“@Mossy_bra: #no not goin home.. Don't worry I'm fine.”

Agree.

5 or 6 excellent games in 3 and a half years make him one of the worse value for money overseas signings the club has every made, no matter if the retirement rumours are false.

No point carrying on with this topic if he's denying it. Let's just hope he can get back into the first team soon - I don't really see where he fits in though.

Gutted for him... So sad it did not work out. The guy was a genuine talent, its no surprise he looked so dejected in 20's games if this has been looming on the horizon.

No way !

You don't see many of Fergusons calibre . If your lucky you might see one or two in a lifetime.

Roberts played a few very good performances and that's all.

Shame really, but we have had several players in the past that have been injury prone.

He was superb for about 10 games at the start of 2010. Even if he has been awful value for money in the long term, that is still the best I have seen any Wigan player perform in my time.

I still maintain that we would have been a better side with Amos at 1 and Sam at 6.

He has been a waste of cap space for over a year now, so has Fielden. Two of our highest earners no doubt. Will be intresting to see who we can sign with so much cap space available after this season.

He got injured in his 10th game that season, started the season on the wing and only moved to FB when Phelps got injured. I don't remember him being "superb" in every game, certainly not until he moved to FB, but I do remember him being unplayable for around 5 or 6.

wasn't he on the wing against wire early on in the season? if so he was qaulity in that game my memory isn't to good.

He was. He switched to FB during the away game at Cas when Phelps went off injured. That game was the most dominant one man performance I've seen in a long time. That day he was totally unplayable.

Can't see either he or Fielden ever playing for us again.

This.

And whatever we may think about his "value for money" its a awful way for him to end his career, IF TRUE. To be honest i find the "value for money" comments a little distasteful.

He started the Wire game at FB, which was the 3rd game of the season. Played on the wing for the first two.

Why? We got half a dozen excellent games from him in 3 and a half years. Given his reputation when he came it's unlikely we've been paying him peanuts. There's a lot of rose tinted memories going on at the moment because of a handful of games in the early part of 2010.

Its not rose-tinted at all. He was crap first season, so was Pat. Then he was excellent, so was Pat. Then he had a serious injury. True the money side does come into it, but its a persons career as a top athlete we are talking about, and it was cut short as he was settling in. I just feel that your comments are a little callous.

Said my piece...

I agree that "value for money" statements are distasteful. Don't forget that Amos at FB seemed to be settling into the team and a position that suited him and played some fantastic games. However, whilst playing for Wigan he has suffered an injury which at best is severely career limiting and could be career ending from the general posts.

Who is going to take on his contract after Wigan? It's not as if he will have a great future career based on u20's games.

Now, if this were a player Wigan had signed and barely played without an injury sustained playing for Wigan were to have Value for Money in a discussion then I wouldn't have the same complaint.

I hope that Amos is able to play again and with the same flair we briefly saw, if only to allow him to sign for another team and keep a career going after injury at Wigan.
