Must be a young midfielder out there who'll get on the ball and dictate play . Wigan probably have the best midfield in the league with Morsy , Powell & Jacobs , really fear for a pasting on Saturday . Just looking at the squad on Soccerbase. We’ve a squad of 21 players. Not a single loanee in there. Last season there were several occasions we didn’t pay the loan fees properly. I think Bolton said in April we hadn’t paid for any of the 3 months Taylor had been with us. We also had some issues paying Boro for Ripley. Will be interesting to see if we do (or can) get anyone in on loan. EDIT: Forgot about Ben Wilson...was thinking we'd have several loanees this season though.

You could be right though regarding loan fees though, clubs might not be keen to do business with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been a performance related deal.....in which case I've worked it out, we owe Bolton £1.84. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but, but all clubs pay the fees late. There was going to be no impact to pissing other clubs off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's a valid point, you'd expect us to have a few loanees, generally speaking, and the keeper situation isn't right at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of em have equivalent British players that are just as good. But they are twice as expensive as they feel they have a god given right to play in England for whatever they want. Vicious circle of how English football has been polluted with foreign players, all the way down the league system. Foreigners tend to just be cheaper, and they actually want to make it in English football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is football ffs, it is nothing like a normal job and a lot of the little fairies playing it have the most ridiculous sense of entitlement to absurd levels of pay to the point where it cripples the clubs they play for and forces up ticket prices hitting the average man pretty hard in the process. They are human beings, but they are human beings with it seems particularly low levels of insight or empathy to the wider public.
