Greek Star Stays

Stelios refuses to move down a league and therefore will not be joining Sheffield United. Fussy git.

Bramall Lane manager Bryan Robson said:

Stelios is definitely dead in the water.” [The cheeky Greek fella rather commit suicide than play for The Blades.]

“He doesn’t want to drop down into the Championship and I couldn’t persuade him to do that. It would have been nice to have him in our squad, but it’s not going to happen and we have to move on.”

Stelios GiannakopoulosStelios stays but will he make it on to the pitch with The Trotters?

He should if he nicks the Lofty outfit although it would be too big for the 28 year-old.

Stelios only started 11 games last season and spent a lot of time on the bench so his decision came as a slight surprise. There could be more opportunity for him when Bolton start their European Cup campaign.
There had been rumours about Campo joining Giannakopoulos at Bramalll Lane but I think it is safe that this will not be the case and that Ivan will remain a Wanderer too.

At least my missus will be happy.

Bye Bye Faye

Big Sam AllardyceIt looks like Bolton’s Abdoulaye Faye will be following his former boss to St. James’ Park as Allardyce says the deal is close to completion. Faye watched the Magpies League Cup win against Barnsley last night and has had a medical.
The £2million deal as good as done as Allardyce told nufc.co.uk, “Abdoulaye is in Newcastle for a medical and we expect that deal to go through in the next 24 hours.”

BWFC24 will confirm Faye’s departure on this page if/when it happens.

BWFC24 can confirm that Abdoulaye Faye is a Wanderer no more – good luck.

Nicky Hunt Signs

Nicky HuntWhat could be better than the news of Anelka’s new deal?

That’s right Westhoughton-born Nicky Hunt has also signed until 2011 (but is expected to stay longer than Anelka who is due to leave at quarter-past).

As a right-back Nicky proved essential last season while team-mate Joey O’Brien was absent through injury.

There was no babbling on from Wanderers boss, Sammy Lee, nor chairman, Phil Garside about Nicky’s renewed contract. It just go to show that speculation leads to public denial.

News of Hunt’s signing was merely tagged onto the end of the Anelka article on the official website, as if it was an afterthought.
