That amount is an insult. I think he is happy in Bolton. It's easy to slag him off now he is older and in all fairness he is no longer a top quality Premier League striker but he has been an absolute rock for us over the years. Player of the year on more than one occasion and always the consummate professional.
It's hard to imagine fans of yesteryear slagging off Lofty when he came to the end of his career!
I know there is no room for sentimentality in top flight football but I think slagging him off is uncalled for. He got his first England cap last year and that was in the twilight period of his career.
Yes, he is not the best centre forward in the World but at least he always put a shift in and took the knocks without complaint. He struck fear in our opponents and opposing fans alike.
Kevin Davies = Bolton Wanderers. Simple as.
