Having a medical at the Reebok tonight, expected to sign for 2mill tomorrow

 

Beat you to it tylswhite

Looking fairly solid now - as far as we can tell pre-season.

Still hoping for some flair, pace, goal-poaching before end of August. Is that asking too much ?

 

He's about as good as Meite but likely to be much more committed, and also a big danger from set pieces. If we've managed to do this on a break even basis then that is good business to me.

 

I Shittu not.

Carlos Cuellar

What a quality defender he is, can't believe one of the so called 'big clubs' haven't snapped him up yet.

Apart from rangers

 

And Celtic and Sunderland apparently, - according to this transfer rumour site (all based on newspaper reports) -

talking of Celtic, aren't we usually linked with Bobo Bald? when any transfer window is open? - I'm suprised we haven't been linked with him this time, although I understand that Sunderland were last week.

 

For the record, I don't think he is any good, and am not advocating that we try and sign him

That's because we've just signed a lumbering, third-rate clogger that no-one else wanted.

I think the same was said of Andy O'B when we signed him last year, remember a team is a sum of its parts

Aye, we were linked with him for about 15 years. He's retired from football now and he's a window cleaner up Breightmet.

still a chance we could get him before the "window" closes then

wolves were sniffing around recently

When asked why he'd packed in football he said

 

"I need to Everest"

Aye, we were linked with him for about 15 years. He's retired from football now and he's a window cleaner up Breightmet.

 

That's a pretty redundant role isn't it? Last time I was there, there wasn't many windows lift intact

Not hugely impressed with this signing. We have replaced a defender who wasn't strong enough physically but was reasonably quick, and a good tackler, with a physically strong defender who is suspect IMO against teams who attack on the floor.

 

The key factor is that Megson had fallen out with Meite and wanted him out.

 

Lets hope we play Shittu against some of the poorer Prem teams and not the quality ones.

and he therefore mainly uses a sander

The key factor is that Megson had fallen out with Meite and wanted him out.

 

And rightly so, he refused to play a big game and the manager has to trust his players to be committed to the cause.

You really think Megson hasn't thought of that? Cahill and AOB are the first choice pairing, Shittu will come in against the lumpers, simple as

On the glass menufacturers topic, the misses said Pilkington's glass where as I'd have always said St Helen's glass! Do Pilkington's glass exist, I only thought they did ceramic tiles?

Spot on, Shittu is not in the same class as Meite, its a forced transfer as a result of Megsons poor man management skills.

Megsons poor man management skills.

 

Are you on glue? Meite decides he doesn't want to play cus he's having a bad day at the office...

 

and that's Megson's fault?

Are you inferring that Meite is good then?

 

Also, what experience do you actually have of Megsons "man management skills" ?

 

Do you own any jogging bottoms?

And umbro trainers with a diadora t-shirt to complete the outfit?

After that, Meits should never have set foot in the Reebok again, let alone put on a white shirt ... I want players at Bolton that want to play for use.

I would rather have one average player that wants to play for Bolton, then a good one who when the going gets tough wants to go and cry to mummy

I agree.... thats the point i was making.....

Why are the Megson knockers making out that Meite was some sort of world beater? He was poor, made many mistakes, and is a sulky arse.

 

Not sure if Shittu is any good, but as back up, I am happy enough.

 

Some people expect us to spend ?11m on every player we sign
