JoeAman08 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 If he put his head down and could stay fit I could see him doing well here. We do play the kind of football that can get you goals(yes I know we've been short recently but lots of missed chances rather than no chances). He could be here a year and get that move next winter or even in the summer if he still feels like BCFC can't take him further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 In the event a Bolton fan stops to think for a moment, and perhaps many have, they would be sad he is going but grateful and respectful that, according to media reports, we are offering their club what no other appears to be doing and that is a very decent offer; look at Brum offering 750k... what a bunch of 'cheap scum bags, kicking us while we are down' I hear the Bolton faithful say. One might see a scenario whereby the smarter Bolton fans actually have a 'bitter sweet' soft spot for us after this as the club that paid them a very decent wedge to stave off the administrator, at least for now.

Rich Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Don't like this: Clough remains undecided on whether he should join one of Wanderers’ relegation rivals in the Championship. He was left at home for Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Eastleigh and has now spoken about personal terms with City. “The fee has been accepted but I don’t know how negotiations have gone It is really disappointing because he has only been with us for a year,” Lennon said. “He is one who has come through the ranks and one we think is a prized asset but we are going to lose him.” Asked if a move to Bristol City would be a sideways step at a formative stage of his career, Lennon said he would offer advice to the 20-year-old if asked. Share article “I can’t make that call publicly,” he said. “I will speak to Zach and his family privately if they want me to. “We don’t want him to go because I think there is a lot more football in him to come. We want to bring him on a bit more. But the nature of the circumstances we find ourselves in as a club, money dictates what we are doing.” Have we any history with Lennon? Having said that, he has to act on Boltons best interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Bolton's fans are reacting no differently to how a lot of us would if the situation was reversed and we were having to sell Joe Bryan to them, for example. If he moves and saves them from going pop, will he be known as 'The Macron Stadium 1'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Backward step? FFS No one in football at the moment would be a backward step from Bolton, does he have better options to him?

Ashtonwurzel Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 He would have said yes by now if he was coming I feel, maybe he has and we will find out in the morning but I can see him trying to buy time for a different option.

Rich Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 3 minutes ago, cynic said: Its clear Lennon will advise him not to move here, hence his reluctance to say publicly that its a sideways move, and coupled with his family saying the same thing, this deal is dead in the water - regardless of Boltons situation. If Bolton go pop, the lad will have the pick of loads of clubs as it'll cost them nowt but a fat signing on fee. Hope I'm wrong as there is potential there - not enough for 16 pages on here though. How popular would Lennon be if he advised him not to sign and Bolton went through the hoop? As their manager, he surely has to act in their best interests.

Yeah he does but this backward step is pure BS from a club and bunch of fans who are clearly still stuck in the premier league era It would appear right now the club have no other options if they want that sort of money. Does the player have other options? I suppose one could argue by definition no he does not; that may change if he stays put, but looks like he can't.
