Current situation on a few transfer targets.

 

Veloso

 

We are trying to tie up a ?6 million deal for him in the next few weeks and Sporting seem keen on it but him and his agent arent too keen and are trying to get a "bigger" move.

 

Distin

 

Has other options and is very unlikely to come to us.

 

Sean Davis

 

Battling with Wigan, Blackburn and Sunderland to sign him on a free.

 

Paul Robinson

 

This is most likely of the four to happen for obvious reasons.

 

Come on you whites

MEGSON OUT

I hope this is just poor journalism.

 

Bolton in for Bowyer.

Shame Fat Sam didn't push the boat out a bit further for Franck Ribery a couple of years back - we'd be pissing money left, right and centre now! ::

Weve bid 500k for Paul Robinson from West Brom so ive just been told. Even he is worth more than that isnt he? or is contract running down?

i rated him about 5 yrs ago for us, but now he would just be a fring player. JLS first choice at left back with ricci to stand in if req'd. not a first team player for me this guy. I hope it's not a case of "old mates favour" to when megson was boss at WBA?

We got ?500k, they ask for ?2 million, he signs for an undisclosed fee. I'd guess.

we should be looking to get in better than what we have

you're better than samuel

seriously, my opinion is that to be classed a reasonable signing, the player has to be better than the current back up - robinson fits the bill

 

a good signing needs to be better than the current first choice - robinson cant be worse than samuel

Bolton Wanderers have not renewed their interest in Sporting midfielder Miguel Veloso, his agent has exclusively told setanta.com.

 

The Portugal international was the subject of a formal approach from The Trotters during the winter transfer window but Sporting were unwilling to accept ?12 million for one of their star players who has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Manchester City, amongst others.

 

Recent reports claimed that Bolton manager Gary Megson has made a renewed attempt to lure Veloso to The Premier League and that a deal could be struck due to issues regarding the player?s relationship with his coach, Paulo Bento.

 

But the 22-year-old?s agent has denied that a move to The Reebok Stadium is currently a possibility for his client.

 

?No, no it is not true. Bolton no,? Paulo Barbosa told setanta.com. ?It is true they were interested in January but Sporting refused an offer for ?12 million.

 

?No [they have not returned with a new offer].?

 

When asked about reports linking the player with a move to Manchester City and Arsenal, Barbosa replied: ?We will see, we will see soon.?

 

Setanta

 

 

WHAT?!

WHAT?!

 

Im glad in a way, i think 12 million is a lot for someone who cant get in sporting s team,

Wasn't he a mainstay of their team til he whored himself around in January?

I dare say he would improve our team, but should we be shelling out 12million on a defensive midfielder? Let Muamba do what he does and lets have 2 ball players in front of him.

He's more a ball playing DM than a ball winning one, think Campo/Hierro not Muamba/faye

Not really. Even if he was, Sporting are shit.

Not even Rasiak

 

oh yea, forgot him.

I think it's the fact that it's a "big name signing" that I want to get Veloso so much. But when thinking about it I do wonder if the money could be better spent on a different type of player.

 

Having said that if we do sign him then I will be very happy.
