Colin Harvey Interview

A former soccer player who played a total of 365 games in his career and scoring 18 goals in the process for Everton and 2 goals for Sheffield Wednesday, Colin Harvey was perhaps also known for his stint as the Everton youth team coach.

As youth coach, Harvey was successful in winning the FA Youth Cup in 1998. During his spell as Youth Coach, Harvey nurtured the talents of England internationals Francis Jeffers and Wayne Rooney, where once again the Youth Team progressed to the Youth Cup Final in 2002.

Now, after coming out of retirement to be the chief scout of Bolton, Harvey brought in players like Matthew Taylor and Gary Cahill that have helped the progress of Bolton Wanderers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BBC: It's a pleasure to have you here Colin.

CH: The pleasure is mines.

BBC:Let's skip the history and get straight to the topic. What sort of players are you thinking of bringing in for Bolton?

CH: Well we are hoping to bring in one or two players from our allied club Perth Glory and I'll be going to Perth along with the rest of the team to personally see some of their players myself.

BBC: What sort of players are you trying to bring in from the transfer market though?

CH: Well I really feel that our squad is large enough by itself and so I do not think we'll need any more additions until the January transfer market. I want to give time to some of our new signings like Johan Elmander, who we definitely have high hopes for and Danny lalalalau who we hope can form a great partnership with Gary (Cahill).

Our bench are a bit weak though and I feel that we can use some firepower from the bench , I'll look at strikers who have proven that they can play in the Premier League. However if Ricardo Vaz Te can improve at the rate he is doing right now he might be able to fill in that spot for us so overall, I am pretty happy with the squad we have.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BBC: So will there be any departures then?

CH: Most definitely, like I said before, our squad is large enough by itself and for new players to come, players in our team will have to go. However, we do not necessarily have to sell them as we can always loan some out.

BBC: Who do you have in mind currently that should be avaliable for loan?

CH: Young players, definitely. Players like Fojut, James Sinclair and even Ricardo Vaz Te can go out on loan. It does no harm for them to get some experience in playing real matches.

BBC: Thank you for your time Colin.

CH: Thank you.
