Times linking Carlos with his former boss, you know the one with the pube like hair...........

Surprise surprise.

No thanks,once was enough!

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

What?  He was an £8.5million player a few seasons ago.  He must be a steal on a free!

I think so. Not the greatest midfielder around but he's definitely IMO an improvement on what we have and he's got a clause in his contract which means that he can leave Bolton for nothing following relegation.

[timeoutbigbar]

Could have used him this season.  I'm hoping we won't be as desperate as to need him next.

£ 8.5 million?Over priced and he would want far to much in the wages departement.

I would have him back like a shot. Leader, gets tackles in, and we missed him terribly this season.

[Mazrim]

We missed him last season but we should move on now to more dynamic players.

[Lambert and Payne]

Limited player but how badly we needed a leader to do the nitty gritty this season. I'd hope this season we look for a bit better, but wouldn't complain if we went for him
More of a 'meh' signing

Reo-Coker was under-rated at villa. I think he was great for us. Sure he would never split a defence with a pass but he had en engine, got stuck in and I used to enjoy those surging runs with the ball that relieved the pressure on our back line.

Herd > Reo-Coker

[Mazrim]

Surging runs when he ran into a dead end and we lost the ball again.

Yeah, I think we'll leave it there. Herd wil be a better player and there will certainly be better players our there not asking for £50-60k p/w.

If he is asking for that fair enough, but I would take him back on 30k a week. Herd is a good player, but not close to having the hassling ability of Reo Coker yet, and if out, we have no one at all in that role. Strengthening there is a must, and on a free I would have him back.
