Siphiwe Tshabalala Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Il see him playing at Rochdale this season. Wigan should cruise out of League 1 easy, so he will be playing in the Championship next season. Although, apparently they're close to a Chinese takeover, so that could potentially see the manager gone in a year or so. All the best to him, he will do absolutely fine in League 1.

I agree and without trying to appear dramatic but a win would continue the good feeling around the club and take us through to the end of the season. Actually that does seem a bit dramatic but you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Best of luck to Jamie with his move if it gets completed. Good move for him, 6 months to settle in at his new club and then very likely the Championship. A much better move for him footballing wise than a trip along the M8.

When we have Randall RB and Berra and Souttar/Hughes in centre defence Smith/Brandon at LB were solid enough to have conceded 2 in 9? Maybe we can focus efforts on the creativity and finishing if its a choice of who we can bring in now and look to upgrade LB in the summer?

Fair do’s - I don’t think him staying is better for either party now. He needs a new challenge and is stagnating at us now. He isn’t someone we rely on now as the Celtic game proved.

The last 12 months have been a bitter time and tarnished a lot of the memories but hopefully he kicks on and does well down there. Hopefully banking on the sevco dollar is a cautionary tale for our youngsters and they look south before they west.

Romulus Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I don’t really understand the slow comments. He is one of the quickest players in the team.

Elias Henry Furst Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Was desperate for a move to Ibrox in the Summer and allowed his agent and others to turn his head. Sadly that’s how i’ll remember him. Don’t know what was wrong with that group of players but they appeared to have ideas above themselves. Perhaps the agent involved was indeed the common denominator. Confident the young players we have coming through now will surround themselves with better people. Back to Walker, will need to up his work rate and get his head right or he’ll get lost amongst a sea of fitter, stronger players. Glad it all appears to be coming to a close and look forward to seeing who we bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
