Great hat-trick for wigan last night, wish we had signed him permanently when he was on loan to us in 2015, the ex man u and England player came on as sub and scored 3 goals in 11 minutes unbelievable!

Barely kicked a ball…. And not really heard of him since…. One. Swallow does not a summer make

 

I even remember some Manc coming on here , proclaiming him to be the next great hope and wanting regular updates…. FT had little to offer other than his choice of bench warming  attire

3 goals for Wigan and you wish we'd signed him permanently? Did you sleep through his loan here?

From what I remember he had a bit of an attitude, I don't think he'd fit within our ethos here and we can do much better.

Hi Nick.

This 'hi...' has been done to death but we do seem to get Nick Powell threads cropping up at least once year from mysterious new posters.

Yes he was lazy as it was said that he didn't,'the turn up to training or whatever, but he was young then early 20's. Mature now and still in his mid 20's

But the impact he had on as coming on as sub when wigan were 2 goals down, can't see our subs ever doing that apart from slimani

Premier League v bottom of the Championship. 

Are you suggesting you'd rather have Powell on the bench than Gray?

If he was still with us he would be behind Lawrence, Kaputska and Barnes for a spot in the squad.

Fair play to the lad if he's turning his career round, but you've just answered why he didn't make it here. Age is no excuse, there's plenty of young players working their bollocks off, Powell was just a bit of an arrogant twat who thought he'd already made it. He's obviously had a reality check but I think he's got a lot of people to convince that he's got the work ethic to back his talent up.

He is also still on the bench,and for Wigan.Wigan I tell you.

11 minute hat trick is impressive mind.

I'd have much preferred it if we had taken a punt on him after that big season he had at Crewe; he was phenomenal. It's pretty fair to say that United kind of ruined all of his early promise and it'll be a while until fulfils his potential if at all.

Didn't he turn up with a right ego 

late fir training most days 

new merc every other week 

There's plenty of Wigan fans complaining about this attitude on the pitch, too. Seems to come across as very selfish and arrogant.

Because his achievements since have clearly eclipsed ours.

If he did it's defo Powell himself.
