Hold the back page, Wigan signing a player

Nicky Maynard

WHO?

Martinez getting ready for the drop, no doubt.

Very good Championship player, very quick. Might do a job for you.

Why does every think Martinez is faultless? He's a nice guy an all but some of his signings for Wigan have been awful. Surprised he's lasted this long.

I really don't think Martinez is the problem at Wigan to be fair, would be a shame if he was sacked.

Drop, not chop. Don't think he will be sacked, even if they do drop. Small club in terms of supporters and cash. Think he has done OK with what he has bought and how they play, but in the Prem money talks.
 
Sky Sports understands Birmingham winger Jean Beausejour having a medical at Wigan. #WAFC #BCFC

He's definitely building a team to bounce straight back up from the Championship!
 
What like Jason Scotland, he was an amazing player. 32 games 1 Goal :D

Now Wigan have Conor Sammon 21 games 1 goal :D

Buy Championship players, end up in the Championship.

srs might as well be in championship with these sorts of players.
 
He was a great player for Swansea, before Martinez raped and pillaged us before leaving :p;)

We're (norwich) doing quite well with our set of champ and below derived players :p

Hmmm just heard on SSN that PSG have ended all interest in Tevez:p...oh dear looks like Tevez wont be playing football for some time then unless some team comes in from him at the last minute.

It's all very good putting it like that but its pretty simple, PSG put in an offer, I think had it accepted and Tevez turned them down and has said he wants to go to AC, who are apparently back in.

City turned down AC's offer as they were hoping for more and better offers.

Problem is, the player has to actually accept the deal so he still has all the power.

City should have taken AC's offer and played it out in the press that they took an offer worth more than a trouble maker is worth. Now they'll likely accept a lower offer from AC than from PSG and everyone will know Tevez got what he wanted.

Tevez turned down PSG because Kia wont get his bung from Galliani.

Will be very surprised to see him leave this Jan. He has less than a week to do it and we aren't going to accept AC's deal out of principle because Kia pimped him out all year and sorted this deal without our input.

He either goes PSG/Inter or no where. No problem for us to keep him as we are not paying him. Tries to take us to court or to Fifa and he will get thrown out because he has made no attempt to come back to the club.
 
Yes, and the quickest way to get rid of Kia, is to get rid of his players, how exactly do you think it will be different if he stays 6 months and Kia sorts out the transfer next transfer window?

The reasoning for where he wants to go is irrelevant, though AC milan are FAR more established than PSG and with or without all the money, south american players tend to prefer to live in Italy/Spain over anywhere else in Europe, France isn't at all bad, but not awesome either.

I'd choose Milan over PSG right now and apparently so will Tevez. ULtimately Kia still works for Tevez and if he wanted to go PSG he would.

If Tevez is on 200-250k a week now, thats another half season you'll be keeping him to spite Kia, and another few million less he is worth due to contract length and the obvious desperation, so thats 5mil in wages, and another few mil in transfer fee you'll lose out by waiting.

City would be mental to wait any longer, considering all the detailed plans people link to for City becoming financially stable, another 7-8 mil dropped to spite Kia, while also dragging the Kia/Tevez/transfer saga another 6 months is ridiculous, not least because again, it keeps Kia involved yet again.

Well we are trying to, Nedum, NDJ and Tevez are his players and we are trying with the exception of NDJ to get rid although his future isn't secure.

Well we will have months of negotiating we can do and not be held over a barrel just because he thinks we are desperate to sell now.

Well it is relevant because that is the only reason Kia turned them down, PSG would have offered more wages, bonuses and so on then anyone else. It is because he isn’t making the deal which is why he turned it down.
No Tevez works for Kia, always has and always will. You can’t seriously think he runs his own career?

Well we are not paying him so it is irrelevant what his wages are. We are spiting Kia because we don’t agree with what he is doing.
We are not going to be held to ransom over this transfer so he has two options, PSG or Inter. We will refuse AC until the end of time I think. Not one City official has had anything to do with that deal apart from when AC decided they had tapped up Tevez and want to make an official bid.

Sad but true.

Norwich are ridiculously over achieving, unless they spend big in the summer I can see them really struggling next season. It's like Hull City all over again.

Good luck to Howson, never did I see him good enough for the Prem! But then neither did I think Johnson was and he's doing well.

(Awaits the Stoke supporter coming in saying his usual stuff :p)

All joking aside, that's a bargain, he isn't that bad. He just wasn't good enough to play regularly for united, so he never had a chance to develop out on the pitch.

450k... I'd say that's a steal.

Its a good deal for everton, thse scots like to stick together..

Maybe it also buys us a first shot at rodwell or something else who knows?
 
Owen Hargreaves is the perfect example of a player whose fan perception changed over a few years. He had an average World Cup in an underperforming England team and all of a sudden was hailed as some sort of all-conquering hero, by the same fans who were tearing their hair out as his selection under Sven. The reality is he just had/has an incredibly high workrate and is quite versatile, but as footballer he has never been that amazing. He can't pass the ball over more than 5-10 yards consistently, nor can he consistently beat his opponent in the air / dribble. Once the "Gerrard & Lampard can't play together" brigade got into full voice he seemed to almost get into the team by default due to the lack of much competition as a holding midfielder.
 
As i said earlier and know Khaldoon has said it himself...
City's firm belief is that a deal is being brokered behind the scenes. Tevez and Joorabchian were photographed dining with Galliani in Brazil this month and Mubarak's annoyance was barely concealed as he talked of the way Internazionale and Paris St-Germain had "approached discussions [for Tevez's transfer] with us in good faith and it is always a positive experience to deal with people with a professional approach".

Possible move for Tevez to Inter this transfer window i am now thinking, if not to annoy AC we will get 21m + Balotelli debt wiped.
