However he does sound like just the type of character we could do with at the moment. Too many teams have seen Latics as a bit of a soft touch this season. Perhaps if we had a team containing Adams, Legge and Hilßner, it might give us the bit of steel, nastiness and nouse that we’ve been lacking. If Clarke was in the starting 11 from the start of this campaign, we'd of been top 7 by now Instead, Tranmere are more than benefitting from his inclusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Sounds like a top pro and good character to have around. Legge's have gone though according to the Port Vale forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I know of Leon Legge, he used to play in my local Conf South team, Tonbridge Angels. Stocky, quite tall. While since I tracked him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Someone on the Port Vale forum suggested swapping Legge for Wheater, which is actually a very logical idea. So of course there's no way it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspiral_Carpet Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If we classed McAleny as a goal scoring winger, same as Johnny Smith, should the latter become available, who would you prefer in the team? I think a few teams will be juggling their loan players due to the restrictions and personally, I’d much rather have Smith back at Latics if Swindon sent him back to Bristol City. As others have said, McAleny only signed for us to further his career elsewhere and I really don’t fault him for that. He owes us nothing so good luck to the lad although I do think he can do better than Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fervid Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Money talks end off, if I was a betting man he will be gone end of transfer window. Hope not, one of our better players who will keep us near the top half than fighting the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 McAleny could turn Bradford down in order to get a better offer in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradford's a dead end for any ambition he might have but he might be unsettled enough here to take his chances on another stop gap.

It depends whether Latics are pushing him to leave now though to bring in a bit of cash before he becomes a free agent in the summer and I really don’t know what the truth is here.
