bolton seems to be angry…

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce says he is "disappointed" by Dietmar Hamann's decision to join Manchester City after agreeing a move to the Reebok Stadium.
City paid Bolton compensation but Allardyce believes the 32-year-old midfielder misled him and the club.

"Hamann didn't tell the full story when he tried to get out of the agreement he had with us," Allardyce said.

"I am the only manager to get £400,000 for a player who never kicked a ball for the club."

Liverpool released Hamann at the end of last season and announced on Tuesday that he had joined Bolton after seven successful years at Anfield.

Shortly afterwards, it was revealed the German midfielder would be joining Manchester City on a free transfer instead after being lured by reports the club wanted to sign him.

Hamann signed a two-year deal at Eastlands and Allardyce, though he missed out on his man for the second time, is happy to have swelled Bolton's coffers in a bit of brisk business.

"He and his agent resurrected interest in Bolton after we'd missed out on him 12 months before," Allardyce said.

"Didi Hamann is a history breaker. This is the best transfer deal I have ever done in my life.

"Now my whole thought process is channelled to strengthening the squad here."

I don't know why Rafa has even let hamann go at all!

He had useful attributes to offer the team for another two seasons at least!

Hamann had exeptional abilites like holing the ball up and not giving possession away, etc.

Why offload him? I know The squad is deep, but if your midfielders get inurjured for a few weeks, who you gonna call???

Salif Diao? or Zenden? I'd take Hamann over these!

or the Ghostbusters!

I can only assume, in Rafa letting him go, that he is confident in his own judgement.

I think Rafa has done the right thing, because as good as he is, he commands a big massive wage and he is getting on a bit, he might have the footballing brain but I doubt he has the legs nowadays, prehaps motivating him will be hard now he doesn't have a chance of getting in the Germany Squad, and the lack of games he would get.

"We'll put that £400,000 to use on bringing in somebody hopefully better than Dietmar Hamann"
