      All this talk about Moses potentially moving and Diame signing for Wet Spam got me wondering exactly how many of our ex-players truly moved on to bigger clubs and more success vs. just moving for the cash but not really making any progress.
      If recent memory serves me right, very few have gone for the the right reasons or made the right choices. Here’s my starters for ten:

      Got it right:

      Valencia
      Palacios
      Baines
      ‘Arry

      Got it wrong (some much much worse than others)

      Ellington
      Chimbonda
      N’Zogbia
      Scharner
      Cattermole
      Taylor
      Bullard
      Roberts
      De Vos

      If I had to pick the player who flourished the most after leaving the Latics and had a long and highly successful career surely it would have to be Mickey Quinn wouldnt it?.Quinny scored for fun wherever he went whatever league he was in.Joey Hinnigan left to go to Sunderland and was also a success ala Peter Atherton at Coventry.

        If your throwing Cattermole in there you might as well include Bramble un aw.

        PS Palacios is now a bench player with Stoke, bigger and better things? Don’t think so. :lol:

        What was that wingers name who went to Coventry and was never seen again… :dry:

        From Matlock to ManU
        What a journey!

            Think we played Coventry in a cup game and Woods ran um ragged and put himself in shop window. He must have got a bad injury as we never saw him again. :woohoo:

              I’d say your guess is so far from the truth that you may possibly know me – hence the irony.

              It would be very hard to be any more wrong.

                Didn’t he win the Premier League with Utd? I’d call that getting it right.

                By all accounts he did well & then got hit by injuries as he had at Latics until that Donny Page season. somet to do with his groin & an operation on his stomach
                When he was fit again Coventry had new managers & he never got picked again. He says he was told later that was because Latics were due a further payment if he made 2 more appearances & the managers were under orders not to pick him
                He left to go to Shrewsbury & played in the last game of the season against Latics in 1994 when they were crowned champions of div 3 at Gay meadow. Came back to Latics on loan for a bit a season or so later if I remember rightly
