January thread

January thread

Got to say I was not aware of Bolton's financial woes until I read this thread and while I derive no pleasure from their plight then you are still tempted to draw from it the moral that we are doing something right in terms of the way PNE is managed on the financial side. If they have a decent right-back they need to offload then maybe we should have a look at him. If he is Polish he should be at home in Preston - a place that has always had a Polish element in its population.

Yeah but his bird is amazing, worth a transfer to the Invincibles.

Simon Makienok is example enough that signing players based off the attractiveness of their partners doesnt work.
 
I liked Big Mak, we could actually use him right now.

Looks like that injury has ruined his career.

Who are the 2 players that we are after from Bolton w it says in the Bolton news today any ideas ? https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/spo...rers-wont-be-forced-into-fire-sale-says-boss/

no idea about the links but there is a massive stand off between the BWFC owner and this particular B.E.N. reporter....... so he is likely to publish stories to 'upset' the owner.

so far the owner has disproved most of the reports over the past week or two that have been written.


The RB is a good option, Wheats is a bit past it for our needs.

Makienok did OK for us. He is probably a bit past it now but as he as was when he was with us he would fit in well with our current formation.

He really wouldn’t, nowhere near mobile enough for an Alex Neil team.

Fair enough - though he wasn't all that lumbering and could hold the ball up. Mind you if I could have any player from the past leading the line in AN's preferred formation it would be Mike Elwiss.

Now there’s a player. My all time favourite. Though he wasn’t really a centre forward who used his head a lot. Fantastic on the ground, holding up play and could murder a defender in the blink of an eye. Fierce shot and quick as well. In today’s day and age, worth £10m without doubt.

I actually liked him, but as I said he wouldn’t fit in under this manager.

As for today relating to January, I think it is a clear indication which GK will be making way for a new one.

Pretty sure Neil has name-checked Ameobi as a bit of a handful in the past, so coupling that with out lack of fit wide players, I wouldn't be surprised if we express an interest in him.

Lazy and only runs when he feels like it. Would be very surprised.

I don't really watch them much so I wouldn't know, but Parkinson doesn't seem the type to pick wide players who don't work for the team. Not saying I think he would be the perfect signing, but I'd be surprised if he isn't one of the Bolton players we're supposedly keeping an eye on. We now have 1 fit wide players, and I think Neil would like Ameobi's physical presence, power and pace.

Neil ahead of the away game last season -

The boy Sammy Ameobi has been excellent at times

I've not ruled it out at all.

But AN also referred to Noone and Buckley as instrumental in their good start to the season in his pre-match.
 
I'd be very happy with Ameobi, but when the likes of Bodin are back we will be a bit over loaded there, surely?

I think any widemen we bring in will be on loan unless we sell Robinson, can't see Hemmings sanctioning a decent money signing for a winger.

Noone would be cheaper.
