Crainey, Pollitt and now Holt.

We’ve already got Boyce – we might as well buy Kevin Davies too!

Aren’t there any good young players coming through?

He’s older than Crainey!

But not as old as Pollitt.

Meanwhile, Wigan are preparing for life without the Spanish boss as new manager Owen Coyle is signing former Blackpool left-back Stephen Crainey on a free.

Lots of questions, I know, but how long will Al Habsi be out for? Has Coyle seen Nicholls play?

We do want to get off to a good start, but do we really need to buy a replacement?

Couldn’t we get an experienced keeper on loan for the period – Robinson, for example, or Rob Green or perhaps Reina or Brad Jones?

And yes, I do know, they have all made mistakes!

There are rumours that West Brom are interested in Kone and Di Santo. I thought that they struck up a good partnership.

Di Santo does play with Messi – in the Argentina national team.

Gomez was born in Barcelona and signed for them as a youth player. He played for Martinez at Swansea before signing for Wigan.

The Independent Friday 17 May

Monday’s post-match press conference was not the first occasion on which Poyet had gone public on the fact that Brighton’s playing budget was in the bottom half of Championship payrolls. However, although the relative shortage of cash at Brighton was cited in reports of his interest in the Reading job following the dismissal of Brian McDermott in March, The Independent understands that Poyet has also been dissatisfied with other aspects of the belt-tightening at the club in preparation for Financial Fair Play rules that come into effect next season. He is believed to have told the players at a meeting on Tuesday that he could give no guarantees about his future and would not be compiling the retained list, which was released today.

That depends on the formation that you want to play, and on the formation of your opponents too. If there isn’t an opposing winger, what is the purpose of a full back?
