I’m really surprised by this one to be honest. From things that both Bobby & Scharner said at the time, I got the impression that the 2 of em didn’t part that amicably.
Scharner was never backward in coming forward to tell the world that Bobby wasn’t using him correctly & I’m pretty sure that even Roberto “I never criticise my players in public” Martinez grumbled about his attitude not being right.
I’m also surprised that Scharner wants to come back & that Hamburg are willing to let him as I was under the impression that he was doing okay at Hamburg
Maybe I’m wrong on both counts
That said, I’d have him back as a centre half in an instant
PAUL SCHARNER WOAAHHH PAUL SCHARNER WOOAHHH HE CAME FROM AUSTRIA NOW HES A WIGANER!
Martinez targets Scharner deal
The Austria international was a cult hero at Athletic between 2006 and 2010 before he joined West Brom and then Bundesliga side Hamburg.
Martinez has lost centre-back Ivan Ramis to injury for the season and wants to bring in Scharner as a replacement.
“Over the next 48 hours I am hoping to bring one or two players in and Paul is one of them,” Martinez said.
“We had the injury to Ivan Ramis, his season is over and we are very short at the back. Antolin Alcaraz is not back yet, so I am trying to bring some cover in at centre-half.
“Paul could be a perfect replacement because he knows the football club and the Premier League.
“He is someone who could fit in at centre-half and with the way we play.
“The fans would welcome him with open arms and it is something that I am hoping to have positive news on over the next 48 hours.”
