cup winners

And I wonder, who out those still under contract have “get me out of here !” clauses now were down ?

Kone ?,

I’m just preying to God it’s Boselli !, If he does I bet he scribbles it out.

You can bet Martinez’s meeting next Monday is about one thing and one thing only “Next season’s budget”.
With so many players either out of contract or ready to jump ship to bigger and better things we could need anything up to 12 players.

If the money ain’t there then why should Martinez stop ?. Whelan need’s to take that one last big gamble and put the money down and feck to budgets but my head say’s he won’t.
And if he doesn’t and Martinez does go ? God help the next guy, he’ll have weeks to rebuild a side unless he’s already here.

So on that note Graeme Jones would probably be Whelan’s choice, just for the simple reason he know’s the club and right now we don’t have time to rebuild. But if things were to totally change then Jamie Carragher, nevermind stats and coaching till the cows come home , there’s alot to be said about player respect within the game and her might stop us leaking goals for fun.

Looks like were back on Manager the merry go round for another week as Martinez confirms he will reach a decision next Monday.

Must have seen the Mourinho situation on SKY SPORTS NEWS and faxed over his CV.

Barcelona type, “play it from the back” football comes at a cost, you must be prepared to concede goals. Barcelona very rarely keep clean sheets but our 75 goals against is boardering on suicidal !!.

You can’t blame the FA cup on the way we played against an out of form Swansea side + without Michu and a 10 man QPR.

I would have sooner took a chance on a fit Golobart against Swansea over a hip injured and couldn’t run Caldwell, crazy.

What Whelan needs to do regardless who’s manager come the 3rd of August is to stand firm on the sale of players and only sell when daft money appears on the table.
We have a couple of players I’m sure that other managers and possibly Martinez would love to take with him if he does decide to leave i.e. McCarthy, MacManaman, Maloney and its up to Whelan to fend them off.

It takes a a particular type of player to get out of the championship, different from the type of player you need to stay in the Prem , horses for courses.

Steve “mynosekeepschangingshape” Bruce has just cleared 12 out to make room. We could be potentially looking at 12-15 players coming in !, Ijust hope it’s none of them ffs.

this is going to be a tough tough season for whoever takes the job on.

Lukaku – 20 yrs of age, on loan, 32 League appearances, 14 goals
7 assists,

Henriquez 19 yrs of age, on loan 4 league appearances, 1 goal 0 assists.

And even when Kone was away in Jan he still wasn’t used. So who do you blame for that ?

The way we used our 2 loan players throughout the season will no doubt make it even harder next season to get loan players in at a time we will need them the most. The bigger clubs will think twice before sending out any of their young talent to Wigan.
The Idea is , loan them out to get experience and on the pitch playing time not bench warm.

Loan players need to be, on par or if not better than the players we already have.This is the only way we will improve our squad or we might as well not bother and just bring through our own talent as we did with MacManaman and the likes of Redmond.
