Just messaged a mate who a massive Peterborough Utd fan and I asked what he was like with them . He said he’s an absolute “Baller” and would have him back like a shot ..
The boy has clearly got skills, and Bowyer does set his teams up in a way that allows skillful players to express themselves. That would seem to be a good fit.
He has a point to prove too having been released as a kid. Something Powell and, particularly, Curbs always looked for in a player (as have Bowyer and Gallen).
All those highlights clips are in League 1 though. Potentailly lots of contributing factors to this (Bolton struggling, wrong style of football etc.) but the fact remains he hasn't really done it in the Championship yet.
As other have stated though, we have lots of depth in midfield now so we can afford to gamble a little, especially on a free transfer like this.
Looking forward to the game where we have Williams, Oztumer, Chuks, Leko, and Taylor all on the pitch at once.

I think thats good ?
Always thought it was strange that Peterborough let him go though? Might have been the style, even if Tony Pulis was managing a struggling third division side in Latvia he wouldn't want Oztumer in the side!
I followed Ehrun when he played for Hamlet and whilst that was 4 levels below EFL he showed great class and was a major foundation stone in where Hamlet are today. He is a good dead ball taker and can see a pass. As I recall, he even scored with his head last time he was at the Valley.
He has quite a Turkish following which could fill a few seats.
He left Peterborough and Wallsall after running down his contract both times and refusing offers to renew.
I went on the Bolton message board yesterday and they were quite unreasonable about his leaving and that was before he joined us!
Don't understand this. We've got so many CMs already. Some of them will have to cover other positions when the inevitable injuries and suspensions come, but who?
You saw the forest Green game and wonder why we are still improving the squad ?
I am convinced that the poor display against FGR was an aberration of sorts. Yes, it was the second string but I bet if we put that side out again today they would show a marked improvement. Not saying it was acceptable in any shape or form, everyone involved will realise that.......but I’m certain the side put out are capable of much more than that, they just had a collective stinker, which sometimes happens for no apparent reason.
We could get Messi on loan to partner Lyle up front and we'd still go out to lower opposition in the cups. Fact.

Another in the squad that can take a penalty and goalscoring free kicks.
(You should hear the absolute mess he makes of your name)
Player leaves because he isn't being paid and the manager doesn't play him, shock horror.
Now he's apparently a snake and will be working in a kebab shop according to twitter

He did a great job keeping them up 2 seasons ago, and last season was an impossible job. He's also been incredibly loyal.
