Bolton Wanderers lifted themselves off the bottom with a deserved win away to Wigan.

Liverpool FC has earmarked a future move to sign Dutch international striker...

Clive Brunskill/Getty Images (Bleacher Report) Recent Liverpool turned Bolton Wanderer striker David N'Gog has thrown his former club a thank you saying that his days at the club made him stronger.
The Rafael Benitez signing was a prime candidate to take up the front man spot under his former boss, but he was seen as surplus to Kenny Dalglish and the clubs new owners.

Clive Brunskill/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) Bolton Wanderers have been chasing the signature of Liverpool's 22-year old French attacker David N'Gog for the last few months, and it looks like he is finally set to make the move in the next 24 hours.
As the deal has been left late, the Trotters are racing to get it done in time just as Liverpool is.

Stu Forster/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) The Reds ended their August fixture set on a high with a resounding 3-1 win against Bolton Wanderers in front of a packed house at Anfield. Off to their best start in several years, the Reds have not only been doing well on their pitch, but the efforts of Kenny Dalglish and Damien Camolli off the pitch have seen great results.

Stanley Chou/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) Behind all the current Craig Bellamy and Sebastian Coates transfer news for the Reds is the continuing possibility of young French striker David N'Gog and his proposed move to Bolton Wanderers.
N'Gog is a left over prodigy of the Rafael Benitez era and he has so far totaled 94 appearances for the club scoring 19 goals for the Reds.

Danny returns to the place where he somewhat realized his full potential. Bolton, in a league free fall, will not be interested in seeing his face again. Well, that is unless he joins Gael Kakuta in that egregious Wanderers garb on the hosts' side of the stands. Stop day-dreaming, Owen.

Dreaded

The draw in midweek was a not-so-mild disappointment.

Noel's gone ahead and capped a busy summer by churning out some unparalleled deadline day coverage, and if you're just coming back into the fray, scrolling down is an absolute necessity. From Tuesday's confirmation that Sebastian Coates had arrived to the exit of Raul Meireles last night, the club's transfer activity was covered incomparably.

Phew! It was that time again, and as per usual things were manic. We at In The Stands struggled to keep up with all the kerfuffle and constant will-he-wont-he debacles. However, after much journalistic endeavours, we have managed to finally pin down the most significant transfers on a thoroughly exciting last day of the transfer window.

Liverpool concluded a productive transfer window with a late surprise when they...

David Ngog had today sealed a £4mil deal to take him to Bolton.

The 22 yr old french striker joined the reds in 2008 from Paris St Germain for £1.5mil.

Here is what the Bolton manager had to say about Ngog.

"David will be a great addition to our squad," said Coyle.

"He is quick, can score goals and he knows what the Barclays Premier League is all about.

Early in the summer it seemed as though Ngog would head to Sunderland as part of the Jordan Henderson deal, and even after that move fell through there never seemed any doubt he would find his way out of Liverpool when the window was said and done. More recently, it was believed a successful move to Bolton hinged only on Liverpool's ability to acquire a more seasoned backup striker who wouldn't need the games the young Frenchman does to further develop.

Liverpool are still likely to allow at least five players to leave before transfer deadline tomorrow as they are all surplus to requirements.

The new owners are keen to clear alot of the "Deadwood" which is still in the Liverpool squad to free up space for more new players and allow the club to run more efficiently.

Fresh reports out today are that Blackburn Rovers will now contest Bolton for the £4mil rated David Ngog.

Ngog struggled to hold down a regular first team spot last season after the January arrival of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll.

It's thought that Kenny Dalglish wants to sign another striker who will be able to push his star duo for selection.

David N'gog should complete his protracted £4million move to Bolton Wanderers...

After playing two tightly-contested matches last season Liverpool scored the winners in the 86th and 92nd minutes respectively Bolton visits Anfield in hopes of continuing what's been an encouraging start to the season. Liverpool's had all the success in this matchup over the past few years, winning the last nine, but with two deserved wins and a hard-fought loss to City last weekend, tomorrow's visitors will arrive expecting to get a result.

Will the young Belgian defender make an impact at T'Reebok?

News broke on Ye Olde Twitter this morning that Manchester City youngster Dedryck Boyata will make a move to the Reebok for the remainder of the 2011/2012 season. Boyata's season long loan deal will allow the Trotters more options at center back, especially if Gary Cahill were to get a move to one of the many rumored suitors for him.

Liverpool get their League Cup campaign underway tomorrow in Exeter, hoping to find some sort of midweek success going early in the new season. It's not quite the type of midweek action we would have hoped for, but it's football, it's a chance to see some of the less familiar faces get a run out, and, at this point, it's a chance at silverware.

One more player leaves Liverpool while rumours swirl about potential replacements. Plus Aquilani's agent doing what he does best, papers rehashing year old stories, and all the rest of the week's fun as the rumour mills hit top gear again with the window heading to its close...

Sotirios Kyrgiakos

The big Greek defender left for Wolfsburg on a free transfer late on Monday, the player eager to get more playing time than seemed likely at Liverpool and the club happy to get his wages off the books.

There are growing speculation that Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is keen on...

It is said that Bolton will launch another bid of £4mill to try and sign Liverpool striker David Ngog before the transfer window shuts on August 31.

David Ngog has had his fair share of opportunities at Liverpool over the years, but never really reached his full potential scoring just nine league goals in 63 appearances.

You thought you could escape the summer transfer window when Premier League football returned? Well, you thought wrong. And on top of the expected rumours linking Liverpool to various English defenders, there's a whole new round of rumours that just don't seem to make sense any way you come at them to dig through as we rush towards September first and begin to scrape the bottom of the proverbial barrel.

The final week before the Premier League season starts is an easy time for the madness of the transfer window to fade into the background, but with a few notable holes on Liverpool's squad, a couple of long-running sagas, and a handful of players expected to be on their way out any day now, all because the focus is shifting to actual football doesn't mean there aren't things happening in the tawdry world of transfers and transfer rumours.

Let's just get the standard "doesn't mean anything unless someone looks good, then we'll get really excited" proclamations out of the way few conclusions can be made from any preseason match, and after the display today we'll have to hope that the Liverpool we see on August 13th has little in common with the one we saw today.

Charlie Adam gets off the mark for Liverpool... It was another game filled with goals for Liverpool in the impressive stadium in Kuala Lumpar. Filled to the rafters with Liverpool fans, i think the Malaysia XI may have felt a bit small. Kenny Dalglish was missing from the sidelines as he's home sorting out the the small matter of Stewart Downing.

Conor Coady's strike gave Liverpool their third goal... Liverpool today got their pre season off to a winning start with a game that had goals galore. It was an action packed match in the far East and Guangdong provided more excitement than most predicted. Kenny Dalglsih had the opportunity to parade several players including youngsters Wisdom and Coady, plus new signing Charlie Adam.

Liverpool 4: Poulsen 19′, N'Gog 22′, Coady 72′, Carroll 85′
Guangdong 3: Steer 46′, Lin 90′, Hongbo 92′

And so a new season begins. Or at least the road to it does. Certainly without the extended break forced by the European Championships and World Cup in recent years it doesn't feel like as much of a wait as in the past, when half the players would have just now been starting into their short summer breaks following international commitments.
