Bolton play down Cahills Chelsea move hitch

Bolton play down Cahill's Chelsea move hitch

02 January 2012 - 07:14

Bolton manager Owen Coyle has played down talk of Gary Cahill's move to Chelsea falling through, instead insisting that talks are still ongoing and that the player will eventually have to make a decision regarding his career.

  • Omari Hutchinson wants to continue at Ipswich Town

  • Bolton are looking for around 12m GBP for Cahill, whilst Chelsea are believed to be some way off with their valuation at around 8m GBP. Bolton are desperate to sell Cahill before the player can leave for free this summer.



    "I heard what Andre Villas-Boas said the other day that they were a bit apart. He's obviously heard from one meeting," said Coyle.



    "They've only had one meeting with Gary's representative and then, with the games coming up, I had to make sure Gary was focused. Gary hasn't spoken to Chelsea yet.



    "It's like anything else, if I got into a meeting with you, we're not going to shake hands after two seconds and agree, you're going to be apart, that's how negotiations work.



    "Whatever comes in the next few days, it'll come, but if it doesn't then Gary remains a Bolton player."
