Vassell keen on switch to Trotters
Darius Vassell has been tipped to make a January move to Bolton after becoming disillusioned with life in Turkey with Ankaragucu.

The former Manchester City striker's summer switch to Turkey took a lot of people by surprise.
But the move has since turned sour as he was turfed out of his temporary accommodation this week because his cash-strapped club couldn't afford to pay the bill.
It has left the 29-year-old in limbo and he is now seeking a move to Bolton.
Vassell, who will be available for around £2million, has attracted interest from West Brom but his links with Aston Villa and desire for Premier League football is likely to lead him to The Reebok.
Bolton boss Gary Megson has yet to firm up his interest but with doubts over Johan Elmander's long-term future, he is likely to offer Vassell a deal in January.
A source close to the player told the News of the World: "Darius is not too sure about his future in Turkey now. He is looking at all of his options and would consider moving to Bolton."

"Vassell. He'll be as good for you as Knight, McCann, Samuel. "
Jonny Bolton (Bolton Wanderers fan)
"a5tonv1lla, Aston Villa fan, please don't comment on things you know nothing about. You of all people should know how fans fell when things aren't right at their club. A lot of Bolton fans have been patient with the chairman and the manager like you were all those years ago under Ellis. You wanted a change, you let your feelings known, and change is what you got."

"IMO Bolton fans should get off Megson's back. You were punching above your weight with Sam Allerdyce, Anelka was a freak signing, Sammy Lee would have made you sink like a stone and you only need to look to the likes of Charlton, Southampton, Middlesbrough and co to see how well Megson has done up until now"

"Rather than giving up on Elmander, give up on Megson. it'll be cheaper and a good coach could make a good team with elmander, davies and klasnic."

"Another potential 'master signing' from Megson - one can understand why many Bolton fans' hate him!"
