He became a victim of his own hype ! Was a good asset for us though but he did go down hill fairly sharpish upon his exit from WAFC !
Only due to injuries.
When he did play for Fulham he did very well for them from what I remember.
Its amazing how fickle of our fans turn after a couple of defeats.
Di Santo is now the bees knees, Boselli is only good for reserve football and Kone is too lazy.
Give me strength.
Sudworth.
Garswood has only recently posted about putting your topics in the correct section of the message board.
Please will you post questions and bragging about your away travelling in the Away Travel section.
I have flagged your post to be reported to the mods.
Please do not let this happen again.
Sorry Salford, I must have been typing my post at the same time as you (mine was interrupted by an unexpected brief meeting). There is no other sinister reason for them being almost word for word.I thought it was common sense apparently not…
Hopefully Roberto will see our outstanding ability to differenciate between a deep lying midfielder, a winger and a kid and draft us immediately into his back room staff.
Obviously it would be a sad day for me to leave the emotionally rewarding world of insolvency but a move I beleive I could come to terms with given time….
I saw Fyvie play a few weeks ago for the reserves (sorry, Development Squad).
Have to say there was nothing special. Nothing wrong – I just wouldn’t be leaping up and down insisting he has a first team place.
So RM fcuked up buying him then ? If Watson was not used hardly if at all in the great escape of last season then I am baffled as to why he is used now, especially with the evidence thus far that he is way below the standard of the Prem ![/quote]
Calm down dear!!
Fyvie is deffo one for the future I dont think anyone expected him to feature much this season…
Roberto is not exactly persisting with Watson its a case of McArthur isn’t fit and Watson is next in line and rightly so!
I don’t think Jones is anywhere near as good as Watson and they imo are the only two players we have capable of playing that role.[/quote]
I would call that a weak squad then ! :whistle:[/quote]
3 players with bags of premier league experience all for one specific position?
IMO this is the strongest and most competitive squad we have had during my time supporting latics and if McCarthy gets injured he will be far more difficult to replace now Diame has gone than Mcarthur has been.

Do you go angling?> If so what do you think about touch ledgering?
PS are you me?
Is this directed at me? Sorry pal, I have no idea what you’re on about.[/quote]
They say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness…
Just seen the highlights on Skysports news.
Boselli’s chip was fantastic.
And if Ramis doesnt work out in defence he might have a chance as a forward with strikes like that :side:
Saw Cattermole’s red card too , he’s only two cards off the record 8 league red cards.
I was gutted when he left but nowadays I cant help but think he is just Roy Keane without the ability.
Taking into account he thinks its smart to run up a street kicking off car mirrors I think we may have dodged a bullet.
WELL DONE ROBERTO !!! goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost goodpost
The managers prerogative doesn’t necessarily mean that a player is of a certain standard, it is merely just an opinion ! Gomez has put in a couple of decent shifts so far this season but IMO he is no World beater ! Watson on the other hand gives me cause for concern and it beggars belief that he gets on the team sheet let alone the starting 11 !!What would you do differently?
He does take the odd touch or two too many, but I personally think he could be a decent player but in a better team where the players around him offer more options and create more space for him.
Surprise, surprise, I disagree with that bit!!
If he was capable of playing for a “better” side then he would be doing. He’s not a spring chicken & he’s not exactly unknown if managers of better sides thought he was capable of doing what you say then they’d have signed him in my opinion
I do think he’s a useful squad player for Latics to have & I do think he gets unwarranted stick off some but that’s about it[/quote]No offence Tylders but I would recommend your opinion on Gomez is taken with a pinch of salt as you would have considered him a winger until late last season ;)
Completely agree with that Griff.
I think football is rife with Pundits, Journalists and Fans who seem to say things because they heard them elsewhere or just for the sake of being heard.
One thing that makes my blood boil is reading some pap article on Newsnow and it being factually wrong!
Manchester Evening News had our highest rated player for the Fulham game as Watson with a 7!!! What game were they watching?
I think its a case of Little Wigan nobody cares when it comes to journalism but our own “fans” have no excuse.
I divide our fans into 2 categories.
Category A : Well reasoned fans who want the team to do well but are more than aware of where we come from and even just surving each season by the skin of our teeth should be something to be thankful for!
Category B : Unreasonable fans who think we by right should be competing with teams that make more selling shirts than we have in gross income and have probably only been supporting Wigan post premiership promotion.
I know which category will still be there if we start plummeting down the leagues.
If you had said something along the lines of Di Santo out Boselli in before the game I would have agreed with you Hindley…
But in hindsight we didnt make enough of our crosses or corners to utilise the lad properly.
Its a bit of a strange one as the front three seem switch positions a lot this season but I think that works best when Di Santo is in the team and can move into different spaces to receive the ball as our target man
In hindsight I may have played Mcmanaman and Crusat either side of Kone but unfortunately Martinez does not have that luxury :(
