Unan Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 He's signed and will be announced tomorrow night! Heard it here from a multiple, very reliable Suace's close to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Not saying it's not true, but that's just paper talk. Think they'd have been other places saying this if true. Hold in there.

BS15_RED Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Marc Iles, Chief Football Writer for the Bolton Evening News, followed by Clough on Twitter, tweeted 25 minutes ago that we're the only club to of made an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 As I said earlier there appears to be only one bid actually on the table, the rest is just interest from clubs hoping to get him cheaper than the offer we have made IMHO.

Tipps69 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sky Bet now has us at 4/7, Wolves at 13/8 & then both Everton & Boro at 12/1 Birmingham's interest was originally mentioned when we first made our bid but they then pulled out of things. For what it's worth, I'd personally say it's about 60/40 in our favour at the moment, Clough is impressed with the club & the club has handled themselves well throughout & we clearly haven't gone in with a bid of peanuts to try & steal the lad on the cheap, all must be plus points in our favour.

If the rumoured £2m is correct then I'd be amazed if that situation doesn't change. Would be very strange to have no one else in for him at that price.

Think they'd have been other places saying this if true. Hold in there. Whilst there's no definite news, there's hope. For what my opinion is worth. I actually think it is highly likely he will sign for us. The football club he plays for and has been involved with the majority of his life is in danger of going bust unless cash can be found quickly. It appears despite rumours we're the only club who've actually made a bid. The player appears to have been impressed by what he's seen, heard etc but wants time to think about it. Is it that unreasonable, the fact he hasn't said no suggests we've made an impression on him. Personally I think it will be confirmed tomorrow, probably at the same time as a keeper and maybe one other. If I'm correct , and by no means saying I am , a big uplift going to an important league game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I suppose it's possible that he won't agree in the round of talks just taken place. But could it ever be back on if he doesn't get the offer from another club he wants....and Bolton get even more desperate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage they have is they know we've bid and that we're not that desirable to the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Tomorrow is d-day. If not signed by then, it's a dead duck. Will either be a great night where we unveil clough at the game and beat Preston, or we don't sign him, we all get down and we f it up against Preston.

We've played our hands first, as ultimately we had to. It was our only chance. If it doesn't come off, in this instance I'm not going to blame the club. We've tried.

If any club was interested I'd have no doubt that his agent would have informed them what would be an acceptable offer to Bolton. It's in his interests to have as much competition for the lad as possible as it improves his negotiating position for his client. I'm certain Bolton would have invited him to find a club for the lad given their financial woes and their need to sell asap Because of that I really don't believe SC would have alerted anyone to anything that they didn't already know.
