Im finding it hard to understand that we are letting a striker go when we are light up front. Is Uwe close to signing someone?
ditto
BUT in Uwe we trust[/quote]Agreed and even more baffling is why he’s never been given a proper chance to show what he can do. The evidence is there in both his loan spells that he can find the back of the net.
Sometimes a player can do well elsewhere and then come back and still struggle -surprised they didn’t try to use Kevin Doyle as a makeweight-good striker!
We are hearing that Nouha Dicko has agreed a deal to sign for Wolves from Wigan. Sky Sports revealed on Saturday that Dicko was in talks with Wolves after they agreed a fee with Wigan for his services. Dicko watched Wolves’ win over Preston at Molineux on Saturday and he has now agreed personal terms on a two-and-a-half year deal with Wolves. Dicko is set to undergo a medical on Monday before finalising the switch.
The evidence is there in both his loan spells that he can find the back of the net.is it really??
let’s not forget that when he was on loan at a club at Latics current level last season, Blackpool’s manager rarely started him & used him as an impact sub for the last 10 minutes or so & that was why Latics recalled him.
Similarly when he was at Wolves at the back end of the season they played 8 games after he joined. he started 1, was sub in 3, played no part in 4 games & scored 1 goal.
Yes he scored 5 in 5 for Rotherham this season, but that could well be a flash in the pan (that Macheda or whatever his name is got a glut when he first joined Doncaster on loan this season then the goals soon dried up) & it is also in League 1. We’ve all seen enough following latics up through the leagues to know that coz a player can hit a few in League 1 it’s no guarantee that he’ll get them when they step up a division.
At the end of the day, 3 Latics managers (4 if you include Barrow’s brief stint as caretaker) have had the chance to watch him in training & chuck him into the first team regularly & all of em have decided not to – that tells me everything I need to know
It may well be that he goes to Wolves, is a great success, they get promoted & he continues to score goals but as his contract is up in the summer, I’d have a guess that even if Latics were prepared to give him more time & had offered him a new deal that he said he would only sign if he was given first team football & it seems that after having watched him in training Rosler has decided either that a) he isn’t good enough or b) he isn’t ready for teh Championship, so he won’t sign a deal & therefore it is best for Latics that they cash in on him nowIt’s very simple , Powell’s off to Stoke leaving us short so back comes Dicko. Powell has been the difference between us closing in on a play-off place and us been in a relegation dog fight, thank god we had him for the few months we did. I just thank him for helping us and I’m in no doubt he will be a future of a new England team after the world cup.It can’t be that easy. So far, as usual, all of that is totally wrong.
I’ll come back and apologise when Powell turns out for Stoke.
