Louise Taylor from the Guardian reports he may be coming back. She's a smart one, well connected. Always liked Bolo. What they wanted Martin O'Neill's principal ambition was to assess the squad but a striker, a midfielder and a, preferably left-footed, defender were arguably required Any imports would be expected to add experience and, ideally, pace. Meanwhile O'Neill determined to keep the much coveted Stephane Sessegnon and the homesick Craig Gardner. What they got Nothing so far; although the unwanted defender Nyron Nosworthy has gone to Watford and the promising young striker Ryan Noble has joined Derby on loan No further departures are expected. D-day moves? Quite possibly. While an initial bid, in excess of £1m for Kevin Davies has been rejected by Bolton Wanderers a follow-up offer is expected for the centre-forwardand O'Neill is actively pursuing an unnamed defender and unnamed midfielder. Depending on what else happens, the midfielder Bolo Zenden could yet return to the Stadium of Light. Or Emile Heskey might even arrive from Aston Villa LT Ins None Outs Trevor Carson (Hull, loan); Louis Laing (Wycombe, loan); Blair Adams (Northampton, loan); John Egan (C Palace, loan); Billy Knott (AFC Wimbledon, loan); Jordan Cook (Carlisle, loan); Ryan Noble (Derby, loan); Nyron Nosworthy (Watford, loan).
If she is right we are only going for stopgaps this window. Said elsewhere I don't think MON will just throw money and hope for the best. His main moves in the market will be in the summer.
