Bolton winger target plays in Prem. Your boss has wrongfooted rivals on this one. So let him see it through. Good option to have.

Basically, there isn't one.

 

From the Bolton News

 

8:14pm

 

"OK - exclusive time! Wanderers have signed a winger on loan - Steven de Ridder from Southampton. One month at first, I understand."

Sky Sports News

We are hearing Southampton striker Lee Barnard is set to join Oldham on loan for the rest of the season. More on this soon...

 

Good move for him. You can bet Oldham won't be paying 100% of his wages like Bompey did.

So, Reeves, Barnard, De Ridder out.

 

I like to think someone's coming in. But it aint happnin'

 

They weren't going to play, and we'd have moaned if they did, so no harm done. Just leaves us lacking options to sit on the bench.

Contrary to reports there have been no fresh bids for Gary and even if there are they will be rejected..he is NOT for sale

 

Is this a code for how **** our transfer window is, keeping an eye on Gary Hooper's unlikely transfer to Norwich FC?

Cant see De Ridder leaving with nothing coming in ?

 

Why, I think MP sees we have 5 or 6 who could play in that line of 3 behind the striker inc Guly, Davis and JRod

Yeah but our bench is now even weaker than before. Pretty weak squad depth

I can, it's like having to play someone who everyone can see is not good enough but can't be happy that everyone is basically laughing at how crap he is.

Posted
Personally, no

 

But he often makes the bench, but that was during Adams injury I suppose

 

Indeed, and it baffles me he gets near it.

 

If he decided one day not to try and beat four men and then attempt a cross, he might be a decent Championship winger. As it is, round one, round two, third closes in, cross attempted, hits defender and is cleared.

Well quite a few periphery players loaned out, only real squad player out seems to be De-Ridder.

Wonder if we will get a surprise? Probably not doesn't seem to be anything in the offing.

 

 

and now with Barnard out on loan the only one I have questions about is ...Danny Butterfield, because I think Chaplow will be with us a bit longer.

Just heard a weird rumour that SDR's move is part of our move for Lee Chung-Yong.

 

Probably not true, but we do love our eastern signings at the mo.

Would explain the delay in an official announcement.

We will all be shocked when Messi signs at 10.59 and sky sports go into overdrive.

 

They still wouldn't care. The top story would still be Crouch to QPR, or Butland to Stoke.

Im not saying he is crap, just saying as crap as he is it leaves us short

If we pick up a few injuries now I think we could be in big trouble as we do not have enough quality back ups imo in the full back and winger positions. Our 1st team is excellent but I can not believe we have not brought a couple of players in on loan as we are only 3 points above the relegation places and could still easily get relegated if things go against on injuries,suspensions or loss of form. Our plan for the next few years would then be intatters as I am sure all our young stars wouldn't hang around in the ccc.

 

I am very hopeful we will still be ok but I do think we are taking a pretty big risk which I find baffling when a new manager comes in and then doesn't bring anyone in even though we know about 7 or 8 of our 25 man squad are not of premiership quality at least!!

Is he any good?!

 

Broke his leg last year and missed most of their relegation season. Was highly rated before that, player of the year a couple of season ago i think. Would say he'd be a definite improvement to the squad than De Ridder.

Posted
So in short a weak squad has got weaker to lower the wage bill?

 

Not really, no.

 

SDR, Reeves and Forte will be on pittance - so them leaving means zilch. They weren't playing anyway. Stop panicking.

Lee Chung-Yong missed an entire season with a broken leg last year (partly why Bolton went down), I think he's a really good player, good passer and good movement, the sort of guy we generally go for. Would be delighted if we signed him!

Posted (edited)
Nixon said earlier that Chung-Yong was going no where.

 

that would complicate the situation at SMS. Apparantly Tadanari Lee (likes to be called Chung) ....and this guy is Lee Chung Yong.

 

Sounds like something out of the Goon Show ...wasn't it the Ýíng Tong Song......? If we had both it'd be easier to call them Smith and Jones, I guess.

Makes commercial sense too!

It has now been reported on 5live that there are tweets from current players stating Hooper deal to Norwich is on.... prob a good signing if true... Striker is probably their weakest position...

Dan from Chilworth, via text: "Strong rumours I've heard from member of medical team at Southampton that manager Pochettino and chairman Cortese want to sign a big name and have offered former team mate Riquelme, who's a free agent, an 18-month deal."
