Premier League Round-Up: Blackpool offload http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dekel-Keinan-c10799; Bolton Wanderers to honour Nat Lofthouse
Blackpool
Blackpool have confirmed that they have offloaded defender Dekel Keinan, as they have accepted an offer from Cardiff City for the player. The player has joined the side for an undisclosed fee for 2-and-a-half years. Cardiff now
has to wait until a work permit is confirmed by the authorities to really seal the deal for the defender.
Manager Dave Jones was absolutely delighted to have signed up the player and stated that Dekel’s inclusion would really up the standards at the club. The boss added that he had made a move for the defender last season but Dekel
looked forward to playing in the Premier League.
“Sadly for him it didn't work out for him as he would have hoped as Blackpool have done well. But for the games he played in, Dekel did well and we know we are signing a player who can play at the highest level," stated the manager.
Bolton Wanderers
Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has urged his side to perform at their top level, in order to respect the services of Nat Lofthouse to the club. A minute’s silence is expected to honour the legendary forward just before the
kick-off against Chelsea. The manager claimed that Nat is a legend at the club and expects the players to do all they can to give him the right respect - and finish off http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s title race once and for all. Coyle added that Nat was the best player for the
club but was even a bigger supporter of Bolton Wanderers.
“I ask my players the same thing, to give their best for those supporters, so they know they have a team to be proud of. I am pretty sure on Monday the players will do that," stated the manager.
The former Bolton player died of old age just a week ago and his funeral is to be taken place on Wednesday in a private ceremony in the Bolton Parish Church. Nat was a one club man, as the player made 450 appearances for Bolton,
scoring 255 goals. The player played between the years of 1946 to 1960. Bolton Wanderers have managed some impressive results this season and are currently 10th in the Premier League. Chelsea would be looking to make quick work of the in-form Wanderers,
in order to keep their title defence hopes alive. If they fail to do so, they might just be playing to hang on to their Champions league spot and rebuild in the coming summer.
