Good buy, good look, good riddance.

See, it's not just the Bolton website that can come up with a play on words.
Starting with the good riddance, it has come as a shock but a purely pleasant one that myopic, can't run properly, looks like Terry out of Emmerdale referee Rob Styles has decided to hang his whistle and cards in. His penalty decision at Trafford Park last season even had the Ginger Special One and Bolton fans agreeing, although that didn't last long, obviously. Here at X Towers we agree that referees have a hard time (I actually passed the ref's course but have never taken a match, preferring my limbs where they are thank you) but when even the Madrid bound Paris lover doesn't appeal, you know it's time to go. Apparently he's only 45. I didn't realise cataracts could become a problem that young. A Ho-Ho-Ho.

Now a good look at the transfer targets that Bolton are allegedly in for other than Miguel Velozzzzzzzzzo (this also covers the 'buy' of the title). The Express have reported that the club are renewing their interest in Sean Davis. Here at the Towers we are giving this a cautious 7/10. Bolton seriously need a central midfielder to replace Gavin McCann and Davis is as good as any. Bear in mind though that a lot of people fall into this category, ranging from Ronaldo to Lazarus, but he seems to have worked well with Matty Taylor while at Portsmouth, and we'll get him for nowt.
The Independent report that Moumouni Dagano is a target. Errr...me neither. We give this an X probability of 2/10. Sounds very like someone's agent talking them up.
And that's it. Here at the Towers we don't bother with goal.com or anyone like that, you may as well make up your own rumour than reading that.

In other news, the hair that is Ivan Campo has managed to pick up a parking ticket for having windows too heavily tinted in Ipswich. Now surely he was trying to not look out of the windows rather than stopping people looking in. We all know what Suffolk's like.

Our friend's over at Soccerlens have posted their thoughts on who will be the first manager out of the door next season. The Ginger Special One has come in as being as vulnerable as Mick McCarthy. Now, bearing in mind that the only people more vulnerable are Suntan Phil and Sparky maybe we're all going to get what we want for Christmas.

Over the next few weeks we'll be looking at what former Bolton players that are still kicking a ball around have been doing this past season, although we all know that Anelka and Eidur have picked up a couple of medals. Apparently Vincent Candela had some sort of Ben Hur situation at his retirement game. All Jussi is getting at his testimonial is Hibs.

And finally......the Michael Ricketts watch this week sees the striker who manages to put more weight on in pre season training weighing into the current financial situation at the Jamaican Football Federation.
