Kaizero Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Are these 2 really footballers? Yes, they get paid for it so it is per definition their profession. If they are good at their profession, that is another matter to discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Nolan contributes about as much as Smith usually does nowadays, so no, he isn't a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The ageing Nicky Butt is streets ahead of Nolan. As for Ryan he should be a bench warmer/squad player but I think he may get a run out at RW against Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I was reasonably optimistic about our January transfer dealings after they'd happened. OMG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest michaelfoster Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Nolan > Butt Butt made about 6 stupid fouls today and was lucky not to be booked, Nolan not much better but is an improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I haven't given up hope on Nolan yet. He's come form spending his entire career as "Mr. Bolton" and it has to be a huge adjustment for him. I'm not saying that he's a top 6 player, but surely he'll be an asset or us in our mid-table trawl for the foreseeable future. As for Ryan Taylor, if taking free kicks is anything like what I imagine it must be (being a big, talentless center half I've honestly never been asked to take one in my life ), it should be all down to confidence. If you're going to be threatening you've got to have the "fuck them, I can score form here" mentality. The fall against Man U seems to have shot Taylor's confidence and he may well take some time to recover. Like Nolan, I'm willing to give him some more time.

Guest Heneage Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Settle in to what? Them having Premier League experience was half the justification for buying them. New players? New surrondings? It appears Nolan had far less responsibilities at Bolton than is being asked of him here. Wait till he has someone next to him who can run unlike Nicky Butt who will just pass it straight back to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 They're just shit tbh. It really was a very, very shite transfer window. I didn't believe so at first but we've got significantly worse as a squad since January; Given and N'Zogbia gone ffs. Nowt against Harper and i'd have him as number 1 next season, but the amount of quality there, gone, for £11m-ish. Urgh. Still, if we stay up i'll look forward to a positive summer, providing Kinnear doesn't come back obviously. His signings were the reason Notts Forest got relegated to League 1 for the most part.

Skirge Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I have more time for Nolan than I do Taylor but both are not going to really do anything massive for this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 We are at the nub of the problem here with this thread. At no time this season have we had athletes in the engine room of midfield who can dominate a game with box to box energy. Even teams we deride like Stoke or Hull are streets ahead of us in this key area of the game. Strong powerful runners with hunger, not has beens on fat contracts. Its a no brainer.

Mike Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Didn't think much of the signings at the time and they haven't really done anything to change my opinion. Nolan was a complete non entity today. January really was a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
