Kevin Nolan - Championships best player?

 

Good article on Nobby here. He seems to have rolled back the years to when he was in his early 20's and on the brink of an England call-up. Well played to the lad.

 

Megson SIGN HIM UP!

Always had time for Nobby, played for the shirt and got a lot of unwarranted and unnecessary abuse, I would love to see him back in a Bolton shirt, but, you know the old adage, 'never go back', Good luck to him wherever he plies his trade.

Absofcukinlutely!!!!!

 

[Sweep]

let's see if he still seems to be as good when he's back in the Premier League next year, that'll be the test for him

[Whizz]

Is he playing as a midfielder or off the forward? for me he was always better off skd. Too big and not mobile enough for a midfielder but great technical ability, hence some of the goals he used to score. Blackburn at home and Arsenal away spring to mind.

[frank_spencer]

Found his level IMO.

 

great servant to the club but god awful in his last 2 or so years here.

 

that said we always played better with him in the side even if he himself was shit.

[postman pat]

I Think it was one of Megsons better decisions... the lad needed a fresh chalenge & we needed the cash

[Guest Frandsen08]

found his level, and hopefully if he gets back in the prem he can keep it up.

 

i dont think it'll benefit either party if he came back, big fan of nolan though good luck to the lad

[Guest bwfcdan]

I'll be honest i thought it was a really poor decision to sell him.. i'd have him back at Bolton because i think he's better than any of our other midfielders..

[THunter]

A decent lad and I'm glad he's doing ok. But it was the right decision to sell him.

Your footballing opinions become more and more null and void with every post.

He WAS better but that time was at least 2 years before he left.

[Take Hunt Off]

Glad he his doing so well because he always gave 100 % despite the backbiting he endured & it has to said scored many a vital goal for us.

 

I think when we signed Anelka he was forced into a deeper midfield role which did'nt suit him & his form dipped .

 

Even post Anelka he was still not given the attacking licence that he had before , which for me is the only position he can play effectively

 

for someone without any pace to get so many goals shows his excellent positional ability especially when he playied off KD

 

compare that with the lack of positional nouse of Elmander

Alright then

[Zico]

Nolan was never a midfielder in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3

 

at his best playing off the striker in the 4-3-3 alladyce way

[Carlos]

Alright then

 

I'm beginning to think you are posting ridiculous statements for a laugh. It's the only explanation for your current bizarre form, unless you are concussed or on legal highs 24/7.

[White on Tyne]

They like him a lot up here. Was just in the Toon now and the front cover of the NUFC calendar has Nolan being mobbed by team mates after scoring, so obviously a favourite. Mind you the rest of the team are such ugly fuckers that may be the reason for the choice of picture.

Have to echo the "found his level" sentiments, and agree with Frank that we have to judge him on his last 2 years, and not an MOTD highlights package. And those two years were well below par, and we were getting ever-decreasing utility out of the lad.

 

Even in his goalscoring pomp for us, I still felt he looked not fully fit, that he was a passenger in many games, and and that he didn't have the skill to command a midfield and dictate the tempo as a top-class midfielder should. He seemed to have the canny knack of arriving in the right place at the right time ? la Paul Scholes, but without all the other bits that make the likes of Scholes top-class. And pointing and shouting a lot are not ample substitutes.

 

No doubting the lad's passion and effort - I backed him when he was here and wished him well on his departure - but it's my opinion on his footballing ability, and it's *out there*.

His goals equated to many many points won for the team. I think the fans under rated him. I have a canny feeling his scoring will continue in the Premier next year

[bolty58]

Top bloke and I am delighted he's doing well.

Kevin Nolan ?4m

 

Tamir Cohen ?37,000.

 

Pound for pound: I'd rather have Tami.
