Alan Nixon: "Top Liverpool starlet Cameron Branagan will Ben allowed out on loan in Jan.

Bolton lead the race for the 20 year old midfielder"

Bolton Wanderers are pleased to announce the signing of Marc Wilson on a one-year deal. https://bit.ly/2LK0yqy 

 

Decent signing on a freebie

Decent enough 

He usually puts emojis up quite a bit in advance of an official announcement. As he says they indicate a deal is done, but often he puts them there before a medical.

 

The best example being Stephen Darby last season. He indicated a done deal. Then nothing. Turns out one of his medical forms from Bradford had been lost and they needed to obtain it before the deal could be officially announced. Took weeks.

Having an emoji update is a new low for this forum ha

It looks like we are assembling a solid squad, not going to rip up any trees like Wolves did last season but also not lose first 12 games or whatever we did.

2pts from 11 games I believe

Quoting fixed.

 

I reckon we'll have at least 3 points by that stage this season.

Wilson looks like wilbraham!!

De de de de de De, looks like wilbraham. Repeat.....

Some decent signings no excuses for bad start this season

it's about time we didn't have one in this league

 

think we had our 4 of our worst starts ever, in our last 4 seasons the championship, and for a couple of them optimism was way higher than it is now

Just had a quick reckon up of players released who played a reasonable part of last season compared to the ones who have come in. The incomings all look better than the released players which is a decent start. If we can get Robinson back for another season, get Wyke/similar, a centre half and keeper, we'll have done good business

Stolen this from Twitter but looking at who we let go/lost through returning to parent clubs, player for player I'd say we look stronger on paper;

 

Howard > Walker(?)

Dervite > Hobbs(?) 

Burke 

Robinson 

Henry 

Pratley > Lowe

Morais > Wildschutt

Wilbraham > Donaldson

Flanagan > Olkowski 

Clough > Oztumer

Karacan 

Madine > Wyke(?)

Derik > Wilson 

 

Still a few more needed yet though

Striker needed and if we can get Robinson back - think he will have certainly got a better team on paper than last season.

 

And at least we have quite a few new faces in before the season starts, rather than the usual excuse of taking 4-6 weeks to get up to speed.

Centre midfield looks weak to me. Need a more dynamic type in there. 

Give him a chance not listening to the Sunderland lot.

Good pedigree for our level. Can't judge him at Sunderland they were a mess.

We’ve all done it!

I once bought a tracky top worn by. Brian Robson at a cup final for thirty quid. I was stone cold sober.

Kept it a few years then got £150 for it. More than happy to make a decent profit off a red.

It takes me at my age about 12 fucking games every season to get use to who the fuck is who

When I was 14 - I swapped the shirt Andy Walker wore for his comeback game v Arsenal for an eighth.
