So the jist now is that the other days anouncement was simply a verbal agreement, now we have a formal agreement. So should we expecting 12 medicals aswell? I don't doubt this transfer will go through but fucking hell.........

As anyone posted a picture of the guy yet?

So you reckon Shorey is heading to Villa park, good signing if true? The good thing for Villa fans is that you have a young squad, the likes of Agbonlahor, Young etc are all improving and will be a season better. Effectively signings in theirselves. As long as your not selling your best players, you won't go backward IMO. Barry is a good player but Sidwell is a good replacement (even if he's not like for like), in fact in some respects Sidwell is better.

Don't think he will ever get back to his best. N'Zogbia's the better player.

Aye should be, still early though. Reportedly a press conference later in spain.

Sorry mate, bit bored so i thought i'd hurle some abuse about.

Look who's crawled out of his hole.

You think this one has been drawn out? How long has johnson to fulham being going on.... feels like forever. Ours seems done just needs confirmed, we won't hear anything until this afternoon i imagine.

West Ham have agreed to release Ljungberg. Surely if you were Hull, Stoke etc you would take the risk on a player like Freddy?

Seemingly this story is being reported quite alot. Too good to be true surely?

Thing is though, is that at the expense of having two left backs at the club? I rate Enrique but i don't like the thought of N'Zogbia as back up.... for a few reasons. There is Edgar but afer that i am struggling. Unless that bassong lad can do something there, i've been away for three weeks, so missed the crack with the lad? On the other hand i fully agree about the need for them two other positions.

Don't listen to Jol man, he talks shite.

Sounds very much like we have someone else lined up, in addition to Coloccini. After his 2 players comment last week and then "i'm confident we will bring in at least two" comments now, sounds very much like he knows we are close on someone. My guess would be Warnock.

90% sure he will be a newcastle player by midnight.

Would be very happy to see Benayoun here, i think it'd be a really good signing. Serious upgrade on Milner, and anything to have Duff nowhere near the team is good enough for me. Benayoun/Jonas on the wings would be a nice prospect. I was thinking more in the centre TBH, that's where we are desperate. However Benayoun is slightly lightweight for that role.

If Smith goes for 3m i will love it.

Suprised we have not look towards a player like Benayoun. Very good player on the ball.

Baptista is the sort of player we should be trying to sign and i'd say he is within our limits, however i don't think we will sign him because of Roma's interest. Hopefully we will be surveying a few options of similar calibre.

Calm down ladies, this transfer will happen. Coloccini is all but done, just waiting on confirmation which could be any time TBH. I'm hoping that we are doing other deals aswell TBH, that's just as important in my book. It would be nice to get another Coloccini calibre in soon.

Looks better, but I'd play Guthrie and Butt over Geremi. I'm one of the few that sees the qualities of Geremi in our side, however i recognise that we should not be going into next season with Geremi as our main centre midfielder. Butt for me last season was incapable of playing in a 442 system and have not seen enough of Guthrie to comment on his ability. Hopefully we will at least get one good centre midfielder in, preferabley two.

If Colo signs ; Harper Beye Faye Coloccini Enrique Geremi Barton Jonas N'Zogbia Owen Martins We need centre midfielders desperately, pretty good in other areas though.

Mackems signing some good players. Chimbonda and Diouf (despite being wankers) are a good standard of footballer for them. 2.5m for Diouf is a bargain TBH.

rather him than Guthrie. He looks good in other game. that day, Martins is just too good I agree on this. O'hara is decent. 1) Why would you rather O'Hara than Guthrie, on the basis you probably haven't seen much of either of them? O'Hara is a squad player at a significantly worse club that Guthrie. 2) How much would you pay for O'Hara? Both questions to both of you. How dare you say that about Spurs? You sicken me. Let's be honest we all know Spurs>>Bolton so stop talking out of your Arse. Aimed at LLLO Same friend who said we are signing De La Red and Aimar? Notice I said or "De La Red or Aimar" and who's to say we won't? Aimar close to signing for Benfica and Arsenal and your team Spurs in for De La Red Hey some shit newspaper now proclaims that we are close to signing Aimar. Now its like for like, what will you do? The shit stories are everywhere? If it turns out I and my friend are right, will you apologise? We won't sign Aimar.

"He's better than half the muppets that get in the England Squad not mentioning any names Jermain "what am i doing, what is this round object" Jenas." I'm liking the Bolton fans more and more by the second.

"2m is a steal, it's the deal of a fucking century" What a shite signing eh!
