GlossopLatic Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Bit disappointed as I think some on here undervalued him but I think it was always going to be a case of someone going for others to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_ragg1984 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm not going to claim to be outraged but I do think it's a mistake to sell Philliskirk, given the position we're in. Say what you like about him but 7 goals in 28 is a decent return for someone who, for the most part, doesn't play up front, in a crap team. True fact: Latics have won three league games this season and Danny Philliskirk has scored the winning goal in all three. He took the shot against Chesterfield that ended up going in, via the keeper, post, and keeper again. It was an OG all day (and season) long.

losesome Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If we sell Philli then we must keep hold of Murphy , Where else will goals come from ? What other club in relegation position would sell their current best goal scorers !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitygoo Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Not a bad record for someone out of position, played all over midfield including a deeper role in the odd game. Not happy that he's going.... He gets a bad rep on here for being a bit soft but he's a striker FFS....he scores a few, wins penalties....when he's in the box he is a danger. We just don't put him there! If he goes to Blackpool and plays up front, he'll score 7-10 this second half of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Has the Liam Kelly to Wigan thing blown over? Perhaps the scenario is selling Philliskirk allows us to keep Kelly and get a CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Including 2 against us probably !!!! Yeah but it's ok, cos one will go in off Cornell so that'll be an own goal that doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure, I think a more likely scenario is that we will sell any player that we get an offer for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The crux of the deal hinges on whether he is replaceable or not. I'd suggest he is. Rasulo may well have been a better player than him, and Winchester is more able, if not as consistent this season. We've had several better players than him, both permanent and temporary, while he's been here, too. £75k isn't much, but if we paid more than that for him I'd have been disappointed. Hence why I expected him to be a long-time servant to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The problem I have is he seems to be one of few true model professionals left in the squad...the type I thought Dunn would want to build a squad around given his comments of late...if Kelly does go we will be left with laurel and hardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawbie Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Glad he's moving on myself, sick of every manager shoe horning him into the team when there are better options in those positions. He also turns and passes inside / backwards far too much. Think this is a blessing in disguise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The second post seems a lot more sensible to me. We as a club just do not have a clue about what is important! Ideally we'd have a blend of steady players and talented players in the team, but Blue_Guru's comment is totally redundant when you're willing to snap any club's hand off which offers you money for your players. You simply cannot build a squad if you are letting go of your best players every single transfer window. Coincidently, the only time we have achieved that feat is this summer, yet we appointed an amateur manager 3 months too late and have suffered massively as a result. When you're letting go of somebody like Philly, who has 18 months left on his contract and little probablity of reaping us sell-on reward, for a meagre fee of £75k, what chance have you of continuity?

oafc1000 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Does anybody else think that Corney might be sanctioning sales of players Dunn said he would like to keep in a hope he resigns so he doesn't have to pay him off. Or is Corney just being Corney and any offer is a good offer and we will take it? Suppose we will see by who if anyone Dunn is allowed to sign on permanent deals. First signings are both on one month loans, and players that have been in the team during our terrible run. Hardly the start of reshaping your squad is it?

steveoafc Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeates... If this is true I'll be sorry to see him go, a natural winger who runs at a man and can get a cross over. Just the sort we should be pulling out all the stops to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another month of bad results and we are practically down anyway. Dummigan and Lafferty have been good though, not sure why people are bellyaching about them signing.
