Nomad Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Neil Lennon has confirmed that if players are not paid in December they can give 14 days notice and leave. Hope we are "in secret discussions" with a few that might want a job playing for Cotts. Wouldn't want us doing anything underhand of course!

Dynamite Red Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Why would we want Bolton players who are probably earning a fortune and low on confidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. There's quality in their side still. Zach Clough would be a good investment. Ben Amos, Josh Vela, Jay Spearing, Mark Davies, David Wheater, Darren Pratley - any of them off the top of my head would add to the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten minutes of rough Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 How many times have we been here? Take no notice of all this brinkmanship, they will not be wound up, and we won't be signing any of their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I would take Darren Pratley if he could get back to something like the form he showed when he played for Swansea. He could be exactly what we're looking for in front of the back three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure clubs around us could list 7 of our players they wouldn't mind in their squad. Not all of the Bolton players I listed would necessarily be 1st 11 players, but players that could add to our small squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the number of permanent signings we have, in defence we have zero back-up considering we play with three centre-backs. We won't be keeping Baker, and we would probably have to pay a decent chunk for Moore if he does well enough to merit a transfer. Regardless, if a player of Wheater's quality, regardless of Bolton's last few years, is available on a free and you have gaps in your squad, you'd have to be a fool to pass that up.

We're playing in a division one under arguably the best in the world. If we want to stay there unfortunately that comes at a price. Finding a Codger like player another 4 or 5 times (Defence, Midfield etc.) is possible but highly unlikely, so the only way to survive is to fork out the dosh or sink!

They would certainly add to it, but surely the first question in the case of say, Jay Spearing is how come he's been unable to regularly get into a side that is rock bottom and has been so all season? Next factor in the issue that many of them are from the North and with most of the division geographically between us and them, any we might be interested in will probably have other (nearer) suitors. Only Mark Davies (who has a questionable injury record in the past) is worth any serious consideration to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Mark Davies (who has a questionable injury record in the past) is worth any serious consideration to me.. I wondered that about Spearing. Rated him at Liverpool but seems to have stagnated, rather than progressed, at Bolton. The players I highlighted were simply ones that would add to the squad, in reply to the post I quoted, without taking into consideration location, wages, injury status etc. Of course these players may well have other suitors but I was making a point in reply to DR who seemed to dismiss their squad based on their current league position.

Davefevs Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 @GrahamC beat me to it....Mark Davies from that list. Others: Moxey - LB LWB wasn't he Exeter originally? Amos - GK more experienced cover for Frank That's about it though. I accept the Pratley comments, but not sure he fits the age profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray White Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Mark Davies is a very good creative goal scoring midfielder but his injury record is terrible. I don't see any reason why Pratley would want to stay up north if hypothetically speaking, we were interested. He's lived in South Wales before and is from London originally so surely closer to home for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I wouldnt want any of their players. They were poor against us and Pratley is definitely passed his best. They were shocking still dont understand how we didnt win and how they nearly even stole it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Surprised to read Pratley is only 30. If we could get him anywhere near his Swansea standard we would have a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Clough is the only one I'd really try to go for. Maybe that Kamara but I don't know too much about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
