Which probably shows you his level. He'll not get near the team and he won't get near the goal.*

Matt.

I'm giving the Terrence school of pseudo-knowkedgable bollocks a try. If it comes off, I might stick with it.

Having this loan player in is a two-edged sword. It's out with the old guard, in with the 'en garde'. He may be keen, but for how long will he retain his sharpness in the cut and thrust of League Two football..?? Will we need more fencing around the pitch..??

I'd better stop there...

Seems it was a 'close shave' between us and the Cobblers who he signed for ..... ha, ha, h ..... oh well, please yourselves =D =D =D

I have spoken to a friend who is a Bolton fan, this lad is highly though of within the Bolton ranks. Apparently is a very solid target man with an eye for goal. Was a target for some premier league clubs, but opted for Bolton with the promise of first team football (which didn't emerge) my mate has watched him for Bolton reserves and says he is very decent footballer.

Let's hope he's a cut and above the rest

Could this lad be a striker that can stay on side, stay on his feet and score a goal, if so, then yes please.

Wilkinson - the best the man could get?

Oh my word, you're sharp.. You should have been a Blades supporter..

Strikers that stay onside would be a bonus too.

But we need more than strikers who can score; we also need the other players to put some decent crosses and passes in to the strikers..

Given that none of them are scoring, clearly not enough.

Pity we can't also get the rest of the Bolton Development Squad on loan.. :~D
