If You Could Have One Player Back..............

Just for you Bolty

 

If you could resign one ex wanderer now (regardless of age, price etc) who would it be and why?

 

Despite my moniker I'd go for Eidur - could score a few, retain possesion and unlock defences from in and around the box.

I'm sure the title says One Player??

I'd add Freddie Hill to this list.

 

 

I did consider it then remembered the unreliability and questionable ethics of folk from Harwood :D

As club man Per Fransen in his pomp for me apart fom the last game of the season when he rounded the chelsea keeper and slotted it wide ! and his breif fling with the dingles but that wasnt his fault

 

Hue fan of the Frandsen. He didn't slot it wide - it was that shit Wise that got back and kicked it off the line.

 

His peak was the game against Brum - think he scored 2, had a cracker wrongly disallowed and a great free kick handled on the line that Holdsworth put the resulting pen away to make it 3-3.

I always remember he scored away against Austria on his debut, and v Faroe Isles at Hampden in the qualifiers for Euro96, after about 5 minutes IIRC. Andy Walker was on the bench as well. I went as I was conveniently working up in Glasgow that week :roll:

 

Some tw?t took exception to the fact that I was English at a Scotland match - not long after he "let me off" after SJM scored and I went mental.

Feck me I never new that it was cleared off the line ! I was at the game that day, in the Chelsea end, keeping my head down fear of a kickin from some handy looking boys behind me. When he went round the goalie I closed my eyes and took a deep breath waiting for him to score. To this day I was convinced he missed.

Peter Thompson, was a little past his best when we got him, but what a great winger, his touch was graceful and his skill was sheer brilliance, and he was a very nice bloke to talk to.

Can't see that anyone went for Nolan!

A pre-injured Andy Walker, but for that crutiate ligament injury, he could have been THE best striker we have ever had.

As it was, he is still a legend!

 

It was a golden era for the Whites, one that will probably never be repeated, and fear that we never see the the likes of him again.

 

Gota agree with this, pure class. However in the post Rioch/Todd era it has to Youri - The man was a genuis!

now now careful what you wish for

At this specific moment in time, I would have Nolan back in a heartbeat.

I doubt Megson would use Nolan properly.

Nolan's best football at Bolton was in a 4-5-1 formation.To go to this formation and use Nolan most effectively we'd need to drop Elmander and use Davies as the target man.,that won't happen though.

Megson won't use a game plan that includes the club record signing out of the team.

 

We'd get a 4-4-2 with Nolan on the right wing or something as inappropriate.

Indeed. The only player (and I don't just mean Bolton here) who Ive watched at a game and could genuinely tag the phrase "genius" onto.

Julio Cesar :good:

I think youri was the same but okocha was in him prime age wise.

Julian Darby got 14 O-levels back when exams were difficult: does this count?
