    Sounds like we are really going for it. Not only trawling the lower leagues of continental Europe but now League One!

    I agree - we should put a bid in for that Sterling fella at liverpool. And Ozil at Arsenal isn't a regular either

    I am not entirely sure what people are expecting. We look like we are about to sign a couple of defenders from Sporting Lisbon and Levante - both top flight teams in their respective countries.

    We are also rumoured to be looking at a guy from Plymouth - 21 year old centre half who has played 146 times for him team and is their captain (so you would think he has a bit about him

    Or Jed Wallace at Portsmouth who has been very highly rated and again fits the type of player we are linking ourselves with.

    Finally there is talk of a striker from "Division one"

    And all for a rumoured outlay of around £3m

    Damn you Roland and your investment-with-a-view-to-snapping-up-some-young-talent-and-making-us-competitive-again. It's just not good enough

    *removes tongue firmly planted in cheek*

    Calm down Roland. I'll send you a bunch of flowers!

    I'm hearing from several sources that we are looking to bring in Pote Enschaal - 9 Year old Dutch holding midfielder, currently getting rave reviews playing for Barnet Azzuri U-11s in the South Herts League.

    Sounds illegal.

    Knowing that league though he probably has a full beard and is 6ft 4

    Boro' signing Adam Forshaw from Wigan for around 2.5m
  • Wigan offloading a lot of players which seems odd to me. Maybe just need to get cash in to be able to afford Delorts wages?

    I'm thinking when a rumour comes along that has any substance to it there will be a new thread for it anyway. Can't help myself though

    Wasn't he the really rated Brentford player they got in the summer?

    That's mad they only signed him last transfer window for a reported £4million fee.

    I think Wigan know they are going down so are offloading players now whilst they can still get a decent fee. A lot of their players won't have relegation clauses so their wage bill will be massive in Div 1.

    Roland was watching some Belgian Second Division football at the weekend and saw this goal:

    This fella will be signing on a 6 and a half year deal shortly.

    He hasn't been there five minutes. Wigan must be in deep financial trouble.

    You're probably right, and we think we have problems.

    The alternative is that Wigan are either going for a complete squad makeover, which sounds a massive risk

    Heard a whisper we're interested in André-Pierre Gignac. Six foot striker inthe Yann mould.

    The idea is to make the made up rumours every so slightly believable

    Don't let it get you down buddy. Some people just can't dream big. Sad.

    I agree in that they can't risk going down and their players actually devaluing in regard to transfer value plus those players maybe remaining on high wages. It looks like that if they get a decent offer now they will take it rather than risk losing money. As it is they may not lose money on Forshaw as the fee they paid was probably less than the 4m reported and if they sell for around the same initial fee they paid there will be little or no sell-on fee due to Brentford.
