Goalkeepers

why are we constantly being linked with signing either robison from spurs for 5 mil or some garlic chewing frog when we have a perfectly good keer in ali habsi & are crying out for a centre forward?

I cannot stand Megson, nor will I again buy a season ticket as long as he is in charge. Why the hell does he want to pay five million for a goalkeeper no better than we already have? stupid. Thats a large chunk from the so called twenty million he will be given. First priority would be to buy someone who can score goals, then a midfielder with an eye for a decent ball and who has pace. Megson will ruin this club eventualy.

You are assuming that everything written in the papers is 100% true then? At this time of the year if 1% of the signings they print come true, then they have had success

This is how it works:

 

Bolton have x number of goalkeepers.

Bolton look set to lose one of their better goalkeepers.

A keeper of similar stature and ability looks like becoming available.

Therefore Bolton must be interested in him.

 

 

England, Scotland, Wales, Ulster (controversial, eh?) and ireland have failed to qualify for the Euros. The domestic campaign is over and there's no real football news. Papers still have pages to fill.

Better the devil you know than the one you dont.

That's harsh Denn, were are a better team now than when he took over. Let's see who he brings in over the summer before we erect the scaffold behind the east stand.

Its the way I feel. He will ruin the club believe me. As for the keeper situation, why not pay to keep the two he has than pay five million for a duck egg.

As for Megson, I simply cannot wait to see his signings, as much a massive fan I am, and have been for over 40 years, I cannot help but sympathise for the fans who WILL buy a season ticket to watch next season.

the poet said all the same shite under allardyce

 

hes a bitter owd man

Swiller, he can't keep the two keepers he's got now, when the Finn wants to leave.

Its paper talk i know but even if jussi goes we have Walker to warm the bench and im pretty sure last season team picture had 2 other keeps on there so im thinking another keeper would be a waste of resorces at this time .

We have relied on Jussi for X number of years, Walker and Al Habsi are both great keepers, Walker has the record but is now getting on in years and is a great keeper to have as a back up, he will do the job. Al Habsi from what I have seen this season in the Uefa and the later games has shown he is a great shot stopper and has fast reactions! However he still has to proove himself over the course of the season that he can keep it up. I am all for giving Al Habsi the chance but I don't blame Megson's apperent will to sign a keeper that has shown he can do it on a domestic and international level. He doesn't want to be fighting a relegation battle next season again and a keeper he can trust at the back all season will make things easier. But i am in agreement what we need first is a Striker that will get us 15 goals a season.

The potential fly in the ointment is Peter Harrison: the allegedly crooked agent.

He represents both Jaaskelainen and Al Habsi. He has advised JJ not to sign a new contract and to see what is out there for him. He is now advising Al Habsi to buy out the last year of his own contract, because Galatasaray want to sign him on a much better deal than he's on at Bolton with a guarantee he'll be first choice.

Its the way I feel. He will ruin the club believe me. As for the keeper situation, why not pay to keep the two he has than pay five million for a duck egg.

surely we have to give megson leeway, until he has proved he is not the man for the job we should back him and support the club, I find your attitude very strange for someone who has supported the club for 40 years.

welcome back captain zero, where you been for 18 months?

Spot on Traf.... Harrison out!

Why can't the players see the hipocrisy of the 'stain'gents.

Do not believe 99% of what you read regarding our transfers at this stage of the season. It is a case of junior journos tasked with trying to keep readers interested in the sports pages.

 

We will not buy Robinson. FACT.

 

As for Megson - he surely deserves our support next season? His signings have been good on the whole thus far, he has allegedly got more money spend than any manager ever has before, the players seem to respect him, and above all else he is the best we can realistically get, so lets get behind him eh?

beer swiller you should support the team with a season ticket for your love of the club not which manager we have
