GlossopLatic Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Even if we get him until January it would still be a big boost and ofcourse we could strengthen further in Jan. Ofcourse we could have someonelse in mind..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nostalgia lads will have your head for that and then start mumbling about how football isn’t what it used to be and how players like (insert name) would run riot.

They only chose Athletic because as Wigan Borough, then Town, then United then County, they went bust. I remember them as a good Northern Premier League team. They stole our name, nickname and colours because they were running out of ideas. Still, copying us clearly helped to set them on their way....well, that and Dave Whelan's millions.

Is that true that they went through all of those names? Interesting if so. At least they didn't copy the Villa from our Pine Villa days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of player we are desperate for so hope a deal can be done, every signing is a risk but I'd rather we brought in the couple of players we need rather than being scared of how shit they may be. This lad and Cotterill seem like two who'd fit the bill to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
