SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Telegraph has it today that Cahill didn't fancy a move to Tottenham. Thing is, and I know this rarely makes much of a difference these days, Cahill is a Northern Lad. He's from Sheffield, and I know he was at Villa but certainly most Northern lads wouldn't fancy moving down to the big smoke. Maybe he's either holding out for Liverpool or one of the Manc clubs or would genuinely consider staying (I don't see it being a problem for him as long as he continues to get into the England team!)? I know it's an alien concept in today's Premier League, but maybe he's even loyal!?!

SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Well a manager at his local dining place has told me that his family are very settled in these parts That can count for a lot. Most regular people (I'm not saying footballers aren't, but you get my drift) would not shift down to London, uprooting their family, unless it was very beneficial. We'll just have to hold out hope that he's that kind of guy, and not an SWP who can seemingly live nomadic.
Guest Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Well a manager at his local dining place has told me that his family are very settled in these parts even so, let's get him on a longer contract, just in case

I know it's an alien concept in today's Premier League, but maybe he's even loyal!?! On the assumption he remains in the england starting 18 (?) I think the only thing to keep him at the reebok for an additional 12 months would be a mega fucking pay deal, on the assumption he wouldnt get in either filths or citys first team
Mounts Kipper Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Telegraph has it today that Cahill didn't fancy a move to Tottenham. If true that is music to my ears, and it shows Cahill has a brain, Spurs way of being top 4 if BWFC can keep in the top half of the league the only reailistic improvement Cahill can make is to sign for a top 4 club and hopefully makes it a little more likely we can persuade him to sign.
Gonk Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I don't think that there is a cat in hells chance of him signing an extension to his contract. One of the two manchester teams is the most likely destination if his family are settled. Possibly Liverpool -they seem to be having a resurgence. Of the London clubs, I reckon Chelsea are the only likely outcome, particularly if John Terry 'puts in a word' and enjoys playing alongside him. Spuds have ideas above their station. They have peaked at 4th a couple of seasons ago. Arsenal are imploding.

We put him in the shop window and would hope he would ensure we get something back for him!

Don't think it makes him any more likely to sign but if he didn't fancy Tottenham (and why would he when he might get a shot at a top 4/champions league and has played for England with little old Bolton) then there should'nt be any proplem with his attitude until January.

I think it might give us better chance the top 4 clubs already have world class defenders and Cahill will have to break into the first 11 which as good as he is will be difficult that would mean he has to wait his turn and this might jeopardise his place in the England team, if he stays with Bolton he is guaranteed a start every week and as long as he is doing the business for England his place in the team is safe.
MalcolmW Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 He has taken Rio F's England place and may keep it. Would he be behind Rio if he joined that lot?
birch-chorley Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I cant see anything but him leaving for free to be honest, come January he can talk to other teams and the BIG 3 of Man Utd, Chelsea and City will all offer him a deal. Spurs and Arsenal may make a bid for him in January but Cahill will not be interested as he will want guaranteed Champions League football and only the big 3 can offer that. I think we just have to accept the fact we will lose him in the summer, enjoy our last full season with him at the back and enjoy watching England games with one of our own at the back in the first 11. Next summer he has a great chance of being in Fabios first 11 and for that reason I am proud as punch.
Casino Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 he can't do owt in january with english clubs that he can't do now
superjohnmcginlay Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 He blew that ball a fair distance there. very good sir
Traf Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 It crossed my mind a weeks ago when I saw this: He seems to do it quite often.
Didledee Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Cahill's legs are almost perfectly inline with Bulgaria's number twenties arms, reminds me of a stick insect for some reason.

Traf Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Last one for tonight: a young Cahill learning his art.
no balls Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 It crossed my mind a weeks ago when I saw this: He seems to do it quite often. He looks like Pob there, bless him.
