Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[RussellC]

Dempsey has already rejoined Fulham.

meant dembele . sorry

Have a look at the Birmingham Mail's online picture and biog of Dembele. Sports journalism at it's absolute worst.

[Legion]

Grant Holt wherever you may be,
Greggs, Maccy D's or the KFC,
If you keep us up with assists or goals,
We'll pay your wages in sausage rolls.


winner

 

Legion will put that up on Facebook

Damn right!

[walsall villain]

with these wages , I dont know whos on what

but I think sometimes when you add the wages of a Helenius , Bowery , Holt etc etc , we might have well got some one in on better wages who is quality , who will actually play and  provide us with something , not 5 minute players off the bench.

Logical but I bet the thinking is get one player on decent wages and everybody will want a pay increase. Been said many times but I am sure we could stump up the transfer fee for a better player but won't pay premiership going rates.

We sign Holt.

Hull sign Jelavic and Long.

We aren't even competing with Hull City anymore.

Lerner, Faulkener & Lambert, go now please.

Strange logic. Do Hull already have the likes of Gabby and Benteke playing up front for them?

That would be the Benteke that has scored 1 goal since September and Gabby who has scored 3 all season.

Looking around at some of the Wigan sites, they seem to find it hilarious and are truly amazed that we have taken Holt on loan.

I'll give him a chance, just on the basis that he might be good around the dressing room. It is definitely not for his agility and pace!

A £28k a week cheerleader and inspirational talker? We might aswell have signed Paul McKenna and tried to get him to make them believe they can pass and control a football.

Jelavic and Long have scored 5 goals between them all season, and both of Jelavic's were against QPR in the FA Cup. You know who 2 of Long's were against...

If only there was some reason why Benteke hasn't scored much since September...

[mr underhill]

probably a recurring nightmare that involved some fat bloke from East Anglia rocking up and nicking his spot in the showers

So you'd prefer Long to Benteke?

[A|C]

I'm pretty certain Lambert doesn't believe in midfield, is it because all we do is hoof the ball to the front totally bypassing everyone in the middle?  I can't dee the logic in the purchase of another striker when it is glaringly obvious its a midfielder and to a lesser extent a centre back.

He'd have his work cut out with KEA

[Chris Jameson]

The problem with Holt is he's no Jozy Altidore.

I'd rath...
I'd rathe....
I'd rather haaaaaaa...
I'd rather have Al....

Shit, no, I can't say it.

[john e]

We are signing Oliver Hardy on 26k a week to play up front
And people are trying to tell me it isn't so bad ?

[dicedlam]

I know he is on 28k a week, but I'm sure Faulkner would of demonstrated his remarkable business acumen and cut a deal with Wigan to still contribute to his wages?

FFS, We have been screwed enough times for it over the years.

he would of done that..surely?
