I'm not sure what Megson said to the Bolton brass, but he's certainly putting the cash on the table to get his squad together. Just a week after signing Mustapha Riga, Bolton have picked up their fourth summer signing in the form of Danny ****tu from Watford for an undisclosed fee (believed to be £2 Million).
I might be a bit off on the math (and, given that Riga's fee was never discussed in the least), but I do believe this makes for Bolton's most expensive transfer window in recent memory. Even when Anelka was brought in there wasn't much cash splashed about by Big Sam...now we're looking at about £20 Million (roughly $40 Million USD) in Megson's first off-season transfer window. Most interesting, but certainly not an unwelcome sight by any means!
The question now beckons -- is this it, or is there still more to come?
