Scored a Hat-Trick for Swansea during mid week…How come he didn’t do that for us?
Clue: He hardly ever played.
Scored a Hat-Trick for Swansea during mid week…How come he didn’t do that for us?This post is so stupid I don’t know where to begin. What a ridiculous question.
To name a couple he didn’t have a lot of chances at Wigan and he is also now playing at a lower level :roll:
Never got a chance because our manager insisted on playing his best centre forward on the wing, taking a place he could have had.

He is 21 and made his debut in January 2007.
He is currently playing for his 8th club. He has started just 38 games in nearly 4 years, including one start for us.
Hopefully for the lad Swansea might just be the making of him.He never got a chance because he wasn’t good enough for the PL.

Hopefully for the lad Swansea might just be the making of him.Can’t agree with that. How does anyone know if he’s good enough for the Prem – he’s never been given a chance to prove himself, particularly at Latics.
I don’t blame him for going to Swansea rather than coming back to Latics or staying at Chelsea – at least he’ll get a game there

Have to agree with you there. Had he been given a chance I think he may have been decent. Don’t see why Martinez wouldn’t attempt to sign him when he was so cheap and has that much potential.
He has spent enough time at clubs for each manager to assess whether he was good enough or not.

16 weeks at Plymouth, 8 games
6 weeks at QPR, 8 games
4 weeks at Charlton, 0 games
6 weeks at Palace, 6 games
11 weeks at Birmingham, 8 games
48 weeks at Wigan, 1 game
100+ weeks at Chelsea in between his loans, 1 game.He is still young, and could yet turn out to be okay.
Swansea have taken a chance on him, and for £500,000 its got to be worth a punt at that level.
He needs the games to give him confidence and Martinez probably realised that we were carrying enough players of that ilk , and decided against signing him.Don’t think your facts quite match your point there.
He’s been a young player at Chelsea. Like so many other young English lads at the big clubs he hasn’t had a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere near their first team. He gets shipped out on loan all over the place. Managers there don’t have to “assess if he’s good enough or not” – they just want to fill a gap for a couple of months.
He ends up with us. Our manager decides he wants a right footed centre forward on the left, even though we don’t have a centre forward worthy of the name in his place. He doesn’t get a chance.
Ends up at Swansea with his best years of development time at the top level: ages 18-21 behind him. He’ll never be the player he might have been.
Scott Sinclairs career so far is the epitome of all thats wrong with English football, as shown in the World Cup. If he’d been German, maybe, just maybe he may be an international regular by now.
On the other hand, he may be a terrible trainer with a bad attitude. Or never quite up to it. My point is, we have no idea of that from what we’ve seen at Latics.
