Danny Shittu's Uncertain Future
There are two conflicting reports which state Danny Shittu, Bolton’s out of favour defender, is finally leaving The Reebok Stadium. The Lowestoft Journal links the Nigerian with Ipswich Town while Tribal Football echoes The Mirror’s story that Sheffield United have landed Danny.
Ipswich Town
A move to Portman Road would probably welcomed by Tractor Boys’ manager, Roy Keane, who told the Lowestoft Journal;
“There’s just one or two areas where we are coming up short at the moment. It just happens that they are both very important. First, it’s defending properly, and second, it’s not scoring enough goals.
“I won’t comment on players who aren’t at this club, but I’m still very hopeful of bringing in two more loan players. We’ll be making a few more calls over the next few days.”
A phone call to Megson may not solve Keane’s defensive problems but at least there will be a steady flow of empathy.
Sheffield United
Meanwhile The Mirror says that Shittu is on the way to Bramall Lane today to sign a loan deal with The Blades and that this may turn into a purchase for £1.5m.
Not so long ago Danny was supposed to be signing for Portsmouth — then Newcastle United showed an interest too. He was also linked to Reading, Wolves and Birmingham too at the beginning of the year. I’m tempted to pluck a few random teams to add to the list but I can confirm that Mawdesley United, Nanpean Rovers, nor Lamlash have showed any interest in poor Danny.
Of course, at the time of writing, there is no news on any official club websites that Danny is leaving The Wanderers in the immediate future. The only certainty about Danny Shittu’s future is that it will not be with Bolton Wanderers. Probably.
