Camel Meriem Rejected by Wanderers

Little has been reported about Camel Meriem since his trial with Bolton Wanderers Football Club.

Despite his trial with the club and an apparent offer of a two year deal back in April (2009) it seems that Meriem no longer features in Gary Megson’s plans.

Camel Meriem may still become a player in the Premier League as he begun a trial with Blackburn Rovers this week. However, on his second day with former Wanderers’ manager, Big Sam Allardyce, the French international injured one of his knees and returned to France to recuperate. It is thought that Camel Meriem will return to Ewood Park in three weeks.

“He does have to accept he has got two world class centre-halfs in front of him but he can’t do much other than he is doing now.”

Meanwhile, Cahill’s told The Bolton News:

New Shirt Design Blog Features Bolton Wanderers

When Spanish football fan Diego posted a link via the comments I thought that he had uncovered the demise of Bolton Wanderers Reebok football shirts. It all made sense as Reebok no longer sponsor BWFC’s shirts and the Reebok brand is owned by Adidas.

“I’ve always liked Bolton, so I decided to design those shirts.”

It transpires that he simply enjoys designing football shirts and his new blog, The Shirt Case, is where he shows off his designs and they are not bad either — judge for yourself at The Shirt Case.
