That's what i love about latics. the constant stream of encouraging news. Whilst I can see the reasoning it is the fact that sometimes football seems to have nothing to do with sport and all to do with money that makes me wonder why i bother. If this source/leak is genuine, couldn't at least he/she have kept their gob shut until after christmas. It is this kind of thing that causes such cynicism and apathy about latics to the non-believers and fallers by the wayside. It p**ses me off that whenever there is cause for cautious optimism with latics there is inevitably some bad news to offset it, or failing that, an "injury crisis"

Rant over bored today. Wil be there with me scarf on Sat

I agree i was gutted when i heard this and i can see myself not bothering to go to some away games if we sell Hughes / Taylor as the club seems to lack any ambition what so ever and this story has just made me fed up, but thought i should let people know what is going on, i was as proud as anyone there on saturday with our comeback but take Hughes and Taylor out of that team and we'd have picked up f all from saturday aswell as several other occasions this season.

I can now confirm that the £400k business was a load of bollocks made up by Alan Hardy as i suspected. Just an attempt to get more money for him, the club are looking for £300k for him so who know we could even end up losing him for less that £300k.

That could negatively effect his wage demands so i cannot see that happening.

Think youre right there, i was just thinking of the Daniel Jones case, Mick McCarthy has told him he doesnt have a future there but didnt want him leaving on a free therefore made him sign a contract or he wasnt going to allow him to go out on loan. Although with Hughesy i dont think its the same. As there is nothing we can do to make him sign for us really due to our position financially.

why would we ask 300k if everybody knows its in his contract? "listen to offers" more likely. Who are all these so called very reliable sources that people quote and why are they so rarely right ?

In his contract the figure was £400k so perhaps nobody is willing to pay this ?

My sources have been pretty much spot on the last few times, e.g Davies to Stockport, O'Grady out on loan and The whole episode regarding Chalmers.

Like i said i hope it isnt true and would love the club to deny this but its from a very reliable source who has no reason to lie about it and no motive for allowing it to be public knowledge.

When teams getting promoted stand to make £4m this season (due to championship tv money i think) we might aswell hold on to our best players and have a go at promotion as we know we are capable after all Hughes didnt cost us anything in the first place and he could also sign a new deal just so we could get cash for him next season instead of him going on a free.

Just been told that Hughes is for sale and were asking for £300k seriously hope this is not true and would love someone from the club to come and deny this. Also think that the "leak" regarding his contract clause could have been by someone inside the club deliberately to try to cash in especially if now we are only asking for £300k, i hope this isn't true but it has come from a very reliable source.

Can i have 3 seats please

Hughes and Taylor will still be as valueble at the end of the season so why not assess the situation then, the way they are both playin currently could even be worth more, £4m is what clubs getting promoted from league stand to make so surely the TTA wouldn't turn that chance down, which is what we would be doing if we sold either of them.

very good

Wherever you may be please dont leave us in January !

I'm good pals with Jonny and i know that he has been to watch latics before.

The character and effort today was first class, great effort by the boys dont think we could have done much better, both their goals extrememly lucky, but then again their keeper gifting us a 2nd.

Been at uni so only been able to listen on the wireless, cant wait to watch it over the weekend with swanny and monty bamboozling them.

Fernando Torres

FC Baghdad would be tasty, doubt the part time brigade would be out in force.

Then again have you ever seen him post anything positive, no scrap that, have you even ever seen him post anything remotely neutral about Oldham?

 

Still think he's a closet bindipper.

I think Chris Taylor is a SICK player. Thats positive.

I've been found out.

He was absolutely awful all his passes went to the opposition and his first touch was harder than his shot, not that he had any shots as he was sluggish and second best to everything. The biggest cheer of the night was when he was subbed off. His attitude still stinks.

Its a copy of the Munichs song about Owen Hargreaves. exchanging curly for ginger.

If the 'Temple' had not stopped a shot like that, he would be the subject of much criticism on here.

Crewe's keeper was at fault for Davies' and Pilkington's goals, awful keeping so ofcourse if our keeper conceded goals like that there would be criticism like there will be from Crewe fans, so dont really know what your getting at with that comment ? Pretty stupid and pointless post.

£1m and 50% sell on is minimum id take

I did ok with the steam version and it automatically puts the update on. If u read the list of all the bugs the updates corrects i suggest downloading the patch asap.

Taylor was class, Hughes, Jones,Liddell, Byfield, Reuben,Allot all impressed me inparticular.

Crossley no saves of note to make but was very impressed with him coming for balls did it confidently and relieved alot of pressure from dangerous balls except the one he dropped :| good day from everyone !

Mersey clipper, they were fit but *******

Not seen the highlights but the save at the end was just the striker fluffing his shot - he should have buried it against any keeper. But that's why he is playing for Cheltenham rather than someone decent. The save in the first half (turning it around the post) was much better.

 

Simply put: First goal was Hazell playing at right back rather than centre back (Sheridan's fault) and the second Gregan being silly (Gregan's fault). Crossley played fine - so let's stick with that.

So i was right all along. You lot with your "yawn" comments and the like need to get a grip. Its sad.

We lack mental toughness and desire.
