Wanderers are going to have to find some extra, extra large shirts if Ndiwa Lord-Kangana suffers any more setbacks to his professional career.
The powerfully-built young Swede reckons the experience of having the plug pulled on his dream move to the Reebok has helped him grow as a person.
Another setback and Sam Allardyce could have problems of Incredible Hulk proportions on his hands.
He is a big lad is young Kangana, as spectators at the recent Kanu charity game would have seen for themselves.
His appearance alongside Ivan Campo in the Rest of the World defence confirmed that, despite the red tape that scuppered his original move from Djurgaarden on transfer deadline day, he is still destined to become a Wanderer.
Big Sam sees Big Ndiwa as a player in his own image and likeness - a no-nonsense defender with a heart to match his huge frame - and is determined to keep him sweet until he is able to complete the formalities of his transfer in the summer.
Kangana, who was born in the Congo but has lived in Sweden since he was seven, is so smitten with the way he has been treated by Wanderers - he trains with them and travelled with the team to Anfield last week - that he has allayed Allardyce's fears that he might sign for another club in the meantime. "I've been to other clubs but this is the best," he says. "I went to Celtic in Glasgow and that was good but I still like Bolton the best.
"I did all the physical tests and we had a deal but there was a problem with the papers. I'm still very excited about coming here.
"I was disappointed. It was very hard for me because I'm still learning but I feel it made me a bigger person to deal with the next problem that comes along."
