It has been widely suggested on the BBC 606 forum that Bolton's transfer policy is to see who everyone else buys and then see what's left, bar the odd free transfer and a left back that West Brom fans want rid of....and quickly.
Not so says Bolton's assistant manager with the same name as the former Timmy Mallett sidekick in today's BEN. Bolton are being "deliberately methodical" in their approach he says, and then brings out the tired old line of the amount of players who have left the club who are still playing in the Premier League, which, granted, is not many but then again one of them has just gone down, Kevin Nolan who many expect to not be in the lower leagues for long, and the VAST majority now ply their trade in overseas top divisions and not the Championship and below. Obfuscation, smoke and mirrors? Oh, and Eidur is still available and Luis Garcia has become so.
Bolton have also been linked with Zat Knight. We give this an X-Towers rating of 8. AOB and Danny the Shit both had moments last season that would make Titus Bramble blush and Knight played alongside Cahill at the Villa. However, central defence is not where people are needed and there is a need for some sort of classy ball playing midfielder. Did I mention Eidur is still available. And Luis Garcia has become so.
Michael Rickett's globe trotting doesn't cease in this week's watch. He has just managed to get a sponsorship of $2million for a Jamaican football competition. Fully expect him to be running for President within the month.
