Summer 2018 transfer rumours
Comments

We need at least 3 or 4 players in the building before the season starts. Why have they not signed two of the three loanees? We are playing a dodgy game having such a thin squad. Are they waiting for the mag. deal to go through? I need answers!0

Cos as Harry said, we're down to the bare bones. We need a physical no9. Yann would do but there are others out there, not neccessarily with that number on their shirt.0

I'm hoping and praying it's because a takeover is close and LB knows he will be getting say 2m to spend and he has better targets lined-up. Unlikely though.Valleyofdreams said:We need at least 3 or 4 players in the building before the season starts. Why have they not signed two of the three loanees?

Taylor is no lightweight, and can hold the ball up well, better than Mag imho. He’s not a target man for an aerial long ball game, but maybe LB doesn’t want one?harveys_gardener said:Cos as Harry said, we're down to the bare bones. We need a physical no9.

You watch Magennis get 20+ goals next season!11

Yeah i wasn't questioning where they got it from, just that he's a complete waste of money for Cardiff.Oggy Red said:
That's not the point under discussion though, Chris.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Who then didn't score for them in 13 games. Good signing.Oggy Red said:
They sold Gary Madine to Cardiff, for supposedly a £6 mill fee (officially undisclosed) in January.se9addick said:
I thought Bolton were brassic, where is this money coming from?Karim_myBagheri said:Bowyer is delighted that Bauer is staying 'cos Bolton haven't matched the asking price. Doesn't fill me with much confidence that he will stay ... there's still over a week before transfer window ends! I may be ultra pessimistic, but why would anyone trust the word of this Belgian? And he may still not sign the new contract and leave in January. Have Fosu and Aribo signed their new contracts yet?
No doubt they've been permitted to spend a percentage of that.
Se9 asked where are Bolton getting the money from to sign Magennis.
My guess is that it's part of the Madine fee that they are permitted to spend.0 -
I'd be really surprised, no staggered if that happened playing for a poor side in a higher division...uie2 said:You watch Magennis get 20+ goals next season!

Only Vydra got more than 20 goals in the championship last season and he's rumoured to be moving for 10-11m!uie2 said:You watch Magennis get 20+ goals next season!

I'm basically saying Magennis will be uncharltonised!0

i was thinking a loan tbh, can you really see Roly parting with his hard earner cash?Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Newcastle reportedly want 3m for him so yes pretty wishful.CAFCDAZ said:adam armstrong or is that wishful thinking

Iwelumo was very similar to Josh - hard working but not the most skilful. I think we had Varney at the time who also struggled with his finishing.Chrispy51 said:
Whilst I see that downside, I also remember the same issue when we had Chris Iwelumo, we played dreadful football when he played and quite nice football when he didnt. He wasnt the best of players for us as a result of how the team was playing and I was quite glad when he left. Wolves then signed him and get promoted with him as top goalscorer (from memory) playing football that suited him.Oggy Red said:
Or Bowyer wants to play a different way.The Red Robin said:
Not that he would have had a say in Magennis leaving but I don't think Bowyer rated him.Scoham said:
One downside of Magennis playing when in the Charlton team (.... not Josh's fault at all), is that often the midfield would be bypassed, as defenders would lump it forward somewhere vaguely in his direction. And usually the ball would come straight back, again putting our defence under pressure.
As I said, perhaps Bowyer wants to play a different way.
My question is, are we looking to change our brand of football? and if so, would the new brand be more suited to Josh perhaps getting more goals?
For the record, I am not overly concerned about Josh going as in Taylor I think we have upgraded and I am not convinced the 2 of them could really play alongside each other. We do need some depth though!

Did Robinson start this "in the building" phrase?

Like most others not fussed about Magennis going as I’m not a huge fan. But the issue is like it always is under Roland is the replacement. With Igor and Taylor out, we are light again.
It’s similar to Novak last summer, Magennis didn’t look likely to fire us to promotion but it’s another player off which leaves the squad even more bare0 -
Robinson definitely started the say "in some ways" is his delectable scouse mouse accentwmcf123 said:

Iwelumo was probably the most successful striker we had that season, with Varney, McLeod and Gray all being expensive (for the time) failures. At least he contributed something to the teamhoof_it_up_to_benty said:

The idiot Pardew, despite buying the bloke, failed to realise that Iwelumo, despite his size, was far more effective when the ball was played to feet than in the air.
Our home win against Sheffield Wednesday that season when we came back from 2-0 down was a classic example of what I'm trying to say.11 -
Southampton away as well - ball out wide, cross to over to him, to feet, to head etc., not using him as a hold-up man.LenGlover said:The idiot Pardew, despite buying the bloke, failed to realise that Iwelumo, despite his size, was far more effective when the ball was paid to feet than in the air.

I assume this is a wind up.....JamesSeed said:We’re 12/1 to win the League, 7/2 for promotion.
Favourites are Sunderland who are 11/4 and 5/6 respectively.
We’re 18/1 for relegation and 66/1 to finish bottom. [Odds from Paddy Power]
You’ll see those last odds decrease drastically today as the Aussies fill their boots, thus acquiring all the funding required for a new 6 year planned assault on the prem.

Josh gone confirmed. 2 year deal at Bolton.1

He's out of the circus. Best of luck, Josh.

10 days to sign 8 players
GK, RB, CB, LB, RM, LM, CM, ST
Martin, Ward, Dawkins, Ince would only cover half of that, and that's not allowing for any more departures, with rumours of Ajose leaving too9 -
Good luck to him . Abused by fans at times but actually think he gave everything he had. Not the greatest but scored a fair few goals for us and worked hard. Hope he does well up there . We desperately NEED 2x strikers now16

Best wishes to Josh.
He did the best he could in difficult circumstances.21 -
If we even sign as many as 3-4 players before the end of August i'll be surprised.sam3110 said:10 days to sign 8 players
