Optimistic Nut Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Harsh on Viduka tbh. Always scored goals when fit in the Premier League (second season here being the unfortunate exception) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 If we're talking about Viduka on a whole, he was hell of a lot better than Johan Elmander is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 If we're talking about Viduka on a whole, he was hell of a lot better than Johan Elmander is. Agreed. He was excellent at Leeds, a joy to watch at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Adel Taarabt. He seems a bit temperamental to be honest. A fantastic talent but very much a home player unless we wanted to go 4-4-1-1 away from home with two sitting midfielders. I'd say they also want £4-5m+ QPR wont be selling him as he is there key player to getting into the Prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think our ''realistic'' targets for January will be squad players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Keane on loan, and then a attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Why Keane? I think he'd work well just off Carrol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Depends on them getting another striker really. With Keane off the wage bill they might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He'll sign a new contract. Don't Bolton have massive debts? If he's scoring and on a free, I doubt they could match the wages someone else would offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I heard that the current offer from Bolton is asking him to lower his pay. At the same time they have offered Cahill a new improved contract. I think Bolton needs to get him an offer out thats on par with how he currently performs. Otherwise Elmander could be a steal for an other club. Would be great for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 This is the same striker who went on a nine month goal drought. If it wasn't for this season (where his contract finishes at the end of it), we wouldn't even be talking about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He wasn't too bad at Toulouse.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He'll sign a new contract with Bolton on the back of this form and their positive-looking future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Or get a move to a team just outside the top clubs (Villa or Everton) like Benjani did, before returning to his normal Bolton form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukeboxromeo Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He'll sign a new contract. Don't Bolton have massive debts? If he's scoring and on a free, I doubt they could match the wages someone else would offer. This was on the official website: "I've been talking to Eddie Davies and he's asked me to clarify the Bolton debt bandied around at £100million. Eddie's put £90million into this club, and the actual external debt is a mere £10million and that's secured at Barclays Bank." We don't particularly need to sell, unless someone comes in with an offer we can't refuse: Cahill and Al-Habsi are the most likely to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for this season (where his contract finishes at the end of it), we wouldn't even be talking about him. Elmander was great for Toulouse and its clear that he struggled in the premiership as he had to aclimatize. Though to be fair to him, Megson was a horrible coach and Elmander was often not used in the right way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't particularly need to sell, unless someone comes in with an offer we can't refuse: Cahill and Al-Habsi are the most likely to go. The debt isn't the issue, the losses are. How are Bolton going to either cut costs or increase revenue sufficiently to cover a £34m annual loss? I can't see the owner continually putting £30m+ into the club to cover it.

Guest SuperShola! Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Can we please have a good, solid, replacement for Jonas. We should keep him, cause' he's funny and stuff, but we need someone who can cross and create chances. When's Benny back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should keep him, cause' he's funny and stuff, but we need someone who can cross and create chances. When's Benny back? He's a comedy hero man. He would also be a great back up, as he can cover many positions and would be great to have when defending a lead due to his defensive capabilities and work rate. Would still get a lot of game time even if he weren't a regular starter. Wouldn't say that it is a priority to replace him though. Hes good....and funny.

Delima Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Our over-reliance on Cheick Tiote is evident. Without him we are significantly inferior. I would like us to explore the possibility of signing another defensive midfielder (young and cheap) - to deputise for Tiote, and also give us a bit of insurance should Tiote be purchased by others.
