What about putting an offer in for Matt Sparrow at Scunthorpe? He should be chirpy cheep.

FFS you lot are as thick as the falling snow!!

When will you realise who we are. There is no fekin chance of Wigan Athletic attracting “proven premiership players” at the current time.

Firstly, we couldn’t match their current wages and secondly would they really want to come to a team just above the bottom 3.

Just look at the “better quality ” players we’ve attracted so far:-

1) Emile Heskey -was stuck at a championship side, not scoring and looking overweight and passed his best. were you one of the fans who couldn’t believe we had bought this donkey at the time. Wigan Athletic did wonders for him.

2) Lee Cattermole – up to his neck in all kinds of off the field trouble and nobody wanted to touch him with a barge pole at the time we got him. Great player but limited ability. Good deal done eventually for us and Sunderland. We may have not seen Diame or Thomas getting their chance if he’d stayed and I think next season these two will be awesome.

3) Mario Melchiot – Looked to be past his best at the time we got him. Had a few run ins with his manager at Birmingham at the time, was a gamble but one thats been worth taking. However, time for him to move back to the championship now, legs have gone!!.

4) Charles N’Zogbia – totally out of form at Newcastle, publicly ridiculed by his then manager Joe Kinear. Looked for all the world a player with loads of ability but king of the sulks. Again Wigan Athletic have done wonders for him and now he is doing wonders for us.

5) Chris Kirkland – the gamble of them all. Mr “Treatment Room” had shown himself to be world class whilst at Coventetry then liverpool but again, which other premiership club would have taken a gamble on him at the time. Yet to convince me he is our future with erratic form and constant injury problems.

There may be others I’ve missed, but this is about as good as it gets for Wigan Athletic for now. Who do you think we can get, a player that is playing regular in the prem for another club?.

Let’s get back into the real world guys and hope that the likes of Matty Fryatt can come in and take the step up to the prem. It’s as much about having a bit of luck as well as the ability.
The boy Fletcher at Burnley looks like he may have found his feet early and I bet the Burnley fans were moaning like fek when Coyle brought him in from struggling Hibs.

:roll:

Really wish that we hadnt ‘gambled’ on Kirkland, He’s poor. Have to agree with what Fatfan says about N’zogbia and Cattermole though, but then again they were playing for prem clubs and NOT championship, Heskey wasn’t that much of a good gamble, not even that good to be fair.

Kirkland’s form is a bit off at the moment (i think he played his best under Nigel Spink) but he has saved us on a number of occasions. Quality signing but maybe time for a change.

For Christ’s sake!
