Ex players

Has it occurred to anybody how many of our ex superstars seem to crash and burn once they leave our club? Many have looked for the big move away from little Wigan only to fall on their fat wallets. How many have actually had real success after leaving us for pastures new? Lee McCulloch, Baines, Valencia and Palacios spring to mind but what about the rest?

The Duke, Went to West Brom under Robson and never got a look in career all but over

Jason Roberts, Big move to Blackburn hardly been a big success now allowed to leave

Chimbonda, big headed pranny has had more moves than Pickfords since going

Emile Heskey, recalled to England squad after starring for the Latics got himself another big move to a massive club gone downhill ever since

Jimmy Bullard, injury unfortunately halted his career now Hull cant get rid of him quick enough

Paul Sharner, wanted away since signing but never got his dream move now playing for who?

Lee Cattermole, hasnt really kicked on as expected a few injuries aint helped and at a club who wont think twice about replacing him if needed

Titus Bramble, i fear for Titus if he makes a few howlers and could see Sunderland in the market for a centre half in January

Others have also come and gone and although we as Wigan Athletic fans do moan a lot I think we actually tolerate a lot from players and it seems to make them comfy and happy at the club until some agents put ideas in their inflated heads. Dave Whelan has stated today that Charles N,Zogbia is very happy here and loves playing for the Latics. So if your listening Charlie boy my message to you and others looking to depart this wonderful club is this “the grass is not always greener on the other side and you could follow others who have left us and find yourself going backwards”
