Bolton cancel Shittu’s contract

Bolton have terminated the contract of Nigerian defender Danny Shittu.

The 30-year-old signed a three-year deal with the Trotters when he moved to the Reebok Stadium from Watford for a reported 2m fee in August 2008.

Shittu made 12 appearances in his first season at Bolton, but he did not feature for the first team last season.

However, the centre-back was still named in Nigeria’s 2010 World Cup squad and played in all three of their Group B games in South Africa.

The centre-back, who began his career as a trainee at Charlton, moved in 2002 to QPR on

a permanent deal financed by supporters

after he impressed during a loan spell.

Shittu played more than 160 games for the R’s before moving to Watford for 1.6m in the summer of 2006.

He has recently

set up a competition

that will see one Nigerian footballer win a contract with Belgian first division side Royal Charleroi.

Bolton sign Rodrigo from Benfica

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Bolton have signed Spain Under-19 striker Rodrigo Moreno from Benfica on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old has been allowed to go out on loan despite only joining Benfica from Real Madrid last month.

Brazilian-born Rodrigo scored Spain’s only goal in their 2-1 defeat to France in the European Under-19 Championship final in July.

Assistant boss Sandy Stewart said: “He is a quick, exciting young player who can play up front and out wide.”

Rodrigo will be reunited with former team-mate Marcos Alonso, who joined Bolton from Real Madrid in July.

“We watched Rodrigo play alongside Marcos in the Real Madrid B team last season and we were obviously interested in signing the two of them,” Stewart added.

“He went to Benfica as part of the Angel di Maria deal but we still chased his signature and now we are delighted to eventually get him to our football club.

“We are looking forward to working with him and we are confident that he will bolster what is already a strong squad of players.”

Bolton 2-2 Birmingham

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Bolton’s 10 men battled back to deny a classier Birmingham side victory in a feisty affair at the Reebok Stadium.

The visitors took the lead after just three minutes when Roger Johnson slid home after a great move down the left.

Trotters keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen was sent off for a needless slap on Johnson just before half-time, after which Craig Gardner prodded home a second.

But Kevin Davies coolly converted a penalty before substitute Robbie Blake fired in a brilliant late free-kick.

Cameron Jerome could have given Birmingham manager Alex McLeish’s visitors a dramatic late winner, but Bolton’s substitute goalkeeper Adam Bogdan saved well at the striker’s feet to ensure both sides remain unbeaten this season after four league and cup games apiece.

Draw feels like a defeat – McLeish

Neither club has quite had a flying start to the new campaign but, in the home side’s fighting spirit and Birmingham’s flickers of poise and invention, there are positive signs for both teams who find themselves in the upper echelons of the table.

Before those in the ground had even settled down in their seats, the Blues stamped a moment of class on a game which typified the Premier League’s frenetic style.

After three minutes the mercurial James McFadden – who appeared to be struggling with a slight groin strain – zipped a classy reverse pass into the path of Lee Bowyer, who had timed his run to the left byeline to perfection.

Bowyer put a quick low ball across Bolton’s six yard box and with Jerome holding off the home defenders to help it along, the onrushing Johnson slid home from eight yards for his first goal in Birmingham colours.

That put McLeish’s men in a confident frame of mind going forward, but right-back Stephen Carr was not so sharp – he made a glaring mistake but former Manchester City winger Martin Petrov failed to capitalise as the Irishman recovered to block the Bulgarian’s weak shot.

Davies, playing in his 250th league game for the Trotters, then laid off typically for Petrov who at least managed to force Blues keeper Ben Foster into a proper save.

Jerome’s angry penalty appeal in the 20th minute looked laughable as he seemed to execute an air-shot with Gretar Steinsson lurking and the hosts started to press more successfully, with Stuart Holden whipping a decent free-kick towards goal which Foster had to tip over.

An increasingly scrappy phase of the game was punctured when Birmingham’s Craig Gardner broke free in space down the right wing and took his time to stand up a well-measured cross for McFadden, but the Scotsman could only drive into Jaaskelainen’s arms.

The game then briefly descended into farce when, seconds later, the home side’s Icelandic goalkeeper was given a straight red card after needlessly slapping Johnson in his face after the pair had competed innocently for a bouncing ball.

Johnson himself was booked for the original foul in an extended period of mayhem in which 10-man Bolton brought off a furious Petrov as substitute keeper Bogdan made his way onto the pitch for a Premier League debut.

Five minutes into the second period he was solemnly picking the ball out of the net.

Coyle hails ‘terrific’ Davies

Roaming free, McFadden crossed with his weaker right foot for Jerome – who Bolton claimed was offside but was clearly on – to nod back into the path of Gardner, who clumsily notched his third Premier League goal in two games from close range at the second attempt.

Battling Bolton, however, refused to cave in.

An immediately positive response came when Chung-Yong Lee fired a wickedly bouncing cross through for Johan Elmander but, with time to spare to compose a finish, he slashed at the ball to take the pace off it and allow Foster an easy save.

Despite being a man short, Bolton finally made their pressure tell in the 71st minute when Davies won a penalty with Johnson clambering over his back as the duo challenged for a high ball just inside the box.

Despite heated appeals referee Kevin Friend pointed to the spot and, with Bowyer jabbering away cheekily in his ear, Davies side-footed the coolest of penalties into the top corner for the 100th league goal of his career.

Less than 10 minutes later the Trotters drew level in style.

Substitute Robbie Blake had replaced the misfiring Elmander and after lining up a 20-yard free-kick and with the clock ticking down, he curled the cleanly over the wall with textbook technique to send it directly into the roof of Foster’s bulging net.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle:
“Jussi has made a mistake, he knows that.

“He is bitterly disappointed he has been sent off but it was a red card, there is no debate about that.

“Alex [McLeish] may have been disappointed with the penalty but last week at Upton Park a penalty was given against us.

“It was expertly finished by the skipper and then Robbie Blake’s come up with a wonder finish in the top corner.

“I had two magnificent years at Burnley with Robbie. I would have loved to have got him earlier in his career.”

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish:
“It feels like a defeat but in the grand scheme of things we believe it could be a good point.

“We are quite sore about it and the manner in which we lost the goals.

“The penalty I felt was extremely soft. It is a man’s game, English football is passionate, fast, intense.

“If we are going to see penalties hopefully they are going to be consistent and see the way our guys get barged in the box.

“It would be good if [referee Kevin Friend] watched it and explained why there was a penalty and why there was a free-kick.

“But good for Bolton, good fighting spirit. They never gave up and we needed a third goal to put them away.”

Southampton 0-1 Bolton

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Bolton saw off a determined Southampton side to progress to the third round of the Carling Cup.

The home side showed plenty of promise as they took the game to the visitors and Jason Puncheon had a shot saved.

But Bolton took the lead as Ivan Klasnic prodded in after Kevin Davies nodded down a Sam Ricketts cross.

Southampton pressed for a leveller as the Trotters began to sit back on their lead but an equaliser eluded them as their Premier League opponents held on.

Bolton were unbeaten in their last seven games against the Saints going into the match but that record appeared in danger as the home side started brightly.

Adam Lallana headed straight at Totters keeper Adam Bogdan, while striker Lee Barnard’s angled drive fizzed narrowly over.

Puncheon put in a lively performance in midfield and he had a shot well saved by Bogdan.

However, Southampton’s failure to capitalise on their ascendancy was duly punished.

A Ricketts cross was nodded on by former Saints striker Kevin Davies and Klasnic applied the finishing touch to put the Premier League side a goal up.

The home side had plenty of possession as they strived to break through the Bolton defence and Puncheon forced Bogdan to parry a well-struck shot.

Barnard tried to pounce on the loose ball but the Bolton keeper recovered quickly to leap on the ball as the visitors fended off Southampton’s efforts.

West Ham 1-3 Bolton

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Johan Elmander and Jussi Jaaskelainen starred as Bolton notched a seventh successive win against West Ham.

The Bolton keeper kept the visitors in the game in the first half, saving a weak Carlton Cole penalty and turning Kieron Dyer’s effort on to the post.

A Matthew Upson headed own goal put the Trotters ahead and Elmander powered in Chung-Yong Lee’s cross to make it 2-0.

Mark Noble’s penalty gave the Hammers hope late on but Elmander then sealed the win with a close-range strike.

More to follow.

Police search footballer’s home

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

19 August 2010
Last updated at 11:19 ET

The home of a Premier League footballer was searched by police after a woman said she was sexually assaulted at a party, police sources have confirmed.

The woman, 30, said she was attacked on Saturday night at Bolton Wanderers player Jlloyd Samuel’s Cheshire home.

The alleged victim has given a statement to police and the 29-year-old defender’s home in Lymm was searched by forensics officers earlier this week.

Police said a 28-year-old man – not the player – has been arrested.

The Trinidad and Tobago star joined Bolton in 2007 from Aston Villa, where he had played for 10 years.

He did not appear for Bolton in their goalless draw against Fulham on Saturday.

A Bolton Wanderers club spokesman declined to comment but stressed the allegations in no way involved Mr Samuel.

Blackpool secure Basham signing

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Utility player Chris Basham has become Blackpool’s sixth signing in the space of the past three days.

Basham, 22, joins from Bolton, where he made 19 appearances, and goes straight into the squad to face Wigan.

Wanderers rejected Blackpool’s initial bid last Friday but have now agreed terms with the Seasiders.

“He’s a player we value, but I had to be fair to him because his chances have been limited here,” said Bolton manager Owen Coyle on Thursday.

“Morally, I felt I had to give him the opportunity if he wanted to play week-in week-out.”

Basham, who can play in midfield or defence, also had loan spells at Stafford Rangers and Rochdale after coming through Bolton’s youth system. He joins Blackpool on a three-year deal.

Blackpool signed striker Marlon Harewood on Wednesday, one of five new arrivals to join the Seasiders on the same day.

Manchester United’s Northern Ireland defender Craig Cathcart, 21, joined for an undisclosed fee.

Blackpool also acquired the French trio of ex-Barcelona trainee Ludovic Sylvestre, 26, former Marseille player Elliot Grandin, 22, and Malaury Martin, 21, who was last with Monaco.

Blackpool set to capture Basham

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Blackpool look likely to sign utility midfielder Chris Basham from Bolton after the club’s manager Owen Coyle said he was willing to sell the player.

Basham, 22, was the subject of a bid from Blackpool boss Ian Holloway on Friday, which Wanderers rejected.

But it now appears that Basham, who can play in midfield or defence, will be allowed to move if the bid is improved.

“The likelihood is that Chris Basham will sign for Blackpool with us getting a fee in return for that,” Coyle said.

“He is a player we like and we value here but I had to be fair to him, because his chances have been limited here.

“Morally, I felt I had to give him the opportunity if he wanted to play week-in week-out.

“Ollie and I had a chat the other day and it looks like it has moved on now and that will probably happen on Thursday.”

Basham, a Bolton trainee, has made six starts and seven appearances off the bench for the club.

Blackpool signed striker Marlon Harewood on Wednesday, one of five new arrivals to join the Seasiders on the same day.

Bolton swoop for Oldham’s Eaves

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Bolton Wanderers have signed 18-year-old striker Tom Eaves from Oldham for an undisclosed fee.

Eaves, who has signed a three-year deal at the Reebok Stadium, confirmed his potential with a hat-trick against Bolton in a pre-season friendly.

The Liverpool-born forward came through the ranks at Boundary Park, and quickly caught the eye of several clubs.

He made 15 appearances for Oldham last season after making his league debut against Millwall in January.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle said: “We’re delighted to have him, and we’ll gradually take step upon step with him to such a time where he is ready to challenge for a first-team place.

“The fact that he played very well against us [in the pre-season friendly] just cemented what we already knew about Tom, and that he is a young player with great potential making his way in the game.”

Eaves follows Martin Petrov, Robbie Blake, Marcos Alonso and Ivan Klasnic in joining Bolton ahead of the new season.

Oldham chief executive Alan Hardy said: “There has been a great amount of speculation these last few weeks about Tom’s future.

“A number of clubs had shown an interest in him, and Tom chose to speak with Bolton last week.

“The negotiations have now been concluded and we are happy with the deal that gives Latics a guaranteed fee plus the usual add-ons and sell-on clause. We wish Tom all the best at the Reebok.”

Muamba signs new Bolton contract

Filed under: Bolton Wanderers by: admin

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba has committed his future to the club by signing a new four-year deal.

The 22-year-old has become a key player for Bolton since joining from Birmingham two years ago.

“I am happy, my family’s happy, everyone is happy,” he told the Wanderers website.

“The club has been very good to me since the moment I signed here. I don’t have any reason to want to move and I’m looking forward to the new season.”

The former Arsenal youth team player and England Under-21 international was signed by previous Bolton boss Gary Megson but has made a big impact on new manager Owen Coyle.

“Everybody knows my opinion of him,” said Coyle.

“He’s a great young prospect and I’m delighted he’s signed an extended contract. He loves being at the club, I like working with him and hopefully we can move on together.”
