The Daily Mail reports that Bolton Wanderers have bagged Levante striker Mustapha Riga, but might have to partake in some legal malarkey in order to push the signing through.
According to the Mail’s press hounds:

“Riga is in dispute with his Spanish club after they failed to pay his wages for nine months.

“He has penned a two-year deal with Bolton on the proviso he can join them as a free transfer.

“Levante want a fee of £500,000 and the matter is expected to end up before a judge before his future is decided.” (Daily Mail)

Riga was one of the few rays of light in the pretty rancid Levante side last year, so even if Gary Megson and his Bolton boys have to cough up a few more readies, then it still looks to be a good deal.

Roy Keane wasn’t joking when, at the end of last season, he told reporters that he needed a large influx of players to ensure his team continued to survive in the Premier League. The Irishman seems to be set on signing an entirely new team at the moment, with a new face coming in every other day at the Stadium of Light.

New Golden Gloves champion, Joey Barton, is set to be released from jail this week after serving time for beating a man senseless outside of a McDonald’s in the centre of Liverpool.

It’s entirely possible that Sam Allardyce is in pole position to become the next manager of Blackburn Rovers. After all, he has been interviewed at Ewood Park about the position and has demonstrated his prowess in the Premier League with Bolton. Some might argue he might have done well at St James’ Park if he’d been given the opportunity, although that was cut short by some fickle fans and an owner who knows less about football than my great aunt.

This Spurs man seems set to leave WHL, but should Juande Ramos battle to keep him at the club?

Bolton are ready to battle it out with Newcastle and Aston Villa for Tottenham’s £4m-rated defender Michael Dawson. (Various)
