ikri Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Disappointed, but without knowing why we didn't sign him it's hard to say who is to blame. Did we offer enough money? If no then it's down to Ashley/Llambias being fools Did Hughton value him enough? What if Hughton told Ashley/Llambias that he was only worth £2m (or whatever we bid)? Did we meet the valuation but weren't able to offer him personal terms as good as Wigan? Did he meet Hughton first before deciding that Wigan was a better option? Are we simply less attractive than Wigan at the moment? There's been a lot of turmoil here for the last few seasons, a young player might prefer the stability that Wigan can offer. There are loads of reasons that we might have missed out (though Hughton does appear in a lot of them) so it'll be difficult to ascribe blame without knowing all the ins and outs of the deal.

And bottom line - they are in the premiership NOW - regardless of their current league position/form, he will be playing in the Premiership immediately, and if he does as well as many on here are sure he will, he is in the biggest shop window in the world for the next few months rather than the Championship, and maybe Real Madrid will actually bid for him next time!

tmonkey Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 We'll probably sign him in 8 months time when we're in the Premiership and Wigan are in the Championship. [/bitter] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 So its done he has completed his move. I am gutted They will sell him in 18 months for £7-10million + . Great move Ashley. I really don't think that we've missed out on him because of money. Even if we have then it's understandable, we've just started to reduce costs/wages... wouldn't make sense to start breaking the rules now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Wigan is a better platform for him to develop anyway. We know that, he knows that. Plus they are in PL. No brainer really, unless you have some kind of connection with Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon with the new wage cap we can't match Wigan for wages now then? In 07-08 Wigan's turnover was £43m. We turnover more than that in the Championship.

Ronaldo Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 What's Moses been playing like since he went to Wigan? Haven't really heard anything about him. Sub appearances mostly, looks a bit like N'zogbia without the end product. I'd still take him in an eyeblink though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I doubt he would have got many more games if he came here and people would have been questioning whether he was any better than ranger/suggesting he spends next season on loan elsewhere.
