Boyata to see out the season with Bolton

Lucky us, eh?

On-loan defender Dedryck Boyata will stay at Bolton for the remainder of the season.

As part of the deal agreed in July parent club Manchester City had the option to recall their player midway through the campaign.

With Vincent Kompany starting a four-match ban and Kolo Toure away at the African Nations Cup there was a suggestion City manager Roberto Mancini may invoke the clause to take Belgian back to the Etihad Stadium.

However, the deadline for City to make that request is understood to have already passed and the 21-year-old will remain with Wanderers until the end of the campaign.

I think Derek/Cedric is better than Gretar.

He's had excellent games and horrorshow games. Nothing inbetween.
It means we'll only be able to bring in one PL player on loan. For this reason, I'm surprised he hasn't been sent back.

He didn't look that impressive in the reserves game against Liverpool.

Only one loan player. Who can it be ? For me it has to be a midfielder. Apart from Mark davies we have nobody who can play the killer ball.

Only one 'British club' loan.

We can loan as many as we want from foreign clubs.

You never know - Boyata might start to fulfill his potential.



I think we were a bit spoiled to get Wilshere and Sturridge - expectations for loanees are now very high.
