If we can get back half of what we paid for him, I would snap their hands off.

 

 

16 games without a goal I heard Gowling mention on Saturday. Those who keep saying he will come good, I can see his skills trying to get out, we have faith in him etc etc need to open their eyes.

 

The lad just isn't ever going to fit in at Bolton, he just doesn't fit. He has been given every opportunity this season and apart from a lttle run before Christmas, he has failed to even look like a Premiership forward.

 

I have been willing to accept that he has played his part from time to time this season but fcuk me Mr Nearlyman is getting worse every game he plays.

 

 

If we continue to play him as the lone striker next season we are in for another very long season.

Right I have one point to make on the Elmander debate

 

I don't think he's shone out, but before we debate if he's been a good buy for ?8m...

 

without some of the goals he's scored / contribution he's made I'd wager we'd be in there with the Geordies and Hull etc.

 

So if it was a case of buying him or not - it aint my money so IAMIN as he's better than anyone else we have to play up front in the same team as Davies

 

As for - would another striker for the same money have scored/contributed more? Who knows - I don't even remember who else was "available"....

Yatesy, is your bloodgroup B Negative?

 

As a Blood Donation Nurse, are you allowed to post a such medical sensitive information?

I think its been there for anyone to see that Elmander has struggled a bit this season, some of this due to 1st season in prem & some due to lack of fitness thru injury. The lad was quoted at more than double what we paid for him at one time & that has probably led to a bit of over expectation of his abilities. I woud hope anyone watching him this season has been able to see that he does try & he does care, even if things havnt really happened for him

Personally im not convinced he has what it takes to make it in the prem but given that the system we have had to use doesnt really suit him ( & 1 or 2 others) & the fact that the coaching staff seem to acknowledge this & are intent on strengthening where necessary i'm hopeful of a better showing from him next season.

I can be as negative as anyone at times (38yrs watchin BWFC takes its toll !! )....

However as much as ive had doubts about Megson & will never forgive Gartside for the Carling cup ticket fiasco, we have to keep the faith & theres enough fookwits out there ready to knock the club we love without us adding to it, so please by all means grumble over a pint, come on here & let off steam but try & keep off the players & managers back on matchday, it helps no-one but our enemies

Interseting to hear Jeff Stelling and the crew taliking about "Flops" this season, amongst that list was our very own Johan Elmander - bit harsh to be labelled a flop I feel. But another indication to highlight he certainly hasn't had a good season!

 

Let's hope he proves this lot and plenty of others wrong next season - would be nice to finish the season off with a goal tomorrow.

elmander a flop?

 

did they put modric and pavlyuchenko in the same sentence?

 

and jo?

 

and numerous others at clubs less easy to take a pop at?

Alves and Santa Cruz he said aswell. All while defending Berbatov, so it's the usual Sky 'Big 4' bollocks.

 

Jeff's just a bit of a twat in general though......

3 out of 10 in my paper this morning for his performance at City, which even I thought was very harsh
