Is anyone starting to wonder if we might soon be approaching that dreaded stage where we have to release a youngster or two?
We'll get lambasted by the Great Unwashed of course, but at present we have a plethora of talented kids, and we surely can't offer first team contracts to them all.
What do we all think?

Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"A has been said it is not a new deal but a third year option.
It's McIlorum and Prescott that are on similar deals and news may be out shortly regarding them.
Thought O'Carroll's deal is to 2011 and then an option.
Either way I can see them being with the club for many years.'"
It was Goulding, O'Carroll and McIlorum

I was told a long time ago that the club had taken out this option on Goulding and O'Carroll, not sure about McIlorum, so I am not surprised. The deadline for these options was a couple of months ago and if it wasnt taken out then the players were free to talk to other clubs. I dont understand why these deals are only just being release now though, Lenegan certainly does seem to like to keep news back for wharever reason. |

It was from 2007 when Goulding, O'Carroll and McIlorum signed their deals.
You said McIlorum and Prescott were on similar deals and O'Carroll's deal was to 2011. I was giving you a link that showed who signed the same deal as Goulding. |

In the backs we do not really have an issue at the moment out of the youth players it is only Ainscough who is not really getting a game. There is still alot of time for him as well. All the other backs, Charnley, Thornley etc are a while of the first team IMO.
In the pack it is another story. I think the club have got some tough decisions coming up. |

Does this put even more truth into the rumour that Phelps is going home?

Glad he's been kept, and a 12 month deal will keep him on his toes. Hopefully we'll see him improve and cement a longterm future at Wigan.
With so many young lads coming through from the under 20's and now Goulding being kept here for another 12 months I wonder whether Pryce will get a new deal?
There's nothing wrong with having great depth it's a real plus point for Wigan, but it's a fine balancing act to get the right mixture of depth and quality.

I take it that there are still some doubts about him then?'"
definately a better player than he was 12 month ago, imo they are keeping him around in case they can't get a replacement for Carmont in 2012, they will just hand him another contract, sort of like a safety net |

12 months is right - gives him the incentive to earn another contract

| Quote Famous="Famous"Not really. It is 12 months because he originally signed a contract for 2 years with an option for a 3rd year in the clubs favour. The club are merely exercising this option. Anything else would mean that the club would have to pay a bigger contract and that Goulding would be free to talk to other clubs and could potentially leave. If I recall correctly McIlorum and O'Carroll are on similar deals so if they are staying then something should be announced soon too.'"
Ah, an extension I understand, I thought it was a new deal from the OP. |

Nice to see another academy player getting a longer contract with us. It's all up to him to prove her merits a longer deal now.
