Kevin Nolan

didn't we ask for nolan when bolton tried to lure hamman away?

 

I don't know whether we tried for him then but I think we may have enquired when negotiating Diouff's transfer. He's a skillful tough and versatile midfielder, would be a great addition but perhaps not feasible when you think of the need in other areas of the squad. If we were to move for him or Barton for that matter the summer would be the time as I suspect the next England manager will have a good look at both of them soon after he takes over.

I'll agree on that. I think he's a cracking player and we be great for us.

 

Does anyone have an opinion of how much he'd cost? I think he'd be about 6 million.

 

Depends on what is left on his contract and how much he forces the issue. I would say Bolton would want 6-8m for him and you can imagine Fat Sam being a c*** about it too. Very good player who would be excellent for us, I just think the price makes it unrealistic for the next 18 months or so given what else we need to do with the squad.

Kevin Nolan is an excellent player and I would love us to sign him. His goal last night was pure class. He also comes across as a sound lad.

 

He is a sound lad - one of the most down to earth footballers you'll meet. Kev is a massive red as well - he was on the same coach as my cousin when they went to Istabul and he'd be ecstatic to come to us.

 

When we were linked with him in the summer I asked him if it was true and he said all he knew about it was what was in the papers, so I don't think we ever actually made an official approach.

he's obviously not aware of our transfer policy.

tell him that we only sign players who beg us to play for us first. we then ask them to prove their devotion by forcing their clubs to sell them to us for f*** all so parry and the boys can maintain their beachfront suites at the sandy lane.

Maybe add Joey Barton to the list too.....just scored a cracker

 

They are very similar type of player to me. Given the choice between the two Nolan would just shade it for me.

That almost reads word for word like something a certain person on TLW would write

Think he'd be a top signing Didi doesnt have many years left and i think Alonso will become our holding midfielder with 2 players with good energy around him (perm 2 from Stevie, Sissoko and Nolan)

 

He is a mad red and so thats a huge factor if we were in for him. Id imagine the transfer fee would be around £6 million and the players desire to play for us would obviously take any real bargaining power from Bolton.

 

Yes midfield is an area we arent short in, BUT as we're finding out when your trying to win 3 or 4 different competitions you need a large squad and midfield is the area where you need the most backup since these guys get through the most effort every game, would love to see another local lad in the team.

Kev used to be a striker in school - scored absolutely loads of goals, and I still think he has that goalscoring instinct. You saw the way he took his goal against Arsenal, and his overhead earlier this season was pure class.

 

He has spent time playing off the lone man up front for Bolton, and would probably actually get more goals than any of our current strikers in that role.
