england call up

Spot on Zico,

 

I think there's too many Bolton fans who forget how good Ricketts was for us, before it all went pear-shaped. ( his career, not his arse!)

 

It won't happen, but a fit Michael Ricketts could play and score in the Premiership.

ricketts was class for us and sam got rid when his head got to big we got the best out of him so i cant see y everyone hates the guy. he scored the goals to get us promoted and a goal to beat man u in the first season back i would say that makes him legend in my view

No because...

 

1- His 1/2 a cap....International England striker Michael Ricketts

2. When we signed him he wasn't reconised as having international potential. The point I was trying to make is when was the last we signed an english striker who was a reconised talent.

And how many off them are knocking around looking for a club , I will hold one hand up for you to count on

when young english strikers with potential/recognised talent emerge, they are either snapped up for vast amounts of money (Walcott/Rooney) or already at a big club as their potential was spotted long ago (Owen)

 

when we signed ricketts, I'm sure sam saw some some degree of potential there and sure enough he was right, pity the lad wasted it

English strikers costing shit loads is a problem but i feel we missed out on an excellent striker last week!! Grant Holt cost forest 300k he is big and good in the air so could play the Davies role and is very good in front of goal. He scored and set up 2 on his debut against Oldham on saturday. I dont think 300k is that much of a risk because once hes played in the premiership his value shoots up so if he didn't work out a championship club would have him for a lot more than 300k.

maybe, but fact he was bought by a midtable 2nd div side makes me think he couldn't hack it in the premier league

 

it remains to be seen but i reckon we did well getting Jansen on board

Yep im well happy with Jansen plus there is no risk if it dont work out we let him go in the summer. If Allardyce can work his magic then what a signing Jansen could end up being!!!!
