Realistic transfer targets .....

Doing the rounds that Bolton have stepped in with a financial offer to Danny graham higher than we are willing to go.

Bolton havnt got a pot to piss in so I can't see this happening
Danny Graham knows and likes it here that might sway him over a club well in the mire.

Its a bit clearer now. They've offered him a 2 year deal, whereas Rovers have only offered one year. I think he's very important to us and would match it. He wouldn't be cheap to replace.

Not sure he has 2 years in him at this level
Tough one for Tony as he is a key player this season but probably not worth 2 years.

I see the agents and managers "dance" is increasing in intensity. Very few signings (except at the top) but thousands of deliberately fuelled rumours!

Its like poker, don't show your hand. We still haven't a clue as to what sort of budget were working with. We won't until signings are made. Its frustrating in some ways, but I can be distracted by the world cup!

What I don't like, though, Saxo is that agents now have the upper hand (or the best cards!).

Just to bore you to death with my constant rant!;

Yet again, it’s all that’s amiss with football today, this ‘fiasco’ takes presidence over virtually everything else.
It’s basically a feeding frenzy over who can grab the most cash from the pot !!!
I find it truly obscene.

Rant over (for now) 😉

Bolton signed Jason Lowe on a free from Birmingham today.
He barley played in a crap team, and has moved to a slightly crapper one. That's today's transfer news .....��

I always found Lowe a frustrating player because he rarely made things happen. If Bolton want someone centrally, just to protect the defence, though, he can probably do a good job. I always felt he really needed a strong character with good passing skills alongside him to take over the role of distribution.
I could never understand why he was captain, however. He just did not come across as a forceful personality.
