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"

^^^ 2 stone in weight

To be fair to him the weight he put on in the summer appeared to muscle. Exactly what he needed and not an easy thing to do along with keeping cardio vascular in check.

 

He's just a big massive fanny and has the touch of a rapist.

Felipe Morais has signed until the end of the season.

He doesn't sound very Portuguese btw.

Looks to have decent technique is he a winger or a playmaker? 

Suppose it depends on the bid, maybe it was a loan bid but we would only sell

Or whilst most don't like him, as a player he has a value and the bid didn't meet the powers that be's valuation of him

I see what you're saying but even the opportunity to get wages off the books (in full or part) and free up a place would surely have been of interest.

Not sure what his value would be at the moment- is he out of contract in the Summer?- either way its not going to be a lot.

IF someone did show an interest on balance we'd have benen better off giving him a free transfer, which would allow the other club the opportunity to give him a bit more to improve the deal to him.

Wiki says winger, looks like he doesn't score many, not sure if he get's many assists, can't find any stats for that.

 

edit, well here's this

So I don't have all the stats,

 

There is more to life than stats Yank. When on song he's an exciting player to watch, capable of making things happen in and around the box - or scoring 25 yard free kicks (they don't count according to you!)

 

Overall it's a tough shout, I'm still not convinced he's ever been firing on all cylinders like he was at the start under Lennon - lot of injuries, and he isn't really suited to our current style or even the physicality of this league. We obviously need the cash but there is definitely a chance he could turn out to be worth significantly more than the price we got for him.

Scoring penalties IS exactly as easy as I think.

 

You've got 192 square feet of goal to hit, and only one person in the way.

 

 

 

So why do Ronaldo and Messi miss them?

 

They're easy if the keeper and pressure ain't there.

 

Some goalkeepers are just unbeatable

Defo right winger. Bradford fans seem to think he's not been the same player since an injury. Maybe he just needs a fresh start?

Just been reading a bit about 'our viv'; Rowett described him as the fastest player at the club at the time.

Sounds promising, can play on the left too.

I know but you started it by discounting his penalty record and ability to score from set peices and bringing your nan into it

 

But you can see his value to us this season? Could've been worth more than 3m in the long run

 

Fuck it

 

I didn't discount his penalty record, I said that if you don't count them in his total he's scored the same as Madine.

 

The real question here is how difficult penalties are considered. I may have oversimplified them, but they're certainly easier to score than a goal from open play (The grandma thing was probably a touch too far though).

 

I haven't seen Zach play as much as you all have, for obvious reasons, but whenever I've seen him he seems very immobile but with good feet. That isn't what you need in League 1. He could turn out to be a worldbeater, but I think if we look back in 10 years, 2.5m which "saved" the club will look like VERY good business.

First up, you don't know me (so please don't pull out the Yank comments). Bolton born-and-bred, who just happens to live and work overseas.

 

Secondly, I didn't ever say that the free kicks didn't count.

 

See above reply to Zico - we may live to regret this, but I don't think we will.

I've had a watch of the interviews, Chris Long impresses, he'll be better than proctor, Phil Morris talks about being hard working, so an upgrade from Chris Taylor, this Viv character looks really promising. ALF has goals in him and these guy look to offer more creativity than the duckeggs we've let go.

All in all really happy with these signings quick direct players and all 4.of them can score goals good business by Pp and KA championship here we come.

Maybe we'd better wait till we've actually seen them play,i remember seeing a youtube clip of Daniel Braaten before he signed for us and he looked the dogs.

In the real world he was biz.

Le Fondre really wanted to come and play at Bolton Wanderers.

 

Fucking brilliant.

More Feeney than Youri from that roundup but let's see

Feeney divided opinion more than marmite.

 

Just hope they bring something different.

Feeney is everything we've been missing all season.

I'm quite excited by our new signings. Watching ALFs goals back from last time he was here, he gets across his man very well to poach goals. We've missed that badly this season, it's something we've not had since ALF.

 

Also pleased we have got a couple of genuine wingers too. Square pegs in square holes at last

We still only have 1 decent midfield player.

Osede needs a chance. I also understand the dislike of Thorpe but I think he's not that bad and does a job, Spearing is the stand out midfielder and I have to admit we could have done with some fresh talent in midfield especially with Pratleys injury.

Spearing must be fucked.
