superkev Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's obvious he wanted Sordell and would have gone in for him next season. It's just that someone else wanted him and he had to act quickly. Why he is not playing is still a mystery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritofBurnden Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm not saying it's easy to find good players cheap, but surely you have to do better than chucking it on a new 4th/5th choice striker. Â It's not that long ago that people were saying that Klasnic should be starting every game. Now they want to know why Sordell isn't. Â Sordell was signed as cover for the three main strikers. Klasnic and Davies are out of contract in the Summer. We could have waited until then to sign a replacement and missed out. Â I doubt he'll be '4th/5th choice' next season.

Pottsy Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I love the way Bolton supporters think we just needed to buy replacements for Holden , Lee, Sturridge and Elmander. WE AIN'T GOT NO MONEY.

Moderators Casino Posted April 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2012 so if we've no money, why spend it on sordell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't think anyone is suggesting Sordell starts every game, only that buying him is a bizarre way to use what little money we had. I think it's reasonable to think that for ?3mil we could've brought someone in to better replace our injured players, or just anyone, anyone at all, who could have some impact on us staying up. Â As it is, the three main strikers have scored a goal each this year, and yet he's nowhere to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sordell is yet another coyle mystery. Â He's a good championship player and he'll score goals for us next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvin marvin Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012  The idea that Elmander chose to start scoring because his contract was up, and then stop because he'd been given a new one in Turkey, is ridiculous. If he could do that, why not decide to score every week and sign for Barcelona?    Tom I have a funny feeling that you maybe a bigger statto than me, if you are see how many goals he scored in the first and second six months of each of his three years with us. I reckon the first six months of his final year will be far higher than any of the rest  Apologies in advance if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted April 10, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2012 I was puzzled at the time of the Sordell signing even more so though now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 How many good signings has coyle made? Â Holden? is that it? Â Plenty of bad uns and a lucky miss not signing Vela from Arsenal and ending up with Sturridge. Â Vela is having a decent La Liga season at Real Sociedad, scored 2 at weekend. Who's to say he wouldn't have bagged a few at Bolton if he was given the run Sturridge did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 we should hire megson to scout players  We did and he was sacked because the likes of Shittu, Knight and Taylor who cost ?10 million between them didn't get good enough results.

WE AIN'T GOT NO MONEY. The sound of the penny dropping is all we have   Allegedly watford recently accepted 3 million chocolate buttons, a packet of cadburys fingers and the assurance that elton john would be invited to Owen's end of season crack party in return for a striker. But keep that to yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrelli Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 We have six games to go, none of our strikers are really breaking any scoring records and they all look jaded at the moment. It just might be that in the remaining games Sordell IS used and keeps us up. I think he has held him back because Ngog was doing ok recently but looked tired against Fulham. I thought Sordell may have started at Newcastle but perhaps Swansea at home will be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUREADY2ROLL Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Robbie Blake - was that good policy?  Oh forgot he is a bit of a joker and might be good in the changing rooms  On the decision to give him another years contract (and he isn't the only one) then I would say that Coyle has got it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 He wasn't the quickest, granted, but by jove he scored some important goals for us and always tried his hardest. Â Out of all the ex-Bolton contingent currently at West Ham, he'd be the only one I'd have back here - woofter or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) you'd not have nolan over pratley  really?  nor faye over just about everybody?  fitness permitting, obviously  even fcuking vaz te over sordell   anyway, a mere tangent  ignore   There all pretty much like for like, Pratley playing in the championship would score plenty as would sordell, Nolan is on 60 k a week and Faye is about 40 but he was quality 6-7 years ago. In short I would not swap what we have for any of the West Ham players named. Edited April 11, 2012 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
