Fernando Alonso is an F1 driver

Brewster would get us into playoff contention, no doubt for me. Unless Tm plays him on the wing.

So Leeds about to sign another Koch. We need a CB and LB this week minimum.

Didnt Smallwood refuse to play for the u23s?

There's no rush. He has got himself into the first team squad and in contention for starts. All he has to do is take his chances much like he has been doing when he gets them. A spot will open up for him if he continues to impress. I really do not see him as a full back though although he has shown he can fill in there. Defensively he is not great even if I agree he is better than Bell. I think he is best suited further up on the left.

I just do not know where he is coming from. Does he think he is the first player in history to get older, not be good enough to make the starting eleven and then told he is surplus to requirements? What exactly does the club owe him for him to be acting this way? Loyalty? He has been paid for the last season for doing fck all. He will continue to get paid for doing fck all until his contract runs out. We are not talking minimum wage here, we are talking upwards of SIXTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK. Let that settle in. 16k a fckin week - some people do not earn that for a whole year of grafting! There is probably some back story to this but it is not a good look to plaster it all over social media. You were good for us once Charlie but you are not up to it anymore, move on. Totally ruined how I think about him now.

Wow seriously? He should know there is no loyalty in football. Not from the players or from clubs. You are either good enough to get in the current team or get a new contract, or you're not. He isnt good enough for what we need anymore. Should we just continue paying you anyway? I guess this is where the row stems from and why he was sent out on loan - told he wouldnt be starting for us anymore and he threw his toys out. As others have mentioned, pretty sure if another club came in for him and paid him even more than we did, he would have been off like a shot. It is just how football works. Now that he is at the tail end of his career and with salary caps looking like they will come into effect, he is just sounding off.

Has to kick on this season or it really could go down as one of our worst value for money transfers of all time - if not the worst.

Karanka has proper connections that are not just a 100 miles away or so.

proper blue and i will buy it every time.

Good one!

I felt that initially too but i doubt it made a difference. His agent wouldn't have been doing his job if he had not made sure that other clubs were notified that Wigan were accepting lower bids.

Yeah, it bites a bit being so close but what is there to moan about here really? Another club came in for him that happens to be a league higher that can offer more money. I do think the Sharpe article didnt help matters - got everyone excited that we are spending money on a defender for the first time this generation.

You've spat on a copper?

The longer it goes on the less chance we have of getting him. How long before other clubs start to sniff around too?

He is more an attacking mid than striker. Think of Dack but with pace. Excellent player and knew it would not be long before he was in the PL. 16 mil up front, 4 mil in add-ons and a 20% sell on clause to boot - good deal for QPR.

He went out on the lash, gave it the big I am in a pub declaring he was a "professional footballer", called a woman a "fat slag", threatened people with a chair and then spat on a policeman before being arrested. One week after being bailed, he was seen in another pub drinking it up and shouting at some women "who wants to get pregnant?". All allegedly of course as read on their forums but if most of that is true - I don't feel for him at all.

Fuck that - i'm blocking Nicko (after a short shrift message). Down to the lad. he either wants to play at a slightly better wage in the Championship (and not really have to relocate) or sit on the bench (at best) on much better wages in the PL.

Surely Sharpe wouldnt be putting that story out without permission from the club? Which would suggest that it is very close? Would be very pissed if we have leaked things too early that clearly states the guy is available even cheaper than before and it has alerted PL clubs.

Wigan had an excellent defensive record and impressive number of clean sheets last season and no Walton (coincidence?) Those are the only stats I care about as we hopefully get a players that was a part of that backline on the cheap.

Knobcracker, Smallwood, Goodwillie - we do like penis-related players.

Not convinced Kaminski is someone we have been chasing really - might have been on a list somewhere but he was bought for 2 mil a season and a half ago. Think him being transfer listed at a cheap price after his cock-kicking exploits sort of fell into our laps at the right time.

True, but fans do get it right sometimes. Jason Lowe

Del is a decent backup/squad player at this level and thats about it I would be extremely surprised if they have him earmarked for the starting eleven. As for Dolan, on the PNE boards the general consensus is that he had the raw ability but usually no end product, is too lightweight and is a head down kind of player.
