white noise Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Shittu and McCAnn have joined Pompey for a combined cut price fee of ?2m, the fee is a small upfront payment and the balance payable when Gaydamak completes his sale of the club. Good to help out our probable fellow strugglers!!! and lose our 3rd best central defender as well. Nice gesture!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrandt Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 "Bolton duo Gavin McCann and Danny Shittu will today join crisis club Portsmouth in a cut price ?2m deal." Mirror Discuss Odd story though. I could have sworn I watched Shittu play 90 mins at Leyland toneet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirror Discuss Odd story though. I could have sworn I watched Shittu play 90 mins at Leyland toneet. Very odd on many levels, McCann was in our starting XI the other day and don't we want ?2m for Shittu anyway? My ?20 in Portsmouth to finish bottom is looking good.

Gonk Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Is this FACT? According to the mirror it is. They, and others, are also reporting that SKD has officially signed the earlier agreed extension until 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrandt Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Does this indicate that McCann (not really match fit) started last Saturday coz he was in 'the shop window' ? Otherwise, if he's now being let go as surplus to requirements, why DID he start on Saturday ? It's late, my brain can't cope with this stuff .....

Sluffy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 According to the mirror it is. They, and others, are also reporting that SKD has officially signed the earlier agreed extension until 2012. Thing is though the strange quotes by Megson and the amazing valuation put on Davies! Kevin Davies set to sign new Bolton deal Bolton skipper Kevin Davies is signing a new and improved contract to keep him out of the clutches of Blackburn Rovers and Hull City. And boss Gary Megson is relieved to have the big striker tied down after claiming there is a 'campaign' against the club by outside forces Bolton rebuffed all approaches for Davies and valued him at around ?10 million despite his age, so they felt he was worth an increase and a longer stay. Bolton already had Davies under contract for two more years, but the new deal will see him on their books until the summer of 2012. Megson rapped: "There are people who do things to undermine and destabilise this club. It's been like that for a while."

Chris T. Church Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Weird as feck if it's true. It maybe that Megson needs an extra 2m to put towards a world class attacking midfielder. Hope springs eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledwhite2 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I hope so because McCann is pedestrian as f?ck, we've got plenty of similar but better types in our squad Would beg the question though, why the hell did he play at the weekend?

Drew Peacock Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 As I mentioned in the Sunderland thread, he was mystified he was playing on Saturday, as he had only played less than 2 halfs all pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANNY Shittu is on the verge of quitting the Reebok for Premier League rivals Portsmouth. The Fratton Park side are one of three clubs who have submitted offers for the Nigeria international in the last few days. Wanderers are thought to be holding out for at least the ?2million they invested in the big centre-half last summer. Read the full story in The Bolton News on Tuesday.

I think he's getting twitchy and the pressure is mounting saturday was a wake up call. As for Shittu and McCann - nothing lost at all quality wise but numbers dropping again having said that if McCann in the team means performances like saturday stick with the kids nothing lost - hopefully ?2m in, a bit more to come when Pompey buy out is done and we can up the anti to get in quality attacking options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are probably right and again weird response from a guy seriously low on popularity - it may well be true but why antagonise a lot of BWFC fans who will still hold Allardyce and Brown in very high regard just leave it well alone try and break the cycle and start building his own popularity by being a bit less pigheaded?!

Wanderers are thought to be holding out for at least the ?2million they invested in the big centre-half last summer. Read the full story in The Bolton News on Tuesday. With Portsmouth's financial state, you wouldn't want to bet on seeing any deferred payment. The club was in the proverbial without any arab takeover and it looks like that is increasingly unlikely. I reckon that they may well be the first Premiership club to go into admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see that happening - I think they only owe about ?20m now and if they were facing admin they could sell Distin, Belhadj and Krancjar and they are nearly there.
