In all honesty, I think he was the most average player ever to pull on our shirt. Certainly in the Premiership years.
I don’t think any ‘average Joe’ out of the stands could’ve done less or worse, if they were given matching fitness levels. Seriously. I’ve thought that for a while. He was pinching money, here.

TBH I can think of alot worse ABL.
Before any of them joined the Latics Thomas was widely thought of as the most talented player out of Himself, Figs and Palacios also being being captain of the Honduras national team.
While the latter two went on to play regularly for their respective teams I dont think Thomas ever really got the chance to do well under Roberto.
I always saw him as an engine room holding midfielder in a standard 4-4-2 and would probably do a good job for the likes of Bruce.

Only Kapo, King and Scotland were given a chance out of that lot, But for me Thomas is worse by a long, long way

Webster made his Wigan debut in a league match in a 4–0 win against Manchester City, as a second half substitute for Fitz Hall, on 21 October 2006. He went on to start the next three matches but found the switch to the English Premier League difficult. His time with Wigan was short-lived and, after just four appearances, he was deemed surplus to requirements.
Somebody has to fill in for Donners while he is on his holidays
Was he so forgetable that no one mentions our swedish wonder boy, Andreas Johansson? Apart from his abilty to control the ball with his chest, I marvelled at every occasion I saw him. How did anyone think he was up to it?
I have to concede that he did actaully score some goals, which differentiates him from some of the aforementioned gentlemen. But utterly crap!

I thought about him but remembered when he got played as a lone striker due to injuries and scored.
Makes him more succesful than the majority of strikers bought over the PL years.
When he joined the club didnt he come on as a sub once and then get nowhere near the team for almost a year?
Bit strange considering he was hyped up by alot to be a very good signing, maybe there was a story behind it…
What about the Norwegian midfielder we took on (can’t remember if it was a loan) who Gamst-Pedersen tried to pursuade to join Blackburn instead of Latics.
I seem to recall he made one appearance against Chelsea and did a back pass from the half way line to Pollit, which was intercepted by a chelsea player who scored.
I don’t think he made another appearance.
Whjat was his name?
Keeping to the Scandinavian theme, there was also Andreas Granqvist.

Kristofer Haested?
Andreas Granqvist has apparently gone on to become a really good defender.
I think Newcastle were linked with him recently…
Didnt exactly shine for us under Chris Hutchings but then again who did :(
