Speculation James McArthur

[camberwell fox]

But we are a credit in every aspect of the negotiations?

I feel a bit hurt and betrayed

Do you feel dirty Lako, and if so how much?

Do you feel dirty Lako, and if so how much?

I always try to feel at least a little bit dirty, but It's certainly becoming harder......

 

[camberwell fox]

Indeed it is.

How are your mother and father?

 

[SJN-Fox]

Is he any good then? What are peoples thoughts?

I think someone left the cake out in the rain.

 

[homer]

I've had enough of this

I don't think that I can take it

if Palace complete this deal before us, considering the manager has been there a few hours then theres something drastically wrong with our club

Or there's something drastically wrong with the player.

Or there's something drastically wrong with the player.

Absolutely - if he'd rather perform at a lesser club, who wouldn't be able to offer him more money but the opportunity to live in London then he's not the player I'd taken him for. So no panic here, if he's a good'un he'll be coming, and if he's a wrong'un he won't. We should thank Palace for their participation.

Would be happier if this hadn't been leaked. We clearly moved for him Incase EC wasn't signing. Wigan weren't to know that but I guess now it's our there someone will take him at the price they want.

Suppose we didn't have much choice, given how the EC negotiations were progressing.

It's not possible to enter in to any dealings with Dave Whelan without him leaking it to anyone and everyone within a 10,000 mile radius.

Did you know he once played in an FA Cup Final?

Very true. His practice is to give a blow by blow commentary to the media on all his dealings whether they be players or managers.

That said, I think we have a very obvious problem in that we entered the close season in very good shape with the seeming intent of adding a few quality players to an already decent squad. We're coming to the end of the close season having achieved very little. One hopefully decent striker and nothing else worth mentioning - and I include Albrighton in that on the basis that he was ineffectual at the Villa. This lack of activity has sent out a message that we are not strong enough to be likely to survive in the Premier League - and so we are less attractive now.

It's going to be very difficult to put this right by the time the window closes. I hope that we are more successful by Mid night Monday than I fear will be the case.

Midnight will be a hour too late.

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has vowed to reinvest the funds generated from the sale of James McArthur to Leicester City.


The Scotland international is heading out of the DW Stadium after a fee was agreed with Leicester at the third time of asking.

It is reported that Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is prepared to pay around £7million for the midfielder, with a deal set to be completed ahead of the weekend.
