          Can’t understand this club. Why did we get rid of Dicko and now we are signing a striker with no pace. Surely we would have been in a better position with him still here.

              That might have something to do with him never actally playing for us ……. simliar to Riera and Delort

              do you go actually go to games ???

                  Delort will be banging them in soon enough, Dicko is and Riera thought good enough to play up front on his own against Barcelona of all teams in the best league in the world.

                  Only good enough for a bit int Latics reserves though eh? Says more about our management and backroom teams to me and them not having a clue, possibly only playing their favourites.

                    Will you stop banging on about Delort!

                    Yes, he will be scoring goals again – back in the French second division because he wasn’t good enough to make it over here.

                    There hasn’t exactly been a clamour of clubs looking to sign him from us has there?
                    I’m taking it that you have extremely poor eyesight otherwise you’ll have seen how poor Delort has been.

                    He’s started or come on as a sub in 11 games, and not once have I thought he showed anything that might suggest he’ll turn out to be a good signing. He looked, cocky, greedy and too lightweight – in my opinion, obviously, but I’m not a football genius or gifted judge of potential – unlike yourself.

                    Dicko was deemed not good enough by Martinez, Coyle and Rosler. So all three of them were clueless?

                    Dean Saunders didn’t rate him Wolves first time round and only used him a handful of times as a sub. Also for a majority of his time at Blackpool he was used as a sub by Holloway.

                    Hardly glowing references, but well done to him for scoring goals so many at Wolves. That’s the way it goes sometimes. A bit like Ellington with us compared to when he went to West Brom.

                    And so what if Riera played up front on his own against Barcelona. Deportivo are 14th in La Liga – so they’re currently on a par with the likes of Sunderland, Crystal Palace or West Brom. Adrian Lopez and Albert Crusat both played regularly in La Liga – and they were roaring successes at Wigan weren’t they?

                    (Incidentally, weren’t you criticising Wigan for playing Riera up front by himself – despite him having played as a lone striker for most of his career?)

                    And as for that comment about Wigan managers only playing their favourites…..

                    You do realise it’s not an under 9s team don’t you? The manager isn’t there to give everyone a game so they keep turning up on Sunday mornings. Of course they play their favourites. They do whatever they think is necessary to bring out the best in their squad – even it means dropping a technically excellent player on the basis that his attitude or personality is disruptive. That’s the way it works.

                        That is a fair point you make CW. Didn’t see much of him but seem to remember him playing in the last game of the season at home (can’t remember who against) and thought he looked half decent, he had pace and knew how to find space.
                        Thought it was premature us getting rid of him considering scoring goals was a problem for us at that time.

                        This Leon Clarke has had a lot of clubs, hope he isn’t a bit troublesome.. His goal scoring record doesn’t look too bad and he likes to score on his debut. Let’s hope he does for us

                        That could be explained by the fact most all clubs that may have been possibly in the market for him know that because of the number of clubs he has played for this season he cannot play for anyone else other than us or his old club tours.

                          Troublesome? Bust-up with Di Canio while at Swindon and then kicked out of the club. Maybe it isn’t clear who the troublemaker was in that case.

                          Looking at his CV he doesn’t appear to be a saint, but as we’ve only got him on loan for a few months he should have something to prove and we may benefit.

                            Idiot?

                            Sammy, please don’t get all big and brave behind a keyboard because we rarely agree. I can’t recall calling you any names or suchlike.

                            It says more about you than me and to be honest I’ve got hands like spades not a mouth like a bucket.

                            As for Delort not being bombarded with offers Loudmouthblue has it spot on and it negates your argument Standish. I merely use Delort amongst others as an example of our failings in utilising goalscorers to the best of their ability.

                            As I’ve stated previously, I hope they don’t do that with our 5ft 7″ new striker and the journeyman Clarke.

                            I can’t see how this factual argument, can bring along such a rant disagreeing with it.

                            Fair point. I forgot about that.

                            I stand by the rest of my post though.
