Some Bolton fans were expecting a Bolton Wanderers fans favourite to move on loan to Hillsborough today, but perhaps to the surprise of many this player is none other than USA international midfielder Stuart Holden.
Holden was an integral part of the Wanderers team and a firm favourite in the stands up to his knee injury sustained by a tackle from Jonny Evans at Old Trafford in March 2013.

Bolton Looking To Hijack Ghanian Palace Target
It is that time of the month, or you could say season, where rumours are rife and you honestly do not know what to believe. We’ve learned that over the years where Bolton has been linked with many a name, some which have materialised and some which haven’t – remember the Rivaldo incident?
However, as Dougie Freedman gets hit mits dirty in the current transfer window, we are now linked with Albert Adomah. Bristol City have reportedly rejected two bids down from Crystal Palace, whom are looking for a replacement for Wilfed Zaha who joins Premier League outfit Manchester United next season.

[Poll Results] Silvestre To Bolton, Yay Or Nay?
News broke last week that Mikael Silvestre, former Manchester United, Werder Bremen and of Arsenal, is touting for a move to the North West of England to play in the Championship, highlighting Blackburn or Bolton as his preferred destinations.
The 35-year-old admits a playing return to Old Trafford is not an option, but he would be willing to listen to offers from Championship clubs based in the north west of the country.
As a result of this claim, we ran a short poll over the weekend to see what the general fan base thought of the prospect of having Silvestre at the Reebok. Approximately 131 votes were placed, with the results showing as follows:

Red Issue – A Step Too Far?
Manchester United fanzine, ‘Red Issue,’ released their latest fanzine on Monday before United’s match against Fulham. Now, if you are not aware of this yet, the cover is a satirical take on the events that happened at White Hart Lane on March 17th.
The defence for this issue is that it is not aimed at Fabrice Muamba, but the media circus that then followed on Twitter with thousands of people sending numerous tweets about it.
However, this is no complete defence.
Yes, people were posting to their Facebook and their Twitter updates about the midfielder, but that is because of the amount of support and fans Fabrice has. Not just within Bolton though, the whole of football has seemed to unite to show how much they care about him.
Another way people are backing-up Red Issue is by pointing out that no one cares when a young man dies in Afghanistan, but when a celebrity does, the world seems to stop.
I can understand where they were coming from and until recently I would have agreed. However, when the celebrity involved is so involved in part of your life, how can you not be effected? Every week, along with many Wanderers fans, I’ve been tweeting my support for Muamba through a seemingly tough stage of his career. Then for this to happen to such a nice and genuine guy was just so unexpected that I really didn’t know how to react.
Thousands of people were in that stadium and almost saw a 23-year-old man die in front of their very own eyes. Is it really okay to laugh at their grief?
Twitter is the norm these days. It is how many people communicate and it is a constantly updating source of news for others. If you hear the news about Muamba on there, where else are you going to communicate about such a big event?
