I think he'd be ideal for us and not too expensive. He gets from box to box, scores,takes set pieces well, has an 'edge' to his attitude. I have always rated him so hope this happens
Perhaps on loan with some of his wages being paid but would, as WIWLB says, expect to be behind the bottom end of the Prem teams in any queue to get him.
Does seem the sort of player who would strenghten the first team and not just the squad.
He would be a great signing if we could pull it off. Always thought we should have gone for him with the Parker money.
I wouldn't have thought that he was on massive wages at Wigan and I would have thought that a team in with a shout of going up would be a better option than a team going down.
Wouldn't surprise me if he went to Bolton though, cos of the Megson connection.
is this a possible, or has he actually been declared available?
can't see it tbh, wigan paid £4mil for him in the summer, they'd want at least £3mil surely and with the likes of Sunderland willing to spunk anything it takes to stay up we'd be towards the back of the queue

But, Eyesore, surely Marcus BigBollox is worth £3mil after scoring all those goals?
As already suggested, fair exchange for Houmous.

That would be a fantasic bit of business.....
Swap Marcus for Koumas
JT for Earnshaw
Mcleod for Christiano Ronaldo
what one couldnt happen???

Wouldn't mind the other 2 though.

He'll only cost us his signing on fee then.
i'd say his time with us reduced his transfer value to 500k-1mil
his recent exploits have probably broken us even on what we shelled out - and that's optimistic
Normally these fees are sorted at the beginning of the loan deal, so i would not expect too much for benty, unfortunately.
If the evaluation of Marcus was last August, then the best we can hope for is a £1 mill.
Thats Koumas out of the equasion then - should mean we can afford another couple of players from MK Dons & Crewe.
Still wouldnt want the ****.
