Elmander

Premier League Bolton Wanderers
comment on the article

Bolton have signed Johan Elmander for a reported 11 million.
I watched him at the euroes and diddnt think he was very good, granted he was playing out of position i still thought he was clumsy and had a poor shot. Hopefully i'll be proved wrong, what do you think!

Bolton? It's the Euro Final and you talk about the EPL? and Bolton? a half past six team? That's the BBC for you.

Talk about Germany, the match officials, Spain or the venue.But not stupid Bolton,with it's Kick and Rush football!!!Perhaps the FA should limit the EPL team to 5 teams.With three english players per team,if you can find them!!!.

What do you guys think?

Cheers!

I think he'll prove to be a prety good signing once he settles in to the premiership.

I'm a Liverpool fan and a jelous one I beleive you guys have made a great signing there. He can create somthing out of nothing with his footwork. No disrespect but i felt he could have gone to a better club still maybe with a few more signings like this you won't finish any where near the bottom.

13 goals and 13 assists...in one season? For Bolton?? You must be joking. He'll be very lucky to get 13 goals and assists combined.

he can create from nothing and with fabrice in holding he will be able to attack

Sanjay, you epitomise everything I hate about armchair football fans. People like you would love it if the EPL was only 5 teams so that your beloved Man U would win every week.

Come to think of it, why not reduce the World Cup to 4 teams while we're at it? After all, the same teams get to the semis every time don't they?

You are, as we say in Bolton, a total prat.

Check youtube for Johan Elmander and Toulouse, you'll see a player who has fierce pace, playing a straight-forward football and who, in his best days, will be a challenge for any Premier league defence. In the Euro 2008 qualification he scared Puyol and Spain with his drives and good balance. Playing him out of position, like Lagerbäck did in Euro2008 did not do him any favours, easy to see..

His cons are lack of consistency and his touch on the ball when being confronted in small spaces, that's what he should work on in the future. A player who certainly fits in the Bolton teams kind-of-play, will be exciting to see what he can do!

All strikers are over priced. We have just got to give the guy a chance.

And Sanjay you are a prat of the highest order. Do you actually go to football matches ??? Somehow I doubt it. !!!!

And if you do.........there is no hope for you.
