ZLF 274 Posted January 4, 2005 Why not add Wor Les Ferdinand to our squad for the rest of the season? He has forgotten more about premier finishing than Leon will ever learn, has scored as many goals as Leon from just 1 start and 11 brief sub appearances at Bolton.What have we got to lose?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdncfc 0 Posted January 4, 2005 No thanks, too old and expensive wages and no longer good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted January 4, 2005 Like James I would not see him as our only signing but given our run of injuries and lack of cutting edge he would given us something different from the current suggestions and squad and he has never failed to score in this league doing so in a worse Leicester side than we are last season. I see him as a no lose option if we can attract him ahead of soton etc.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted January 4, 2005 As Neil Adams said yesterday on the radio- you have to wonder why a team like Bolton are releasing him. I doubt he''s the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarychick 0 Posted January 4, 2005 I agree with Tumblewood. Bolton aren''t flying particularly high now and it makes you wonder why they have released him.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted January 4, 2005 Les had a clause in his contract the would force the release - he wants more football than he is getting and cant see any more games than he is currently getting by staying at Bolton. Davies and Pedersen were scoring so it would be hard for him to push for a start (not the case here we dont do scoring strikers, or defending defenders for that matter). Big Sam is now looking at Bulykin the russian striker on loan.However its not that Bolton are letting him go, he is walking away to get a game.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIC 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Ferdinand asked to leave Bolton for some reason though didn''t he, rather than being shown the door? Could be any one of many reasons. Whatever the reason, I personally think he could do a good job for us and his experience would be very useful. Whether his wages are reasonable is something altogether different.

jed exodous 0 Posted January 4, 2005 I think he would be worth a shot. He left Bolton cos he wants be closer to home apparentley. I''m guessing his home must be somewhere south London, Kent etc, so surely if he played for leicester we''re not much further than them.Worth a go i reckon, but Reading are also intrested.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3pmkickoff 0 Posted January 4, 2005 He''s gone from Bolton as his contract would be reviewed at the end of 2004, Ferdinand was commuting to Bolton from London via helicopter and had enough of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Harvey 0 Posted January 4, 2005 He wud be a gud buy, i know he''s not the quickest but he would be good winning things in the air and holding the ball up, look at the liverpool game, a few times the ball hoofed up to mckenzie and what chance has he against the likes of hyypia, campbell, terry, ferdinand ! Just imagine those flick ons to hucks n jonson ! And dint e get 11 goals last season for leicester ! Just a thought ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
