Megson rules out Denilson move

Bolton manager Gary Megson insists former Brazil international Denilson will not be handed a permanent deal by the Trotters.

Denilson has been training with Bolton in a hope to sign a contract with the club.

“It wasn’t a trial, because that is a bit demeaning for a player of that class,” said Megson.

“We got a call saying ‘would we like to have a look at him?’. He wasn’t fit, but his class and quality was there for all to see.

“But there are other parts of his game that we didn’t feel we would be able to use to our advantage and would be able to complement everyone else.

“We have spoken with his people and said we won’t be going any further.

“He is a fantastic person and didn’t come here as a ‘big time Charlie’.

“He mixed in with everyone else – and if anyone rang me up about giving him a reference he’d get nothing but positives.”
