June 7, 201115 yr leave out the "we are bolton" nonsense he's a shit striker in a yo-yo team I'd rather take Kevin Phillips on a free if budgets are tight you could spend the same on a striker from the contient who's been bagging goals a plenty in France or Portugal or somewhere, or even an untried Championship striker they may not be proven and may take time to adapt to the PL - but from what I've seen, Jerome is not proven and is still trying to adapt!! sorry zico.....ill leave out the we are bolton nonense next time. my apologies.
June 7, 201115 yr you didnt point any facts out in your response to my post. also you adressed me in a mannor that i find a tad ridiculous. You said Klasnic wasnt the answer but you believed signing Jerome was viable? Klasnic scored nearly double the goals Jerome did last season and played a lot less. Thats why i said dont talk shit because you were talking shit. You also patronised people by saying "we are Bolton" as if to say we should be happy signing a shit cunt like Jerome. You also came out with another pearl "He is better than anything we have at the club now" Its a fucking forum, you dont address people. I was putting my opinion across just like you did.

I was putting my opinion across just like you did. you adressed me personally by telling me not to talk shit.... so do you see any club in the land at the moment willing to part ?5million for ivan klasnic? if your really happy for him to lead our front line next season then hey ho. who did i patronise?...myself?...i was simply saying we need to be realistic in our transfer options...and im still waiting for any alternatives by the way ....we are bolton and we have nowhere near the buying power of the likes of newcasltle or sunderland and the likes,who are our closest counterparts table wise..that was my point. take your rose tinted specs off pal.

I said you were talking shit because you were. You said Jerome is better than anything we have which is wrong. If being realistic means spunking money on dogshit players then we really are fucked. Nobody will bid ?5 million for Klasnic but that doesnt make him worse than Jerome by any stretch of the imagination. Jerome isnt fit to lick the sweat from in between Klasnic' toes never mind lace his boots. I also didnt say i wanted Klasnic lead the line for us next season, i just pointed out he is a miles better striker than Jerome which isnt hard. Klasnic scores more in a bit part role so that would make Jerome totally pointless.
June 7, 201115 yr I agree with a lot of things you post on here Gonzo but suggesting Jerome is better than Klasnic? Not having any of that..
June 7, 201115 yr who? think i was being a drongo skimming the thread thought you meant dj, if so, ignore post
June 8, 201115 yr In the last three years we've signed a Swedish international striker for approx ?9m, we signed a Croatian international striker, we then signed one of England's most promising youngsters on loan for half a season. So, can someone please explain why Cameron Jerome is suddenly "our standard" ??? I think there're too many people doing our club a disservice with comments like that. PS - In case you're wondering why I ommited Robbie Blake, it's becuase he was clearly signed as a dressing room compere, not as a player.
June 8, 201115 yr A Croatian international striker with 2 new kidneys whose fitness problems led to him being farmed out on loan.
June 8, 201115 yr A Croatian international striker with 2 new kidneys whose fitness problems led to him being farmed out on loan. who has a belting goals to minutes ratio regardless of how good it is overall (I know it's in the top 10 ever in the PL, but that means nowt) - what it does mean for us it would seem with enough time on the field, he scores I still don't see why then Cameron Jerome is acceptable
June 8, 201115 yr A Croatian international striker with 2 new kidneys whose fitness problems led to him being farmed out on loan. ... yet his scoring record was and still is far superior than someone with two fully functioning kidneys. Not sure if you know any Brum fans, but I reckon if you asked them who they'd rather have up front between Jerome and Klasnic they'd opt for our man.
June 8, 201115 yr sorry zico.....ill leave out the we are bolton nonense next time. my apologies. ok, well what did you mean by it? that despite being in the PL for 10 years now, and with a reputation seemingly good enough to go and find better players on the continent, players on loan from big clubs or aspiring lower league players who may or may not cut it that despite all that, we should realistically be looking at splashing out ?5M on a player who has a 1 in 4/5 ratio in a shit team, a player who they signed for ?3M and who scored 4 goals when they were relegated that that's our realistic level? it's a step backwards for me, not forwards that plust the fact he's shit gladly hold my hand up if he signs and bags them in but i just don't see it ?3M tops
June 8, 201115 yr Just to get things straight I don't want Jerome, certainly not at ?5m. I can however see why OC sees him as a possible replacement for SKD. The only reason Klasnic with his goal scoring record is at Bolton is because of his fitness issues.
June 8, 201115 yr I would prefer DJ Campbell for that sort of money. He reportedly has a ?1.75 million release clause in his contract and is worth a gamble at the price I feel.
June 8, 201115 yr The only reason Klasnic with his goal scoring record is at Bolton is because of his fitness issues. can everyone stop getting shot! we are bolton he's only here because he can't pass etc does being in the PL for 10 years and all that not mean owt anymore? it's not 1991
June 8, 201115 yr He reportedly has a ?1.75 million release clause in his contract and is worth a gamble at the price I feel. Seconded.
June 8, 201115 yr can everyone stop getting shot! we are bolton he's only here because he can't pass etc does being in the PL for 10 years and all that not mean owt anymore? it's not 1991 A Croatian international with his goalscoring record doesn't sign for bolton/fulham/blackburn unless there's an underlying issue. If he wasn't broken he'd be at a spurs size club and earning twice as much.

If he wasn't broken he'd be at a spurs size club and earning twice as much. maybe there are better players for the other better clubs to choose from he's not exactly shit but we're not either anymore Kalinic has a v good record and he signed for Blackburn Clint Dempsey is a player of the same calibre neither of them appear to have fitness issues Ronaldo was a fat cunt if a player is good enough they'll find their level
June 8, 201115 yr I would prefer DJ Campbell for that sort of money. Does Jerome fit in the young, exciting player category that we were only interested in last week? If not why blow ?5m on him?
June 8, 201115 yr Cameron Jerome,?5 million. No way. Surely not, please no! A very frustrating player and we are frustrated enough thanks!
June 9, 201115 yr Seems they are looking for ?8m Sun newspaper link Cheeky ?5m bid????? Tell them to fuck off the cheeky bastards!!! Edited June 9, 201115 yr by tylswhite
June 9, 201115 yr ?5m for Jerome is a "cheeky bid" ? They can fook right off. ?3m (for his pace) or forget it.
June 9, 201115 yr I see SuperJohn reckons that Coyle should pitch in for David Goodwillie from Dundee Utd. He does score some goals but SPL is not the highest of levels. Still maybe a better option than Jerome I reckon.

Still maybe a better option than Jerome I reckon. So basically, if we're to believe the papers we're after a failed premier league striker and a lad who's had a decent season In a league most of us on here could play well in. Worrying times.
