  • Coyle has the midas touch of getting fringe players who are not quite good enough and turning them into first team players who are not quite good enough.

    I'm not sure we'd have seen out Saturday's game without him.   He still has plenty to offer as a substitute and I'd rather he was doing it for us than for someone else.

  • Is coyle in some sort of Eddie Davies version of Brewsters Millions??

18 hours ago id imagine hes here now

 

Next tweet will be "Wow. That Zat Knight sure is a doofus."

Now I'm not saying he will be shit or decent, but surely we are scraping the barrel with signings like this

Our very own SEB.

Stuart Holden didn't turn out to be bad n I'd never heard of him before he came here. For some reason, the decent MLS players adapt well to English football.

Exactly! I think a lot of Bolton fans need to realise that we can no longer sign experienced Premier League players in January, as their prices are often inflated. If this guy has half the impact Stu Holden then we'll have a decent player on our hands.

Masterplan in buying from America..

 

Cheaper players

Cheaper wages

no language barrier !!

looks that way, grim aint it

you really are a proper ray of sunshine

I for one will give him a chance and will not complain for at least 11 minutes

Has any of you kids checked him out on champman yet

Am I the only one who wonders why we keep looking at over rated , over priced foreign players

What happened to the academy

Trevor Brooking...., what are you doing, and where are the future english players

Or are we waiting for the next Nick Barmby or have West Ham got the dibs on them all....

I think you'll find if anyone is over rated and over priced its the English players.

 

Which means clubs like bolton are forced to do the bulk of their shopping on the foreign markets.

 

As for the FA's youth facilities they're under construction at the minute.

 

Our own academy had had a large chunk of money invested in it over the past few years but these things take time to produce results.

Tim Ream is currently on ?35,000 a YEAR.. Sebastien Le Toux is on $122,000,

 

I doubt they will come in demanding 40k a week and can see why Coyles so keen to poach from over there..

 

Theres also minimal language barrier which will help adjust !

Spot on that, english players are way over priced. Plus the only ones we get left with are the shite no one wants. You can get lukcy on the foreign market and find players for much cheaper who are much better than the english available to us and possibly even better than alot of english bigger clubs are going for. Why its foreign market for me all the time (although im not convinced this le toux is the answer - whats his scoring record in the states, if it aint better than 1 in 2 im not sure hes going to cut it over here)

It's about 1 in 3

25 goals and 20 assists from an AM who plays just behind the striker is a pretty decent strike rate tbh. Don't know where it leaves Mavies though?

At least he has a record of scoring some goals which is better than some of the signings we go for. The mls is not a bad standard anymore and as already stated its an opportunity to bring players in on very reasonable wages compared to any one playing in the premier league. if he turns out to be waste of space then no massive loss but if he turns out to be a 15 goal a season plus striker we will have hit the jackpot

Lewho ?

 

Here is the usual youtube montage

 

He'll never blend in, he keeps getting in the box

Have we been linked with anyone from Burnley yet, or do we have all their dead wood?
