Landon Donovan's time with Everton is nearing its end and while he may want to make an impact in
all of his remaning games with the club, this weekend's match might be at the top of his list.
Everton are set to face Chelsea in a match that will pit Donovan against the likes of John
Terry, Juan Mata and Florent Malouda.

Tim Ream returned to England earlier this week with all the necessary paperwork completed for
him to suit up for Bolton Wanderers, and he might not have to wait long at all to make his
debut.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle told reporters on Thursday morning that Ream, and two of the other
club's recent acquisitions, will be on the gameday squad that will take on Wigan Athletic in a
match with relegation implications on Saturday.
We have something a little different for you today on Twohundredpercent, as Paul Grech meets Ben
Perry Acton, a player that forsook the English game to pursue a career in Malta. In addition to
this, Ben had a grandfather whose name will be more than familiar to the supporters of Blackpool
and Bolton Wanderers Bill Perry, who scored the winning goal in The Matthews FA Cup Final match
between the two clubs in 1953.

Now that the dust has settled, here's a look at some of the transfers that took place during the
January transfer window, and see if we can separate the wheat from the chaff.
Whereas last season money was being splashed out on the likes of Fernando Torres and Andy
Carroll like a mad gambler who got his greasy mits on a load of free bets, the window this time
around was a lot more sensible, indicating a lot less value in the market.

Manchester United just will not go away as they overcame a 3-0 deficit to draw away to Chelsea
and keep pressure on Manchester City.
It was shaping up to be a long afternoon at Stamford Bridge as a 1-0 halftime lead for Chelsea
from Jonathan Evans' own goal was quickly extended.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has urged his players to get their ailing domestic campaign back
on track by recapturing the spirit of their famous invincible side of the 2003-04 season.
On Wednesday, Arsenal played out a 0-0 draw with Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium and
although they finally managed to end their point drought after three consecutive defeats, it wasn't
a source of joy for the Gunners as they now find themselves at seventh position on the league
table, behind the likes of Newcastle United and Liverpool.
The 2012 January transfer window was a rather more sedate affair than it's 2011 predecessor.
Money was spent much more sensibly this time around as opposed to being thrown around like a
compulsive gambler who had hacked into a free bets website.
Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez did not get a move away from the Etihad and Manchester
United did not break the bank to sign Wesley Sneijder.

Don't feel bad that you missed all the transfer news because you're such important people. We
too were engaged in frantic busy work (sleeping, shopping, drinking or a horrifying and painful
combination of all three) when the window slammed shut at 23.
Fresh off a transfer from the struggling Bolton Wanderers, defender Gary Cahill is reportedly
already unhappy at Stamford Bridge. Cahill found himself on the bench for Chelsea's recent match
against Swansea City, as he was hoping to fill in for the injured John Terry.
Goal.com is reporting that an inside source close to the Chelsea training camp noted
that Cahill looked as if "his head has gone," but noted that Cahill has not filed any official
complaint with manager Andre Villas-Boas.
A dictionary definition of "hope" is: "the feeling that what is wanted can be had
or that events will turn out for the best."
In recent games there have been certain Arsenal players who, when they receive the ball, induce
in me the opposite of hope.
What I mean by this is the very personal effect they have on me when watching the game.

Bolton Wanderers 0-0 Arsenal Premier League 1st February 2012
Arsenal match reports are starting to write themselves loads of possession, nice passing, loads
of chances, no goals. More often than not you can even tag "concede late goal from set-piece" onto
the end of that, although on this occasion, the Gunners did manage to go off-script and keep their
sheet clean for the night.

Formed by the Reverend Thomas Ogden as Christ Church FC in 1874, the club changed it's name to
Bolton Wanderers in 1877, they chose the name as they had difficulty in finding a regular ground at
which to play their matches before settling at Burnden Park.

The saga is finally over, but it unfortunately is not the result that Philadelphia Union fans
were hoping it to be.
Sebastien Le Toux's trade to the Vancouver Whitecaps is now official, a source close to the
situation told the Brotherly Game. The source did not know of the details of what the trade would
involve, other than Le Toux heading to Canada.
It has been a busy and confusing few days for Union fans. Kerith Gabriel has an updated story on
the Faryd Mondragon, Seba Le Toux and Roger Torres. So with the latest information, here is a quick
rundown of where we are at:
Sebastien Le Toux rumors (Rumors = no confirmed sources)
- The Union's all-time leader in goals, assists, minutes played, and hilarious goal dances will
not be moving to England's Bolton Wanderers.
Sebastien Le Toux could be announced as a Vancouver Whitecaps player as soon as tomorrow, with
no player going sent to the Philadelphia Union in return, according to Irfaan Gaffar.
The soccer reporter announced over Twitter that the deal to bring Le Toux back to the Pacific
Northwest, known affectionately as Cascadia to North American soccer fans, would happen this
week.
Sebastien Le Toux will not move to Bolton Wanderers, of the English Premier League, signaling
that his time in MLS has not yet ended. However, the Philadelphia Union may not be the club with
which Le Toux starts the 2012 MLS season.
A source close to the situation tells the Brotherly Game that the Vancouver Whitecaps have
inquired about Le Toux and have emerged as a candidate for a trade.

Chelsea is looking for a better second half of the season in the Premiership, and it is hoping
the signing of an attacking midfielder will help them do that.
Chelsea is set to sign Kevin De Bruyne from Belgian club RC Genk on a five-year deal.
The Sebastien Le Toux has taken another turn, as the striker is apparently once again available
to Bolton Wanderers if a bid is tabled.
The Bolton News is reporting that the Philadelphia Union are open to selling Le Toux to the
Wanderers, but only "for a fair price." Bolton has been rumored to be waiting for other transfers
to finalize before moving onto a transfer for Le Toux.
With just a day left in the transfer window, the normal last minute rush that has been so common
in past years looks non existent with many clubs choosing to remain very quite in this January.
Carlos Tevez's big money transfer that we were all keenly looking forward to failed to
materialise after City refused to back down on their €30 million buying price.
Despite what a quote attributed to Owen Coyle in Sporting Life says, Sebastien Le Toux is still
a transfer target for Bolton Wanderers, if the money is available.
Alan Nixon, of The People and Mirror Football, is reporting that Bolton is focusing mostly upon
wingers, but that Le Toux is still on the team's mind.
Silly season has bitten the Philadelphia Union hard, as the international transfer window is set
to close in three days. After apparently shrugging off a Sebastien Le Toux transfer to Bolton
Wanderers, the Union are set to lose team captain Faryd Mondragon.
The 40-year-old is on his way back to Colombia, according to Deportivo Cali's Vice
President.
Lionard Pajoy is all but an official Philadelphia Union player, according to Itaqui Ditaire's
President.
Jose Fernando Salazar told Golcaracol that Pajoy is headed to Philadelphia to play in MLS in
2012. A contract has been signed and only obtaining a P-1 visa is holding up the transfer from
becoming official.
