The ins, the outs and the shaking it all abouts at Bolton Wanderers this January transfer window
Ins
The Guardian estimates that we have £5 million to spend, which is why Joey Barton (thank God), Jimmy Bullard (another person who thinks Phil Brown is a better bet than Gary Megson) and several others (see shaking it all abouts below) will not be donning the white shirt any time soon.
Instead, Megson will be searching the bargain basement bucket for the remainder of this season’s January transfer window, for example…
Swindon Town striker Ian Cox is wanted by Bolton and, er Barnsley and Huddersfield (to be fair Spurs and Fulham are also being linked). Other cheap options could be Grant Leadbitter (Sunderland), Szabolcs Huszt (Hannover) and Mark Davies (Wolves).

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the last few days…
- The Daily Telegraph’s Kevin Garside using the White Horse final of 1923 and Bolton’s hero from that day, David Jack, to demonstrate why Ashley Cole deserved every boo he got at Wembley the other day.
- The badly photoshopped picture in this call to arms on the official BWFC website, plus the unfortunate headline on this official website story, which says Gary Megson is ‘Guarding Against Monotony’ (he should certainly know what it looks like).
- Another unfortunate headline, this time on a Sky Sports story about Johan Elmander, who declares: ‘I need speed’ (perhaps Ebi Smolarek could have a word with his mates from Holland).
- Various transfer rumours about Jimmy Bullard, Ali Al-Habsi, Julio Cruz and Fabian Delph (funny how these things come out of the woodwork during international week, when there’s nothing else to write about, isn’t it?).
- And finally… listening to some Bolton Wanderers chants on this website, and wondering what the point of this site is and where they got the recordings from (well, there’s nothing better to during international week is there?).

Has the lazy Bolton Wanderers player been revealed?
Monday, September 15th, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Megson, Kevin Davies, Kevin Nolan | No Comments
Gary Megson may have let the cat out of the bag…
Shortly before the season started, I wrote about an article in The Sunday Times in which Gary Megson appeared to reveal that there was a player in the Bolton Wanderers squad who was not pulling his weight in training.
According to Megson…
Only one of our players has ‘issues’ and I’ve told him to address them because he’ll fall behind. Otherwise he’s a great lad and good enough to play for England.
After much deliberation, I came to the conclusion that he had to be talking about either Kevin Davies or Kevin Nolan.
Another hard day at the office for one Bolton Wanderers player. Picture from Spigoo, some rights reserved.
Last week Megson gave us another clue when he revealed that he thinks Nolan is definitely good enough to play for England. The Bolton manager made the claim when asked whether Jimmy Bullard’s recent inclusion in the England squad gives hope to players from smaller clubs.
Can this leave us in any doubt that Nolan, who continues to claim a place in the Wanderers starting line-up week in, week out (and as captain, no less), is the player who has these ‘issues’?
If it is, then this once again calls Megson’s judgment in to question. Not only because he continues to pick Nolan and his ‘issues’, but also because anyone who saw Nolan and Bullard up against each other at Fulham on Saturday will know they are oceans apart on current form.
