Official on the latics site – Sammon has gone to Derby
http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk/news/article/12-08-20-sammon-joins-derby-317742.aspx
I for one would have liked to have seen how he’d have fared since we switched to 3-4-3. Yesterday we put a hell of a lot of crosses into the box that Di Santo wasn’t latching onto.
Kone with his power seemed to have a lot more success, so I would have liked to have given him that chance.
Will never forget than West Ham game though
Didnt he miss a sitter against Man Sh*tty on his debut?
Probably remember the West Ham gave for Zog more than anyone.
Good luck to you conner mcloud[/quote]
I thought he did well there his shot skimmed just wide of the post…
Was he so forgetable that no one mentions our swedish wonder boy, Andreas Johansson? Apart from his abilty to control the ball with his chest, I marvelled at every occasion I saw him. How did anyone think he was up to it?
I have to concede that he did actaully score some goals, which differentiates him from some of the aforementioned gentlemen. But utterly crap!I thought about him but remembered when he got played as a lone striker due to injuries and scored.
Makes him more succesful than the majority of strikers bought over the PL years.
When he joined the club didnt he come on as a sub once and then get nowhere near the team for almost a year?
Bit strange considering he was hyped up by alot to be a very good signing, maybe there was a story behind it…
1) Jason Koumas – paid too much for him, but I really liked him. Was a bit of a let down but I still liked the man!Think your on your own there mate, Never signed for another club after he left us and would think that he has give up by now.
He did start training with Sheffield Wednesday in April and they obviously have some cash backing them but I dont think anything came of it.
IMO he had talent but was a lazy fecker who thought he was alot better than he was.
Out of that list…..Agahowa-Last heard of, was playing for Kayserispor in Turkey. What did we waste on him? 5 million was it?
Bouaouzan ( never made an appearance? )-Did he not play a L/cup game?
De Ridder-Spent more time flicking his locks, than on the ball.
Connolly-A bit harsh on him. Scored a cracker on his debut.
Folan-I think we could’ve developed him further. Better than Sammon?
Krapo-Useless signing. What was the point?
King-Made up when we signed him. Had too much going on OFF the pitch.
Scotland-2 paces short of being a Premiership player. Caught on ball too much before he could shoot.
Webster-A stupid signing. One of convenience, as Rangers wouldn’t sell direct to Hearts, or vice versa. Allegedly. We were merely the pawn.
Been alot of dross over the years tbh along with the absolute gems we have had the pleasure of watching..
Here is a cost comparison for those players.
No prizes for guessing who signed the most costly ones!
*possible loan fees received
(figures not accurate)In all honesty, I think he was the most average player ever to pull on our shirt. Certainly in the Premiership years.
I don’t think any ‘average Joe’ out of the stands could’ve done less or worse, if they were given matching fitness levels. Seriously. I’ve thought that for a while. He was pinching money, here.
TBH I can think of alot worse ABL.
Before any of them joined the Latics Thomas was widely thought of as the most talented player out of Himself, Figs and Palacios also being being captain of the Honduras national team.
While the latter two went on to play regularly for their respective teams I dont think Thomas ever really got the chance to do well under Roberto.
I always saw him as an engine room holding midfielder in a standard 4-4-2 and would probably do a good job for the likes of Bruce.[/quote]
Just had a skim through past player on the wiki page..
In alphabetic order:
Agahowa
Bouaouzan ( never made an appearance? )
De Ridder
Connolly
Folan
Krapo
King
Scotland
WebsterIts a dull day in the office…[/quote]
Didn’t Webster ony get one game?[/quote]Webster made his Wigan debut in a league match in a 4–0 win against Manchester City, as a second half substitute for Fitz Hall, on 21 October 2006. He went on to start the next three matches but found the switch to the English Premier League difficult. His time with Wigan was short-lived and, after just four appearances, he was deemed surplus to requirements.
Somebody has to fill in for Donners while he is on his holidays

Missed the ] off the end of the video link and think I have took the bottom of the page out….
Sorry… :blush:
Does it have to be good memories?
Misses a sitter at the start of this..
Check the youngish/er opposition GK…
And the state of the pitch for that matter old Arsne would bust his ball sack if his team got beat on that.
Prince Ali! Mighty is he! Ali Al Habsi
Strong as ten regular men, definitely!
He faced the galloping hordes
A hundred bad guys with swords
Who sent those goons to their lords? Why, Prince AliFrom Aladdin.
The postage must cost a bomb on that thing!
Never new Nani was called .. Luis Carlos Almedia Da Cunha.
I can see why he changed it roughly translating as Luis Carlos Almedia Of The Wedge.
You reckon changing it to Nani is an improvement then?[/quote]
Fair point.
and has bags of pace in itfrom where??? non of the back four have pace and cant see much in midfied either more especially when moses goes
not many positives for me we lost at home to a team that were at half pace from the 7th minute i can see a defeat next week as well
goodpost nice try.
a poor attempt at a windup or you can’t count?
either way you look stupid.
