Leeds Signing Had Been Given Permission to Speak to Town
Leeds Signing Had Been Given Permission to Speak to Town
Monday, 3rd Jan 2011 20:59

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has revealed that defender Andy O’Brien had been given permission to speak to Town and Cardiff City prior to agreeing to join the Whites on a permanent basis earlier this week. O’Brien has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the club with whom he has been on loan since October but with the formalities still to be completed.

Coyle said: "It has certainly not happened yet, but Andy was given permission to speak to Leeds, as he was with Cardiff and Ipswich.”

Former Irish international O’Brien, 31, was previously with Bradford, Newcastle and Portsmouth.

O'Brien is sh*t anyway, but probably better than what we already have at the back accept maybe MacAuley.

why on earth do we need another centre half?? Can't believe this news. Any chance of a full back that isn't scared of crossing the half way line or a creative midfielder????

He's Irish, plays in a position we don't need, past his best - fits the bill nicely Keane, must have taken you months to scout that potential signing. I despair, totally cluless!

Makes no differance as ipswich cannot attract any decent players and 31 is not past prime.

We don't need a CB... Concentrate on trying to persuade MaCauley to sign... Although I'm sure he's already planning to walk away from the guy who stripped him of the captaincy - and vowed never to pleay him again at one stage... If it we're me in Gary's position I couldn't wait to walk away from PR - as I will do if this Joker is still in charge come season ticket renewel time.

C'mon that's all harsh, Leeds need him more than us anyway as they took that donkey Bruce off us !!

Chelsea will knock us out of the FA and Arsenal out of the LC - but at least we've some decent cup monies and the extra rest and single vision we might just claw ourselves out of the poop we've been in for the last 2 years. We're at best a mid table bunch of misdirected misfits managed by an over grown ego that's doing his best, which at the moment isn't up to muster!@

Depressed isn't the word, Please we need a proper signing, a footballer and someone that'll give a spark to the other players - that wasn't O'Brien, or was it? I fe*king hope not.

COYB

Clegg, sort your poop out and get a result before it's too late. The club is nothing without fans and you driving them away by the Thousand at the moment.

Why are we trying to sign a centre back when we already have Brown, Delaney, McAuley, O'Dea and Smith?! Could it be that yet again Keane has his priorities all wrong? What about right-backs, wingers and strikers?!

Agree with Ole - He's Irish and a half, of course Keane tried to sign him. Has nothing to do with whether we need him or if he is any good, it's more of Keane following the same old pattern of going for someone who is available, who he knows, irrespective of the position.

Has to go NOW.

That should be CENTRE HALF of course.
