Market

Tomás Gemelli is a Bolton Wanderers player

The fee is $790.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Birmingham drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Transfer targets

Bolton Wanderers rebuffed over Richard Clarke

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Arsenal have kept their man, and Bolton Wanderers go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bolton Wanderers

Sam Dalby and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Harvey Hampson is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

Birmingham expected to open talks for Marcos Gómez

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Bolton Wanderers will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Words at Bolton Wanderers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Will Hughes is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

A late step up for Jack Mawditt

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Match

Bolton Wanderers are in real trouble now

Position 23, 21 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Luca Kirkpatrick puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bolton Wanderers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Bolton Wanderers

Atsuki Ito and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Bolton Wanderers

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sam Dalby was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Sam Dalby reaches 50 goals

50 goals for the club, every one of them filed away in the memory of a supporter somewhere.

Player ratings

Max Conway was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

One of those days for Sam Dalby

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
