' BOLTON READY TO SIGN CARDIFF CITY PLAYER '

Bolton are closing in on the loan signing of Cardiff City forward Adam Le Fondre, after a move to Huddersfield Town collapsed on Thursday evening.

Having scored 41 goals in 110 appearances during a three-year spell at Reading, Le Fondre joined the Bluebirds last summer but has struggled to reach those same heights in the Welsh capital - scoring just three times in 25 outings.

Well known to Wanderers supporters as a man who scored a 33-minute first-half hat-trick against the club last season, in a 7-1 thumping at Reading, the Stockport-born forward has reportedly requested a move to the North West in order to be closer to his family.

The 28-year-old, who came through the youth system at his hometown club, has also represented Rochdale and Rotherham United over the course of the last decade.

Should he complete a move to Macron Stadium, which is expected to go through on Friday, he won't be eligible to face Liverpool on Saturday, after turning out for Cardiff in their third round victory over Colchester United.

3 reasons why this is a bad idea

1,hell start scoring
2,bolton are pretty much relegation rivals or soon will be
3,macheda might get game time

I find number 3 of those reasons the most frightening
