Is he related to Brendan O' ?. Yeah hes a top player is Luca, a real candidate for player of the season!.
21 years old with the posture of a 48 year old dad of two walking round a museum the kids hate. I love him.
Shortly after this video, one of their fans forced his way through stewards to get at Connell. Thankfully they managed to tackle him to the ground before he did. The beef some of their fans seem to have with Luca is bizarre. The club cashed in on their best young prospect at a time where it was debatable whether they'd still have a football club if they didn't, and they seem to have held that against Luca, instead of the club.
Apparently, Celtic tried to sign him and Bolton didn’t want him to go. He asked for his contract to be cancelled and Bolton said no, so Celtic threatened legal action to force through. Fans see it as he is a snake as he tried to force the move. Can’t say I blame him personally, huge club offering 4 year contract against backdrop of being at a club that might not survive.
Weren't they in administration at the time? Because if they were, I'm fairly certain it's the administrators who handle transfer dealings and Bolton wouldn't have had a say in whether he could leave or not. Admittedly I don't know much about the situation, but reading their forum sheds little light other than 'he has an attitude problem'.
Unreal performance from him Friday night. He was organising the whole team as well as doing his job. The club need to do everything they can to keep hold of him, and give him the captain’s armband next season
I don’t remember the timing exactly but I do remember them falling down the leagues like a stone and almost into non league. They had hardly any players at all and were playing teenagers and free agents just to fulfill their fixtures. Shocking state of affairs at that time.
There were yes, administrators do work with the club, I would suspect the minute Celtic threatened legal action was enough due to the costs that would be involved.
