whoops making a mess of this replying business!!!

I think your going to be very disappointed if you believe that bringing in two expensive players is going to improve the team that much to put us in the top 2 next year.

No it wouldn't because no club would pay that. If they want to come over they would have to accept a lower wage than that. They would still be a clubs top earners but then a clubs best players tend to be!

Of course they may not want to come with the weak pound meaning UK wages of around £200K (not unreasonable for a clubs star player) might not be so attractive any more.



Both Leeds and Saints have star players such a Peacock for Leeds and he won't be on peanuts. Perhaps they don't need a star overseas player given the standard of player they already have. We do IMO.



Quite right.

They would improve the team far more than re-signing Andy Coley or Phil Bailey and would be more expensive because they are better players. But with the number of players leaving Wigan this season we should be able to sign them.

Frank and Tony Puletua are brothers and so you would think that they would command a similar wage. Both at a similar age and play the same positions. So how come Saints can do it and we can't?

Your not going to get quality players for the wages of Andy Coley.

It should get us in the top 4 and that is where you need to be given the new play off format. The third placed team is Hudds who are not that great so IMO we would not need to be that great either to get there.

They are 6 points in front of us and we have 6 games we lost this year we should, if we had played to our current potential never mind to a better standard we may attain with the addition of two players, have won. Would the addition of a couple of players have got us 3 out of those 6 victories needs to put us on a par with Hudds?

On paper IMO yes but we know how unreliable "paper" form can be and that is down to the Noble factor IMO so to realise this top 4 potential we need a couple of class players AND a new coach.

Chances of getting all three under IL seem remote!

Dave

Fielden was supposed to improve the team and hence was paid a big wage do we want to make the same mistakes...

I agree with what he says, what about yourselves?

Um that's what everyone is talking about? Check the previous page.

Oh, feel like a bit of a dickh*ad now. My mistake.

I agree, and dont let anyone be fooled by Bailey's recent form, he's been $hite for the whole of his contract, not worth the wonga, and lo and behold when renewal time comes around, starts to play well, called 'Orr syndrome' I think. Is anyone saying I told you so, we should not have let him go about Orr, cos there were loads of you at the time saying it was the end of the world, letting him go?????

Totally agree! never a truer word said mate. If there is a clear example of somone playing for a contract its Bailey. Re sign Coley , get rid of Bailey.

I actually think it was Dobson that pulled us out of the muck that year, not fielden. He may have lifted morale, who wouldnt on his whopping salary I am not saying they are better, dont be silly Cadoo. I am just saying that there are worse performers currently than these two who i would much rather see going, thats all. I know it wont happen. Is IL going to want to spend such a huge amount on the pack when the people he is currently paying the most (fielden and feka) are not performing? This is the problem.
Come on now Cadoo lets quit bickering.....

I still think we'll re-sign Bailey, Coley and Phelps...
