Chris Eagles? (6 Viewers)

[StevieM]

Heard on the CWR prematch chatter that Chris Eagles, according to some internet sites, is/has signed for us.
Considering his wages at Bolton only 12 months ago were widely reported as being £30,000 per week, one would assume that he would only be on a small fraction of that figure should he sign for us.
Suprisingly he is still only 29 so I should imagine that him taking a huge wedge off his wages would not be a great career move?
If this was the case though and he just wants to play football, is he the type of player we need-the Bolton fans have hime down as a "big time Charlie"?
Could he be a Dennis Wise or more likely a Tim Sherwood? :thinking about:

CWR also reported that the club had confirmed that they have absolutely no interest in signing him, and that the rumour is completely unfounded. So less of a Dennis Wise and more of an Alexi Lalas.

 

[Specs WT-R75]

He's not the sort of player we need if fans opinions are anything to go on. If we wanted to take a punt on someone then find £250k and buy McLeod.

Personally would not spend £250,000 on McLeod , that's equivalent of £5000 a week in wages , plus probably £3000 a week wages, not worth £8000 a week , the money can be better spent elsewhere

Isn't Francis zoko still a free agent? Would love him here

And we're off...

Got legs this time

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He's signing today

 

[CovisGod]

He'll be in the squad against Blackpool, would put a fiver on it

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I am surprised nobody else has signed him yet, obviously TM thinks he will add something to the squad and if he wants him then its fine with me.

[Evo1883]

Well thats some unexpected news ..and good new

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He clearly isn't coming here for the money

 

[Ranjit Bhurpa]

Have we swooped for Eagles then??

 

[Evo1883]

Yes , and at 29 you would have to say if he signs its a fantastic bit of business ..especially if mogga can get the best out of him

 

[Ranjit Bhurpa]

He'll be in the squad against Blackpool, would put a fiver on it 

As a former Blackpool player, let's hope that the ex-player curse works in our favour for once

 

[stupot07]

The Eagle has landed....

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I wonder if this is the ex Premiership player that has been begging Mogga to take him on?

 

[wingy]

Joe Cole next week then?;-)

 

[Kingokings204]

Good news but he hasn't signed yet though has he? And if he does where does he get in?

 

[Evo1883]

If he signs , We have
Kent - Lameiras - Murphy - Eagles - Fortune - Obrien - Armstrong - Maddison - Tudgay ...all as attacking options ..thats extremely strong for a league 1 club

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Not bad
