Chelsea, Man Utd target Cahill staying grounded at Bolton

Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill is staying grounded over frenzied transfer talk.

While he might pick up the newspaper and read about becoming an employee of Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter Milan or Liverpool nearly every morning, there isn't a hint of big time attitude about a player who has arguably been the biggest success story seen at the Reebok in the last decade.

"I have heard the speculation so much," he told the Bolton News. "But the only thing that matters is I am contracted to Bolton Wanderers.

"I am enjoying my football here so I might as well as carry on enjoying my football. Everything else is out of my hands.

"When it first used to happen I gave it some thought. But now it goes over my head and I am totally focused on what I am doing. Sometimes the lads have a little wind-up but that's just the set of lads we've got.

"If they are not taking the mickey out of that they are taking it out of something else. It's worked so far this season. But it is a like a Crazy Gang situation. We have plenty of crazy characters.

"And we have enough characters in the dressing room if things are not going well. If something needs to be said it will get said.

"That's the way it should be. It's worked really well for us so far."
