Transfer rumours !

Fans need to lay off Coleman, he's hardly played and as usual with any Bolton born players who play for us they always seem to get more abuse than other players.

He wasn't at fault for any of the goals on Saturday, blame the players in front of him for that. My only moan like a lot on Saturday was his dithering at playing the ball when he had it.

Seems like he's going to be in for a few weeks so fans need to get behind him and get off his back.

Yeah the goalkeeper is pretty much not much use without the defence really and the defence was shocking last Sat and also the week before.

Agreed. Some of the abuse directed at our players from people around me in the east lower on matchdays is over the top and out of order. As if getting on their back is going to make them play better.

Agree 100%, no way was Coleman to blame for any of Charltons goals and I doubt Baxter would have done any better. Considering that Joel’s made some cracking stops recently that have gained us points I really can’t understand the abuse he’s had. I agree on his slow distribution though and I think that’s probably what’s making him seem nervy or indecisive. Even then if the players don’t move for him what’s he supposed to do? Let’s hope he gets it right tonight and we come away with the points and a clean sheet?

Think this is just complete bollocks myself...

Former Man Utd star set for EFL return as Sheffield Wednesday battle Bolton, Peterborough after MLS exit

Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton Wanderers and Peterborough United are exploring moves for former Manchester United prodigy Ravel Morrison, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal.

Morrison is a free agent after leaving Major League Soccer side DC United at the start of this year. The 31-year-old is keen to fix himself with a new club as he wants to get back to playing football on a regular basis and a number of clubs are weighing up moves for the Jamaica international.

Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday are keen to bolster their attacking options to boost their survival fight and have been alerted to Morrison’s free agent availability.

League One promotion hopefuls Bolton and Peterborough are also looking at the free agent pool to try and strengthen their squads for their promotion pushes in the final weeks of the season.

Morrison, who came through the ranks at Manchester United, was highly regarded at Old Trafford with Sir Alex Ferguson rating the attacking midfielder as the most talented youngster he had worked with during his time at the club.

Morrison also had spells at a host of clubs, including West Ham, Sheffield United and Derby County before joining DC United in the summer of 2022.

In total, Morrison has played for clubs in a total of six different countries, but the Mancunian could soon have the opportunity to return to the one he was born in.

Ashworth had a decent little spell then got injured and never got back into the reckoning. I'd be surprised if we do want him permanently.

Not sure about this one - didn't impress me on the displays so far.

That's a good move for him, not sure he's ready for the Championship just yet though. He may just get to know Rooney before he gets the sack 

It seems that IE's thinking on improving the squad is becoming evident, if the clues and signings are to be taken at face value. Our first signing is a CB and there has been two kit releases with no pics of Skipper Santos, then we dropped a lot of points when Baxter was injured and we have signed a goalkeeper. Safe to say that we are now in the market for a striker or two since Jerome and Bod have both been released, and Santos and Coleman may be on the way out. Thoughts?

Losing Santos would be a mistake imo. He's a good on field leader but a younger and faster partner in a back four would be helpful. We desperately need to stop shipping goals especially late in the game and so I agree some work on defensive strengthening is needed but I would look hard at strikers we really need at least two good ones if we're to seriously challenge for promotion.

But sadly I don't think it will matter while serial choker Ian Evatt remains as manager.

Signed on a three year contract

No great loss, he wasn't any better than what we have already.

Wigan sign yet another ex-Wanderer!

Armstrong still on the cards IMO especially as McInnes has shown the first signs of wavering. Would be ideal for us.
K Dembele - chances are slim to none. Championship bound.
John McAtee - possible second prize, but strikers would have to be on their way out.
