Shocking.

Spot on Mr C. Leigh had the chance to take him on loan last season and cocked it up, do you really think he's going to want to come? He'll probably break into Wigan's first team this season anyway.

He/they may view the duel contract thing as a better option, allows him to show them how good he is at what should be a higher level, and can be recalled immediately.

lets hope it doesn't go like Tom Hemmingways went

Don't think we'd have any way of preventing it, the only thing is if it was just to rest other parent clubs players for up coming key games, we should get them back.

Wonder who'd they train with?

Stanton is yet another product of St John Fisher as was mick morrison
