Update: Any minute now.... Steve De Ridder is heading out to Bolton. Heard it here first...

When Alan Nixon first linked Bolton to a PL winger, my intial reaction was Steve. But when I read him saying that Bolton had jumped ahead of other teams, I quickly dismissed my thoughts.

Surely there can't be a clubs, plural, interested in him?!!
 
If De Ridder is off to Bolton as DTLW says then we surely need a replacement in the next 150 minutes. I know he's no good but he does actually get in the squad, even on the pitch suggesting we have few options.
 
If De Ridder's off and we're not signing a winger, I'm worried. Don't get me wrong, I think De Ridder is cack, but what does that leave us with?
 
Getting Lallana and Mayuka back makes De Ridder expendable, I guess. We're really, really thin now, though.
 
It's the main reason why I just said that I can't see Steve leaving, despite my mind thinking of him when Nixon tweeted.

He might be pretty cack, but he's still a winger. And we are desperately short of wingers.
 
Again...strange to move him on after he's got a couple of games. Though it does mean Poch has seen him.:smile:

He could do well for somone else...our standard of player is high.

Why is it strange that De Ridder is moving on? He's utter ****e and looks like Pochettino has seen that after just 1 sub appearance and training.
 
Boruc,Clyne,Forren,Fonte,Shaw,Schneiderlin,Cork,Puncheon,Ramirez,Lallana,Lambert

With a bench of Davis,Richardson,Yoshida,Davis,Ward-Prowse,Guly,Rodriguez

Still left with people like Hooiveld,Mayuka, Steve, Lee and Fox. Plus any youngsters deemed good enough.

I'd rather change a formation than play a sub-standard player. The PL is too unforgiving to carry passengers.
