Christ i can't believe i OVER estimated.

I have to give you your dues, Natasha, that cracked me up. Thanks, Poor Joe McKee.

It wasn't meant to give you a laugh, it was a true reflection of our squad made by me pretending to be an outsider i.e. not in love with Ngog or any of the other ponces who have been nothing but failures for BWFC.

OK, I respect your sincere opinion in that case.

I love that list.

Ngog hasn't had it easy at Bolton. He's only ever played as a lone striker or with Davies or Klasnic, both of which must be nightmares to play alongside - no pace, no movement, no graft, no fluency.
I can see him being the architect of a lot of Sordell goals next season, if that partnership is given time to gel.

So come on then, where have I gone wrong?

And remember, you're an opposition manager, not Owen Coyle who thinks Pratley is worth £10m.

You could even go with a front 3.

N'gog has the ability to play that wide(ish) right role that Anelka used to do.

(i meant left)

You're right, playing with average players is an excuse to miss sitters

But couldn't you turn your argument round and say the same about Kevin Davies - he's had to play alongside Ngog.

1 Adam Bogdan £2m -> £3m
2 Tyrone Mears £250k -> £1m
3 Marcos Alonso £250k -> £1.5m
4 Matt Mills £1m -> £2.5m
5 Tim Ream £2.5m -> £2.5m
6 Fabrice Muamba ZERO -> ZERO
7 Chris Eagles £500k -> £1.5m
8 Keith Andrews £500k -> £600K
9 David Ngog £250k -> £3.5m
10 Martin Petrov £500k -> £700K
11 Gregg Wylde ZERO -> £800K
12 Zat Knight ZERO -> £500K
14 Kevin Davies £1m -> £800K
16 Mark Davies £1m -> £7.5m
18 Sam Ricketts £3m -> £1.8m
19 Marvin Sordell £3m -> £4.5m
21 Darren Pratley ZERO -> £750K
22 Stuart Holden £250k -> £9m if regains form and fitness
23 Joe Riley £250k -> £900K
24 Andy Lonergan £250k -> £500K
25 Josh Vela £250k -> £2m - we turned dowm £1m for him 12 months ago
27 Lee Chung-Yong £1m -> £5M
31 David Wheater £1.5m -> £3M
35 Joe McKee ZERO -> haven't a clue

Thanks Largehat, that gave me a laugh.

Marvin Sordell has increased in value despite scoring no goals and not starting a single game?

£3.5m for a striker (Ngog) who neither scores goals or creates them?

£7.5m for a midfielder who is yet to have a good game for the club, and often looks lost?

Laughable.

... and 20 million for Jordan Henderson and 35 million for Andy Carroll.

It wasn't meant to make you laugh, it's my honest opinion.

Stop internet bullying me.

I'm not excusing the fact that he's shit in front of goal. You can miss your fair share of sitters and still be effective.

Last season he only ever had two strike partners - both were slow, lazy, unfit, immobile, and thus difficult to work in partnership with.
