but this is one of those nights when I always want to stay up until 11pm just to see if we have actually signed anyone of note.

If the transfer window turns out to be another damp squib then at least we can draw some comfort from the fact that both Wolves and Wigan are losing.

"Bolton attacking target is a cracking situation now. Hope it goes through. Funny background to this one.


Can't name Bolton target. Reasons obvious later. Funny how things click when u least expect it.


Bolton now know price of target they want. How it has kicked off has made my day after a few hours of booting furniture.


Been a good hour for Bolton after all. Not naming the guy until it's done. But bid in and player wants to come. Yip-feckin-pee."

As far as I'm concerned, this player Nixon's on about isn't this lad we've got from Watford. There's no 'funny background'. The reasons for him not naming the player aren't 'obvious'. I can't see how 'how it kicked off' would have made his day.

So who is it?

Unless Coyle is filling Nixon full of shit ? It wouldn't be the first time!

I see what you mean but I can't see who else it could be, we are spending 3/4 million on the guy at Watford so I can't see us signing someone else for a fee, unless it's a loan.

It turned out to be Sordell however I wonder if there was someone else in the frame seeing as we put higher bids in elsewhere - so there presumably was a bit of cash available.

Most of the focus at the back end of the window was on getting another wide player which didn't materialise, but maybe that was put to bed when we got Ryo on loan.

Still there could have been other targets.

The 'dirty tricks' story here! (Nixon)

Bolton boss Owen Coyle has made a £3.2million swoop for Watford striker Marvin Sordell – after a transfer feud with Cardiff counterpart Malky Mackay.

Coyle made an inquiry for Sordell during deadline day but backed off because of the price-tag and after making background checks on the young forward.

The Premier League club had contacted former Watford manager Mackay for an honest assessment of the England Under-21 international’s recent form before increasing their offer.

Mackay advised Bolton that the young forward was not yet ready for the step up, but Coyle then discovered that Cardiff had tabled a £3.2million offer for Sordell - and were whisking him to Wales for a medical.

Coyle immediately matched that bid, offering Sordell a ticket to the Premier League rather than a reunion with his old gaffer in Cardiff.

I can't see Mackay being on OC's christmas card list after that stunt.

I went out last night and had a few shandies, came in to the news that we had signed a striker but in my inebriated state thought we had signed Mario Jardel.
