Teasy

How? because ssn reported this bollocks story (which i believe has some amount of truth to it) we're cunts? How can it be a bollocks story if there's truth in it?

Well if Taylor is the only one coming in are you still going to be excited over that? I predict a big no.

Zoggy just talked on Setanta. Signed 3,5 years contract. He's glad to be at Wigan... And glad when he heard Wigen wanted him.. They must be the big club he was looking for all along Maybe he can help them win there first ever major trophy mackems.gif

That's some huge optimism you've got there.

Or David Craig asked them about the story, which is actually what he said as far as I remember.

I think the full one is quite good.

Martins swap is bollocks according to Newcastle

That rumoured offer was meant to be made yesterday, Ashley's comment was made today, so no.

Is this really going to be the first time we end up in profit from a transfer window under Ashley? There'd be hell on if that happens. Then again they can't just spend for the sake of it.

Deadline extended.. with conditions. Basically personal terms and medical can be done after the deadline as long as both clubs tell the league they've agreed a deal in principle but that the weather has caused problems getting the player there in time.

I suppose a lot of transfers are like a game of chicken and deadline day is like the last second you have to steer away before impact.

dcmk He didn't play zog because we were a better team without him. Obviously not because of lack of ability, but because the lads not right in the head. I just don't see how we're going to miss a player who was last good in 2007. I haven't seen a lot of Nolan, but I thought he had a good debut in a very difficult game yesterday and seriously doubt he's not better then Butt or Geremi so for £4 million he's improved us. I haven't read any Wigan forums, I won't judge him on that, I'll judge him when he plays for us. I'm expecting a average player with a decent free kick who can do a solid job at right back or right side of midfield, we've paid very little for him afterall.

How have they performed better?

Would be a good buy, swap for Duff? would be a hell of a buy, have wanted us to sign him for over a year But some people here were saying he was a hell of a buy for the Spuds. Back then I questioned why he was being sold if he was so good with so much potential. Same question now, why is he being sold off again less then a season later if he's such a great buy? because different managers have different opinions of players and because clubs are at different levels and need different positions filled? Well yeah obviously but that doesn't explain why this lad with so much ability keeps getting passed down the line.

You think that based on what? Check my past posts, he's worth playing ahead of Duff but other then that I don't rate him very highly, haven't for a while. He didn't even play in those games! He made a few sub apearances and wasn't even on the bench for the rest of them. Oh and yes I mentioned the players brought in, re-read my last couple of posts.

Most threatening player?, when? Yes he has talent but that means fuck all if its very VERY rarely used. He's done nowt for us this season, just like last season. As for our two most threatening players, Jonas and Martins, N'Zog isn't even on the list overall because he's only threatening once every 10 games. Since when has Taylor not had a good game this year like? I've seen two myself, both against us. No idea about Nolan but I doubt that's the case as well. Zog on the other hand.. well he might just qualify has having a single good game in the last yeat, perhaps..

Selling our best players?.. Zog? He's one of the most under achieving player we've had for a long time. When was the last time Zog had a good game?, I really can't remember. I've just breathed a sigh of relief when I heard he's having his medical, we get a player who'll be much more useful to us plus £6 million, Wigan have been mugged! Can't argue Given was one of our best, but considering we have Harper the blow is minimal at most. Plus he handed in a transfer request so there's nothing we could do. IMO the transfers so far (Given\Zog out and Nolan\Taylor in) have made us a bit stronger already, with £10 million created from those transfers as well. Now I just hope we use that money and a bit extra to strengthen further.

So what the fuck have the Spuds spent now and what have they recouped??

I'd be fairly confident of getting something from this game if Jonas was available, but without him I'm struggling to see how we'll cause then any problems. Martins needs to be fit for this one!

Think the moaning little pratt has realised he's boxed himself into a corner and really has to sign for Wigan now, so I can't see that being a problem.

He handed in a transfer request because Harper got the smallest of runs in the team ahead of him a few years back. He bitched and moaned about wanting to leave through his lawyer. He's obviously made it clear to Man City that he'll put as much pressure as neccesary on use to allow him to leave in January. Hence Man City's insulting offers and the reported pittance we've ended up getting for him. He's been a model pro for the most part but he's let himself and us down recently IMO and frankly I don't wish him well.

Butt was s**** again, didn't Nolan hit one off the line? Butt was much better than Nolan, and that's coming from someone who thinks Butt is 10 yrs past his sell by date. both were ok. no major balls ups and the most 50-50s i've seen us win in a while. lacking in creativity which i hope nolan will make up for with forward movement when we have forwards. today twice nolan got a head of the ball. how often have our central midfielders done that the last couple of years ? What about the awful back pass that let Chopra in for what could and should have been the winning goal for Sunderland? Butt had one of his better game, but he was still a liability at times.

Yep.

If you constantly push the other team back and worry them you're a threat yes? Jonas was our biggest threat all game and our only real outlet. He took the pressure off us and put it on them, something nobody else could manage to do.
