Why would it be an attitude problem? Maybe he just doesn't fit into Bolton's plans of not winning many games.

 

Just not sure there would be any other reason he can't get in the Bolton team other than an attitude issue, unless he's had injuries? 

 

Looked a really good player in past years but gone a bit quiet recently so I'll reserve judgement for now, Mac knows best  ;)

Perhaps Eagles just needs a change of scenery.

 

2007/08 Promoted from Championship with Burnley, 57 appearances, 7 goals

2009/10 Relegated from Premier League with Burnley 38 appearances, 3 goals

2010/11 8th place in The Championship with Burnley, 48 appearances, 15 goals

2011/12 Relegated from Premier League with Bolton, 41 appearances, 6 goals

2012/13 7th place in The Championship with Bolton, 47 appearances, 12 goal

 

only 18 appearances and one goal this season though

I guess it depends how ambitious we are. Both signings suggest to me we expect to be in the Championship next year. Neither in my opinion is Prem class.

The player I would like us to look at would be Craig Noone at Cardiff. I think he really is class and can't believe he's not a regular.

Wouldn't drop down, no way. Eagles is PL quality IMO, was good for Bolton when they were up there.

Andrews is not expecting to go back to Bolton

 

Keith Andrews - Bolton return doubtful after Brighton spell

Midfielder Keith Andrews believes it is unlikely he will return Bolton after his loan spell at Brighton finishes at the end of the season.

Trotters boss Dougie Freedman had said he expected the 33-year-old - who has made 24 appearances for Albion to date this term - to return to the Reebok. 

But Andrews told BBC Sussex : "Although I have a year left on my contact, I would be very surprised if I was there.

"The writing's been on the wall since the day he let me go on loan."

Keith Andrews scored four goals in 27 appearances for Bolton Wanderers last season, but only featured twice for the Trotters this term, before going out on a season-long loan to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The former Wolves, MK Dons and Blackburn man admits he read the reports about his Trotters future after being alerted to them by his father.

"I'm surprised really," said Andrews.

"That [having a future at Bolton] would be what the headlines would say, but if you actually analyse what he [Freedman] said, I doubt that is the case in all honesty.

"There is not a lot in there [Freedman's comments] to suggest I have a big future at Bolton.

"We are all old enough and long enough in the tooth to play the game a little bit."

Andrews, who joined Bolton on a three-year deal in June 2012 after being released by West Brom, had said the move to the Seagulls had come as "a bit of a bolt out of the blue" in August.

The Republic of Ireland international was ineligible to face his parent club last week, but returns to Oscar Garcia's side to face fellow promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Brighton are just one point and two places outside the top six, while Ipswich are a further place and five points adrift.

"Hopefully we can keep the good run going. We have done quite well against teams in the top half of the table and they are the ones you want to take points off," said Andrews.

"We have let ourselves down against the so called lesser sides, so when we do play those teams in the coming weeks we have to make sure we take some decent points against them."

If/when were in the playoffs and we'll be playing a strong team like QPR/Wigan/Brighton or Reading we need as many match winners as possible.

Eagles has ability and is a match winner. Also offers genuine quality on set pieces so no brainer for me. You can never have too many quality players

I was imagining we were going up and Cardiff replacing us. Also, Eagles hasn't set the world alight this year even though he was good against us. I do accept that he might have become dispirited playing for an average team and would benefit from our slick passing.
