JimmyRiddle Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 if he's thinking of playing wilshere as a beardsley type, then blake as cover aint the end of the world I was just thinking before I read your post that I always thought Blake was a poor mans/lower league Beardsley! I am certain we are gonna play 4 2 3 1, with the 3 being two wingers and Wilshire hopefully. So if Blake can come on and give JW a break every now and again for 20 minutes, allowing us to keep the same shape then I think its a great signing all things considered. Got to trust Coyle if he's worked with the bloke, he has always looked a decent player to me albeit in lower divisions, he has always been well liked by the teams he has been at which says a lot too.

passmosster Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I am certain we are gonna play 4 2 3 1, with the 3 being two wingers and Wilshire hopefully. Wenger will see what he has and how Wilshere plays in the pre-season before he lets him go on loan next season. A bit like us with Danny Ward probably. The Blake signing has me worried, not because he wasn't a reasonable championship player a couple of seasons ago, but because we wouldn't consider signing a player like this if we had a decent transfer kitty. It tells me that Coyle probably has much less than expected to play with. I would still love to see us get a bomb on striker with a bit of pace, probably black from the lower leagues. But I can't say that I have seen enough recently to name a good target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonk Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Always happy to share, id rather do it whispering but thats out of my hands Oh, has the pre-season home friendly against a decent team been announced yet Iamout Friendlies are shite, particularly home ones. The last decent one was Peter Taylor's testimonial, and that was post season iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last decent one was Peter Taylor's testimonial, and that was post season iirc. true, i remember when i used to work at de vere whites as a part timer, and we played inter milan and on my first day me and another lad had to show inter to a board room to discuss some things, i met davids, veron and crespo. it was brilliant. think we lost 1-0 though.

BWFC = Priceless Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Good signing, not a first 11 player but a decent player to bring of the bench and to use as cover, that is one thing we were lacking last season and it was depth in the squad to cope with injuries etc, good piece of business.

Ands1 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I've followed Robbie Blakes career since he caught my eye playing for Bradford, class him very much the same as Dean Windass. Now cast your mind back several months ago when Megson tried to resign Nolan from Newcastle, why? because Nolans a character in the dressing room, you need banter in the club, a character that gets you buzzing everyday in training that buzz carries through to match days as well. Can you imagine the characters in Boltons changing rooms when Owen Coyle was playing? Super John, Sunbed, Branagan all lads who lift the quieter boys. I feel Blake can do a job as others had said coming on as sub etc, I think he's been brought in to lift the whole playing staff, Owen knows what he's like both mentally & playing ability, I trust Owens decision to sign him.

snowball Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 some of you lot really need to get a grip. No it's not a brilliant signing but Coyle has worked with him before and let's hope he knows more about it than the likes of Homer. We are Bolton, we often make uninspiring looking signings that come off. Remember Bob Taylor and Ian Marshall, both did a job for us. Plus the guy who described Petrov as a'fringe' player. Think you should go and support another team mate, if you can't get excited about his signing you might just find yourself doomed to disappointment.

Not sure I see your logic, all this signing means is that we have not dug into the transfer kitty, If I have just got paid but have a cheap curry for me tea it does not mean I am not going to go out and have a proper meal at some point the same month.
