Nolan: "Its A Step Up & Has Much More To Offer"

Newcastle United new boy Kevin Nolan has admitted that he was shocked by his quick exit out of Bolton, but believes that it is a step up and that Newcastle have much more to offer than his former club.

He told the Bolton News;

"(My agent) told me Newcastle were on and did I fancy it.

I asked him what the club had said about it and he said they were negotiating.

It was a bit of a shock. There had been rumours in the past but they were always quashed, so I must admit I was disappointed that the club were prepared to sell me.

I saw myself being at Bolton for many more years, but I've had time to think about it and it might be something I needed and something Bolton needed.

It's a very sad time for me in many ways because I've left Bolton after so many years but I'm delighted with the move and excited about starting another chapter.

It's a step up and has much more to offer. Newcastle is massively supported and, if they can get things right in the next couple of years, they can definitely be back up there challenging the top four. The potential and the quality of the squad is incredible.

At the moment we're in a scrap with Bolton but I'm sure we'll both be safe.

There's no doubt in my mind that they are going to stay in the Premier League."

Id agree it is a step up for kevin nolan but i think it is a step in the rite direction for us aswell.

He is a good player and will bring a lot of experiance and hpoefully some goals. p.s well done for that clearance off the line on sun.

Glad to hear someone's confident and, perhaps, spirited.

Get in, lad!

good for once to see a player come into a club and say thanks and lay down support for the club he left, unlike given, zoggy, milner etc etc.

couldnt just expect the lad to leave the club hes been with all of his life and just say "yeh im a newcastle player now, fu.ck bolton" Good on ya nolan lad.

Exactly what we need. Encouraged by his runs into the box on sunday.

he looked the part before kick off, had a lot to say to his new team mates. he should know a bit more about the players around him by the next match as well, he was a little bit by-passed when we had possesion on sunday but that will change. he has lots to offer, lets hope he settles quickly
