A boost for the defence
Long time coming

The (eventual) signing of Ivan Campo is a significant boost to Bolton. It’s been some time coming, but I’m sure we’ll see that it’ll be worth the wait. He’ll provide some class and big time experience to pep up Gudni and Mike Whitlow. Sometimes the introduction of a new face freshens up the place and with his pedigree at Madrid he’s just the man. I like the fact that he’s signed on loan, it’s a low risk piece of business and we haven’t had to splash out a transfer fee. OK the boy’s wages wont be on peanuts, but all round I’m happy.

It’s been a tough start to the season and when you look at the fixture list it isn’t going to get any better. The Villa game is important, going in to games against Liverpool. Man Utd and Arsenal doesn’t inspire you with confidence. If you face those three without a point, then the confidence is low and the pressure is high. Sam knows what he’s doing, but it’s a tough take. The signing if Campo is a great timing, whatever role he play’s against Villa, I just hope his presence will provide the boost we need.
