We didn't. I refuse to repeat myself again. If you don't believe me send a tweet to Al Habsi.

I wouldn't want to embarrass myself.

That ship sailed years ago. Tweet him.

After the Wembley debacle we were/are dreadful. What did we do in the last closed season. Sell our best keeper and tried to sell Cahill (it took a bit longer to sell Gary than Gartside would have liked).

In my opinion, Had Holden been fit at the start of the season he would have been sold in Jan.

With Boggies weekly improving performances, the chairman will be looking forward to another little cash injection next January, if JJ can be pursued to stick around for another season.

If anyone loves Stu you'll love this little interview he did for the BBC.

Talks about Muamba, his injury and his desire to play in the champions league one day!

Told you, he's already touting himself.

Fair enough, i can't imagine he's actively seeking a season in the championship, if someone comes in he'll be off, as would 99% of players.

I'll be surprised if anyone is in until January though, maybe one of the promoted teams?

When Bolton go down the players will jump ship, it stands to reason. No one is that loyal.

You're right there, there's no loyalty in football, and i wouldn't expect there to be to be honset.

If someone offers you more money, better prospects, you generally leave.

Normally I would agree with you - but Holden has spent a large chunk of his BWFC contract injured - he owes us.

Agreed, if we get relegated and an offer came in for Holden (big if considering he's played once in over a year) I'd expect him to give us a year in the championship to try and get us back up. Coyle brought him back to England and he's been injured the majority of the time, so that would be the decent thing to do.

Judging by what I've seen and read about Holden he may well agree with this and stay. But he is clearly ambitious, so we shall wait and see I suppose.

Its not about loyalty, hes on a contract, so unless we sell him, which we won't since no one will bid in the summer, then he stays.

next summer may be a different story, but that's next summer..
