Now that would have been a bit of a shock if he had gone to Bolton..

i think bolton are starting to attract bigger players every season, its like a club you go to and big sam gets your career back on track if you havent progressed much

Bit like Harry Redknapp at Pompey and West Ham.

Bolton have assembled a side that will do ok every season but they lack a bit in talent to stay a top ten side every season...

i think rynaldo's right tho, they are starting to attract better players. i think in time they'll build a strong squad that will compete with the top 5 clubs. it's just a matter of time. i think while some squads seem to be falling, bolton is definitely rising.
