Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony has dismissed reports claiming Wigan have made an offer for Craig Mackail-Smith.
this is the problem wigan mod. now that villa are coming in for al habsi it will start a bidding war when what we shouild have done is sign him as soon as the deal was ready to be done...
please call me wigan and this bidding war i dont think will happen because villa need some big names not al-habsi
maybe villa do need some big names but to us the latics fathfull al hasbi is a big name that is worth 4 or 5 mill do you agree wigan...
well i whould like it to come down abit remember he isnt even first choice there and jussi has just signed an extention on his contract for anouther 2 years i actually dont care if DW is haggling there is outher keepers out there
I've just heard (Via the mirror) Mcleish is wanting Ben Foster- surely if that deal goes through Al-Habsi will prefer Wigan to being 2nd choice elsewhere?
good shout there i think we should get the outher one of these to because foster is really good and wants PL football if aston villa get Al-habsi
hi wigan according to the local wigan rag villa are now the club to sign zogbia and the bid couild take place in the next few days and that thay may be wiling to pay around 9 mill for his service`s so if that price is true then that is the starting line for the other clubs to start there bidding. but realy i hope he stays with us you can always dream can`t you...
ye but i`m not sure were wright-phillips wouild fit in cos he`s a wide man is not what we need we realy is a out and out goal scorer and i don`t think wright-phillips is that. but on another story i herd that scott parker as bean signed to a foreign club because WestHam want to get there wage bill down but parker says is family are settled in this country and don`t realy whant to move pluss i think parker is on 70 grand a week so if whelan is willing to pay that kind of money then he couild do a job for us...
£3m for Wright Phillips, that's cheap, him playing at Wigan would be just great, but interesting to see how much wages he wants if this does actually happen
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan says that Latics may be forced to sell midfielder Charles N'Zogbia, who only has one year left to run on his contract at the DW Stadium, with Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Sunderland all interested.
ye the reason he may be forced to sell n`zogbia is because he can leave for free and he wants to cash in on him while he can...
