[SVH]

Never heard of them. Any good?

 

[Monkey Tennis]

If they were Championship standard, a Championship team would sign them.

Kieron Lee just about Shef wed best player for the last eight years...Got a hip injury but managed 28 games last season in the championship. A host of clubs in lge 1/2 were after him.
Declan john is a player who to be frank i had never heard of. 20 odd games for Cardiff in the Premier plus a further 30 odd games for Rangers in the Scottish Premier add to that 4 full Wales caps tells me he is decent.

If they were Championship standard, a Championship team would sign them.

And if they were lge 1 standard a lge 1 team would sign them yet they are both willing to drop down to lge 2

And if they were lge 2 standard a lge 2 team would sign them....

Tutte, Doyle, Delfounsoa and Sarcevic all turned down offers from lge 1 pre season

 

[Chris FGR]

Not surprised, all good players. How will you fit a load of Championship/league 1 standard players into the budget cap though?

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Declan John was absolutely shite at Rangers and that's the only club I've seen him play at.

 

[Chris FGR]

Is he related to Elton John?

Creative accounting. Sarcervic,Doyle,Crawford and Delfounso are proberbly our 4 highest earners though you could add Comley and Baptiste to be on a decent Wedge.
We signed our big hitters pre cap and they will be classed as the lge2 menial salary 68k
Crellin and White are on loan and they are most likely to go back to there parent club.
May get Swansea to pay part of Johns wages.
The cap is there to be exploited,lets not pretend we are all paying 1.5m a season

Cannot come back against you.....I know nothing about the guy,apart from what it says on his Wikki

Can see it now in the Bolton local paper "Former Manchester United star Kieran Lee set to sign for Wanderers".

We have 5 key players we need to tie down, but the likelyhood is all 5 will leave at least at the end of the season.

Dan Happe - Already heard rumours the club are happy to offload him in this window, came through our youth team and is now a very well established centre half. 6'5 Left footed with a good range of passing and good defensive attributes. No chance he was ever going to stay beyond the last contract extension he signed last season.

Danny Johnson - He's from the North East, so I'd imagine any northern club in League One would take a punt on him. It would take a very silly amount of money for the club to part with him now IMO, I'd happily let him leave for nothing in the summer because his goals in the short term would be near on impossible to replace. 50/50 on whether he will stay or go in this window, but I think he will stay unless silly money is involved. No chance he is with us next season, no chance because a club in League One will gamble on him.

Lawrence Vigouroux - Probably the best keeper in this league and I don't make those sort of statements often, but he is too good to be playing in League Two. No club will pay a fee for him as he's 27, but he's already been tweeting his best bits of this season, so he is putting himself out there! Will almost certainly leave us at the end of the season.

James Brophy - One of the quickest and most skillful players in this league, deserves to play higher on that alone. But his end product isn't always the best, which is why I doubt anyone would pay money for him and he's 27 at the end of the season. We've had him 3 and a half years and I think he will move on at the end of the season. Would be a useful signing for any League One side on a free, if he screws his head on a bit better he can still progress.

Conor Wilkinson - Always had talent, but his fitness has always been an issue, last season he was in and out of the team and managed 5 goals. When he gets a run of games and gets going he is a very useful forward and this season he's added some quality goals to his game with 10 in total, he was the same for Dagenham as well. IMO he is replaceable and we have players who are more than capable of replacing him, he's only had 2 good seasons in a career dogged by injuries if we can get a fee for him now I'd say its worth taking. If he stays until the end of the season and he keeps adding goals to his name he will be off anyway, because he will be worth a punt to any League One side on a free. He also has family I think in the North West - He was regularly seen heading to that part of the country on the trains after several away games last season.

Jamille Matt has triggered an extra year option on his contract, which is good news. Getting on a bit but has done a good job for us up top.

I'm surprised Masi stands for it, wha twith there being such a massive rivalry between Utd and Bolton.

Certainly would like to see Johnson up here, but i think he is too much like Doyle. Your keeper would be perfect for us
The other three we have plenty of cover......If i could take one player it would be Vigouroux

 

[Chris FGR]

You've already got Crellin and Gilks, why do you need yet another keeper? Surely you need to be looking at CB's?

I mean seriously, your comebacks are worse than that of my 3 year olds. Do you actually put any thought into them at all?

And someone who can't spell probably correctly, or even use proper punctuation (Cheltenham only rivals, what does that even mean?), should not be calling anyone else uneducated.

Its a forum i dont spellcheck........Man U are Boltons main rivals maybe not the other way round, but you find that hard to believe. Until 1997 our grounds were 9 miles apart. Farnworth,Walkden and Little Hulton had a big Bolton Presence and these areas bordered Salford who were mainly Man Utd fans.
These areas where basically Slums in the 60s/70s hence the would be trouble when they met

 

[GTFCfish]

Man U are Boltons main rivals

 

[masi51]

yes can you tell me what is strange about that
who were Bury main rivals when they were in div 4 and we was in the premier league/div1 us

Bury have never been Boltons rivals on the Bolton side, just the same with Man U and there plastic fans.....local Man U fans know differently

Somehow your 'banter' has managed to get worse.

We need a centre back so expect us to bring in someone. Probably a loan rather than a permanent.

Taylor has also been quoted as saying he will be having stern words with players who are not needed in an attempt to move them on. Top of the list is surely Nicky Ajose who’s massively out of favour. It’s a shame as he’s actually played pretty well in the games he’s had this season but there’s obviously been a falling out somewhere along the way.

I’d also be fine if we cashed in on Randell Williams. He’s going to walk for free in the summer so even if we got £75k for him, I’d take it. He’s not been anywhere near his best this season and we have others who can take his place.
