Official - Shola Ameobi signs for Bolton Wanderers

Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Shola Ameobi on a short-term deal.


The Nigeria international joins the club on a free transfer having recently spent time on trial with the Whites.

Most recently on the books at Premier League side Crystal Palace, the 34-year-old enjoyed a brief stint in Turkey with Gaziantep BB last season having spent the majority of his career with Newcastle United.

A member of the Newcastle side that won the Championship in 2009/10, the forward also previously enjoyed a loan spell in the second tier with Stoke City during their 2007/08 promotion-winning campaign.

Formerly an England Under-21s international, he was a member of the Nigeria squad that reached the knockout stages of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, making two substitute appearances as the Super Eagles suffered a second round exit.

Ameobi will wear the number 26 jersey for the duration of his stay at Macron Stadium.

Another forward stealing a living!

I think you said that about Madine pre season as well. Anyway, I hope he scores goals. I'll reserve judgement for the time being.

Madine is decent at everything other than scoring

Boggers wouldn't know decent if it was sitting on his face.

Bumchum

I am hated by the bumchums.

You, on the other hand, love to flirt with them.

You've turned on me and Scott, bumchum behaviour

I didn't turn on you, I released you from my apron strings. You need to go on and forge your own forum career. You've spent too long in my shadow.

You'll thank me one day.

Delusional.

A couple of days away from my protection and the forum has turned on you. They smell weakness.

Not the most encouraging news when you're bottom of the league and can't score goals.

Surely better than no news at all though.

I would rather have this guy...

Holy shit. He really is garbage. But let's see how he does at this level first.

He aint bad.

He scored a whopping 53 goals in just 312 games for Newcastle!

He scored 10 in 18 in the championship. He's class

Is he still alive?
