white noise Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Daily Mirror says this is on, could explain why Sam is looking at the Italian. Could free up another ??2m for Sams raid on Saviola and Sorin. :-$
snackum Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Where did you hear ??2M? That's a lot for Jaidi though. Obviously Bruno has been singing his praises. But I'm sure we should be offloading any more defenders until January. Need to see how the new defensive unit work together.
Sweep Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 It's also reported in the Daily Mail this morning, although no price is mentioned. I wouldn't mind selling him, but only after 2 replacements have been brought in, as we are already short of cover in that position
Guest Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 meite, tal, faye, campo and maybe hunt might be enough cover. probably not tho.
exiledwhite2 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 meite, tal, faye, campo and maybe hunt might be enough cover. probably not tho. Hmmm...probably not I guess. Say TBH got injured and Meite turns out to be useless, that could be a massive weak spot for us... I pray to god Campo never plays centre back for us again
H Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 My daughter's other half is mates with Jaidi's agent and he's been telling me all summer that it's unlikely the jedi will be at Bolton for the coming season.
jolly-olly Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 We can't afford to let players go until the replacements are in the bag. The squad is simply not big enough.
Mounts Kipper Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 We can't afford to let players go until the replacements are in the bag. The squad is simply not big enough. spot on, Sam must have imminent replacements lined up, why else release jaidi, and someone said hunt as a possible for Centre half, never in a million years.

He's played well there for England U-21's
Zozzy Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Hunt won't cover as a centre half because he isn't good enough in the air.
Burndens Bogs Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Hunt won't cover as a centre half BECAUSE HE ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH Just thought i'd tidy that comment up Zoz.

[-X I'm in the minority bogs, I like Nicky Hunt. He is one of the best tacklers in the squad and folk expect too much of players when returning from injuries. (which he has been very unlucky with in his short career) You don't get so many England U-21 caps if you are useless. He has had some bad games and the crowd really let him know, but when one of our more senior players have an equally bad game there is a different crowd reaction. I know I am bextoring myself because this was discussed at length last season and I can't be bothered looking for the link.
tylswhite Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 if campo ever plays centre half again i will have a heart attack.
Eddie Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 In our squad at the moment we have 2 centre backs who we know are of a high quality and are good enough for the premiership, TBH and Faye. We then have Miete who although he is not proven yet I am expecting him to be very good. After having three top quality centre backs you can't expect your cover to also be top quality, because a top quality player would not settle for being cover for Bolton Wanderers. However we also have the kid Fojut, I've not seen him play much but I have heard good things about him and i'm sure he could act as cover for a short period of time whilst 2 of the other 3 is out. And then if you really are struggling you have Campo, who even though scares the shi t out of me when he plays at centre back, he has done so for Real Madrid and so could also act as cover. If Jaidi does go then I don't think we are so short at the back then some people seem to think we are, but 1 more defensive signing would take away any doubt.
forever white Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 If Bolton box clever they should get a firm offer from Birmingham then use that as a bargaining tool for Mathew Upson (he is still at brum isnt he ?). A good exchange and cash imo.Or hurry and snap up Distan from the reported Portsmouth for ??4 million another decent price in this strange transfer market. But I suppose knowing bolton they will settle for another nominal fee for a player that on his day can be brilliant. I was reading O'brien was going from portsmouth for ??2 million surely we could get a similar fee
Traf Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I'm going to Birmingham on Tuesday for a family funeral, I'll give Jaidi a lift down there. Don't they want the Spitter too?
snackum Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Sam's admitted there is interest for Jaidi. So... all down to money now. Must be worth at least ??4M imho :-) :^o :-)
Guest as Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Jaidi is too clumsy at centre-back, but he'll do a cracking job for Brum in the Championship. We've released a lot of players this summer, so I imagine Sir Sam will have money and some room on the wage bill to play with. PB

PB I agree with PB, I think Jaidi could do a good enough job by dropping down a level, I wouldn't mind swapping him for Upson [-o<
Sweep Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 oh fcuk upson and woodgate, together with Hunt on the right and Gardner on the left......................at least the Physios would be kept busy
Guest Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 paul mcshane from manu wud be cheap, i saw him at a friendly and he was good.
