Bolton secure Knight & Ricketts

Bolton Wanderers have signed defenders Zat Knight from Aston Villa and Sam Ricketts from Hull City.

The pair have signed three-year deals at the Reebok Stadium after arriving for undisclosed fees.

They are Bolton boss Gary Megson's third and fourth signings this summer, following Sean Davis from Portsmouth and Paul Robinson from West Brom.

Bolton are also close to bringing in South Korean Lee Chung-Yong from FC Seoul according to the K-League side.

I'm actually quite pissed off that we've sold Knight...he was a good, strong defender, absolutely priceless in Pro Evo!

So now, we only have 2 recognised senior center-backs at the club......

I didn't dislike Knight as much as many fellow villa fans, and when looking at the sale with only 2 CB's it looks bad, but no one in there right mind would go into a season at any level with only 2 CB's. So we have to look at this and take it that we will be signing 2 CB's very shortly. Hopefully one is Hangerland and the other will be reserve.

I said a while ago, I reckon Sol Campbell will be joining us, if he is coming in as 4th choice them I'm pretty happy with that. Would love Hangaland to come in as well.

As for Knight, always thought he was harshly treated by some Villa fans and was a decent 4th choice. Think he will fit in at Bolton.
