slider1 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Does anyone know when his contract dispute will get resolved and I presume he won't be available to play on in the league until it has. I'll be gutted if he doesn't sign considering the amount of playing time he's been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZO83 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 He said to me that it would be this week. He doesn't want to go back to Swindon and loves latics. Also owns a house in Bowden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 No disrespect to our number 9 but I will forever refer to him as Adam as I simply cannot see me singing his surname as his c bomb namesake will always come immediately to mind. So if others choose to song 'R**n*y' I will gladly sing along 'Adam' Hope he signs quickly he's improved with each game - it's great to see us have so many attacking options and if we do find ourselves at the right end if the table then unlike 05/06 we will have the strength in depth. I would still like another CB but perhaps the purse strings might be loosened as usual of we get off to a poor start....if not its a win sun situation if we get the desired effect from Tarky, Mellor & Byrne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he found this rather amusing and said not a chance in hell. I just forgot to mention which Rooney doubt he'll pay up though when he finds out.

LaticsPete Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I never had any problems shouting "Hughsie" for any of the players we had called that despite that goal in 1994 in the semi. And Mark Hughes' did more damage to Latics than anything Wayne Rooney has ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZO83 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Seems a top fella and from what the other players were saying and not saying its a done deal Last year at this stage we had slew, smith and Simpson. Lj has done a great job just there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Swindon supporting step-son thinks it's imminent; signing for us, that is. And, apparently, a lump of his perceived wage included not only win/goal bonuses, but his hotel accommodation as well. So it seems his basic wage was not what everyone may have thought, but who knows for sure? Edited July 29, 2013 by Bristolatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be gutted if he doesn't sign considering the amount of playing time he's been given. The PFA will apply a great deal of pressure on Swindon to get this resolved before the season starts, I would have thought, so that he's not in the position of not being able to play for anyone.

deyres42 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There will be some long faces if he does scarper elsewhere given the effort we seem to have put into getting him here. Nothing shocks in football anymore but I'd be surprised if he's not a fully fledged 'Tic before Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 the way I'm seeing it is we have to work with what we've got atm, that means if Rooney signs it will be a massive bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This is football, and this is Latics afterall. I fully expect him to be annouced as a new signing this week. ....For someone like Gillingham... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he'll remain at Swindon, score against us later in the season, and we'll receive glowing praise on what a fantastic job we did on getting his match fitness back.

Channel M Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 All quiet on the Rooney front. Anyone know if he's still been around the club, training etc, since Sat? The tweets about Rangers appeared to come from knowledgable insiders so with all this silence on the subject it isn't filling me with hope.
