Neil Ashton writes: ‘Roberto Martinez’s hopes of landing Aidan McGeady have been dealt a crushing blow.
Wigan were convinced the Spartak Moscow winger was on his way to the DW Stadium this morning.
Instead the former Celtic man has had a last minute change of heart and has opted to remain in Russia.
McGeady, 26, had indicated he was ready to return to Britain after nearly three years in Moscow.
The decision leaves Martinez desperately short of options as he looks for an alternative to help save Wigan from the drop.’there’s “70k” reasons per week why he’s stopped in a poor league in russia
Sky Sports understands that Wigan have made a fresh approach for Barnsley’s highly-rated full-back John Stones.
I think he’d be a great signing, personally. And it might still happen, because clubs adopt all kinds of tactics to make sure they give themselves the best chance of getting their man. Martinez may be poo-pooing it to throw other interested clubs of the scent. Until you see something on the official club site, or it is 1 minute past 11 tonight, all bets are still on!! You just never know.
What I would say is that if the club really thought it was goign to happnen and it now isn’t it doesn;t leave them much time to do something else if all their eggs were in that one basket. Still, as I say, you never really know.
Panic ye not, speculate ye not!
So McGeady’s a no go then, way it goes but at least we’re looking at decent targets & willing to spend money, hope we go for Montero now!
The lad Stones has been linked with us for what seems like ages now and so why did we allow Everton to nip in through the back-door and claim him with just hours to go ? If he was such a big target for us then measures should have been taken to make sure that he would sign !
he’s just put on twitter that he dosent want to come to wigan, would rather stay n fight for his place at liverpool.

So far in the January window we have added 3 players on loan, 2 of which you will hardly see in action and bought Espinoza for whom the jury is still out on due to a capricious start to his career here ! One ex player back on loan from Hamburg in the last 2 weeks of the current transfer window ! Panic ye not they say !!
