This ‘Striker’ argument that is going on has an awful lot of similarities. The fact is, for me, Wigan Athletic as a club have failed drastically in signing the correct strikers for 6 years. Not one has been successful yet when they have moved on to other clubs they have been a roaring success.
So who is to blame?
Which striker that we sold/let go has been a “roaring success” when they moved on to other clubs ?

Dicko, Boselli, Sinclair and Di Santo,
The others that were at the DW were just here for one last pay day or had a bad injury when they moved on.
the last striker of any note to make an dramatic impact was Zaki who strangely ripped up trees for half a season then faded away without trace for the rest of it.I would hardly call Kone or Hugo failures either ( kone 11 goals in 33 and Hugo with several very important goals) it’s just good scouting rather than listening to sales talk from unscrupulous agents usually as the window closes.
Not sure who is to blame for this failure but the questions I would ask particularly for foreign signings would relate to the scouting reports and how often the players concerned were watched because surely that is a must if you are laying out millions of pounds.Didnt the club also ditch the youth policy during the fridge raiders time here ? How much money will that save in the future so the charnock richard site must get going soon to help our future.
We’re Delort and Rierra ever watched and were regular scouting reports received before the outlay of the transfer fees ?
it seems that Mackay has been scouting and even watched some of these players and he seems to be the first manager in some time to be actually going out to watch players himself so it will be interesting to see how these players settle in.Mackay don’t forget has had a reasonably successful management career so this is going to be a very interesting period regardless and I have a feeling he is signing players with a point to prove and i think the transfer business looks good on paper.
It’s a turning point and I for one am looking forward to watching this new look team on Saturday, have a weird feeling that it might just be our day.Who did u expect us to sign we are bottom of the leaguewhat about giving the 5-6 million pounds worth of forwards now on loan a proper chance and not 10 minures here and there ?
You talk like we had no option bar grab anybody to fill a gap .I shit bricks when it came up on sky sports that Roger Johnson had been released.Who did u expect us to sign we are bottom of the league

Someone on this thread said ‘looking good’ I would think there was a word missed out there and would wager it was ‘not’
Just hope I’m wrong and the club have got this right.

The ‘saved’ money is accounted for – and it’s not for buying players with.So, on your second point – I’ll be putting my money on it being the club that have got it right rather than you. No offence.
Prefer our situation rather than that of Stockport County and more so Hereford United and at the end of the day Ramis Tavernier Espinoza Forshaw Riera Delort McManaman Watson Maloney Fraser Fyvie have contributed to our present postion by some inept team performances and god only knows what distruption in the dressing room. Good riddance and good luck to our newcomers and let us all get behind them on Saturday.
