Obi Wan Afobe

Welcome back Marvin Sordell.  You remember him, right?  Here's an extremely rare picture of Sordell in a Bolton kit:

So few images of Sordell in the BWFC kit, 
they could be considered collectors pieces.

You kind of have to feel sorry for Sordell.  Picked for Team GB, plays well, Sturridge steals the spotlight, people tweet, "Who is this Sordell character?"  Arrives back at Bolton to start his first preseason game, is substituted after 45 minutes for Afobe, who goes on to steal the limelight by scoring a hat trick in around 30 minutes.  What must Sordell do to prove his worth in the starting 11?

Yet there may still be hope for Sordell.  Bolton reverted to playing with two strikers, with no one able to play the lone striker role successfully, meaning OC could try both Sordell and Afobe up front.  Imagine the partnership they could potentially form.  However, it is more likely one or the other would start along side the more experienced SKD.

Bolton's pursuit of Carlos "The Rock" Sanchez is officially off, the player asking for a ridiculously large sum of money, leaving OC frustrated and in need of a holding midfielder.  Which makes talk of selling Mark Davies come of some surprise.  Apparently we've been offered around £4 million from Swansea, who see him as a replacement for Joe Allen.
