Polish Striker Due Before Deadline
31/08/08 13:27
The transfer
windows closea at midnight Monday and so far the only ‘late
business’ Bolton seem to be involved in is a ‘loan swap’ with
Racing Santander - Ricardo Vaz Te will got to Racing on a year’s
loan while Polish international striker Ebi Smolarek will come to
the Reebok. Bolton have the option to buy at the end of the deal. I
haven’t been able to confirm if the same is true of Racing although
you’d imagine if they made an offer for Vaz Te Bolton may well
accept - while the Portuguese striker is certainly talented, he
doesn’t seem to have been able to make a strong impression at the
Reebok and both parties may be suited by a
transfer.

Abdoulaye Meite,
who pretty much did for his Bolton career by walking away half way
through a match last season, has finally left the Reebok to play
for West Brom, the Baggies paying about £2 million.

One Out, One In

Some transfer
activity to talk about at last. El Hadji Diouf has finally resolved
his future, leaving the Reebok to sign for Sunderland. The fee is
not disclosed but reports put it somewhere in the region of
£2.5million. Incoming into the squad is 26 year old dutch winger
Rahamat Riga Mustapha, known to everyone other than his Mum as
'Riga'. Technically, he's a free transfer but the situation is
somewhat complicated - he's currently on the books of Spanish club
Levante but they haven't paid him any wages for nine months and
therefore, he claims, they have effectively terminated their
contract with him.
