Wanderers window shopping: Dispatch #1
Tuesday January 6th, 2009
From the sublime to the ridiculous… all the latest ins, outs and shaking it all abouts from the January transfer window
In
- Kevins Davies and Nolan both want big names to come in, and one allegedly on the cards could be former Leeds and Everton midfielder Oliver Dacourt from Inter Milan.
- But the days of Bolton signing big name foreigners seem to be in the past with Gary Megson preferring British players, which means his war of atrition with West Brom over James Morrison is likely to continue.
- Other names in the frame include Kieran Richardson, Tal Ben Haim (surely Sam Allardyce has this one wrapped up?), Pierre Gignac, Ryan Taylor, Modeste M’Bami, Jimmy Bullard and Dietmar Hamman (yes, the same one that ditched us after a visit to the McDonald’s on Middlesbrook a couple of years back).
Out
- Burnley want Nicky Hunt, but Gary Megson has taken him back from Birmingham City and also said publicly that he thinks Hunt has a future at Bolton (he must be the only person that does).
- Heidar Helguson has gone to QPR with no-one coming in return, which means reports that we’re after their striker Dexter Blackstock may be wide of the mark.
Shaking it all about
- Club Call are still going on about a Kevin Davies move to Chelsea, despite the fact that the London club have said they won’t be signing anyone this January… and the fact that this is Kevin Davies and Chelsea for heaven’s sake!
- Square Football seem to think we’re after Sheffield Wednesday keeper Lee Grant, despite the fact that we now have both Jussi Jaaskelainen and Ali Al-Habsi tied down to long term deals.
