Commentator has just said Granqvist will be familiar to Wigan fans.
Do you know – I remember NOTHING about him. A vague stirring in the back of my memory, but pretty well nothing.
Come on someone remind me of something he did. I now know he played 14 times in 2007/2008, but other than that I do not remember anything at all about him. Was he good, bad, indifferent, accident prone, a liability, unfulfilled potential… or what? He is one of those blanks that we have about players. I suppose playing alongside Titus always deflected the attention from him, but really!!
Please help!
Paul Jewell brought him in on loan in 06/07 along with that other Swedish fella (Halstad or somet) who had a mare in a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea that season.
Can’t ever remember Jewell playing him & he let him & the other guy go back to their parent club
Chris Hutchings however brought him back on a permanent deal when he took over & I think he started that season as first choice.
personally I thought he was awful – as others have said he was slow, cumbersome & didn’t seem to have any awareness.
He had an absolute stinker in Steve Bruce’s 2nd game in charge away at Bolton when we lost 4-1, Bruce dropped him, put Scharner back at centre half & I don’t think he ever played him again before selling him for £600k the next summer
Don’t think he was any good myself but he was highly rated at whatever Dutch club (was it Groningen?) he left Latics for & I remember an article saying some top flight clubs in England were looking at him, including Latics, but he went to Genoa
Is heavily rumoured to be on AC Milan’s hitlist this summer & this seems to have been confirmed by an AC Milan directorI only Abba brief recollection of him, but seem to recall that he was an afjordable centre back with unfulfilled potential.
