bettso Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 According to c.j. 'weale is our best shot stopper since Paul Henderson. ' How can you argue with that? Funniest comment that has ever been written on Foxes Talk.
hackneyfox Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 In full: 'What a brilliant idea, bring in an injury prone keeper! My opinion, is that weale is our best shot stopper since Paul Henderson. Fair enough, his kicking's abit shit at times. But every keeper has some aspect of his game that isn't perfect. He's made two mistakes since he's been here, apart from Derby last season he was solid. This season with all the changes and rumours aswell as the start to the season it's bound to affect him abit. He'll recover from this, he's still the first choice keper for me.'
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 We have only got one more loanie left, and i for one would rather have roman bednar than Kirkland because of our lack of strike-force this season. No point in having a half-decent keeper when we cant even score!
hackneyfox Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 You can have as many loanees as you want. The limit is on the number that can play.

hackneyfox Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 It should but the same people that keep their love fest going with Morrisson/Berner/Weale/Dj/Fryatt are the same that thought Henderson/Kisnorbo/Hume/Fryatt were great players. There shouldn't be an argument about whether they are the best that the club have, it should be about whether they are the best that the club COULD have or can reasonably expect to have.
hackneyfox Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 the fact you are using Paul Henderson as your yard stick instantly strips you of credibility That was a quote from c.j. NOT me I hasten to add.
Haydos Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 BBC gossip page today has The Daily Star saying we're 'poised to sign'. Any further news/supermarket sightings?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 Fucking hell, I reckon hackneyfox has a shit load of effigies hanging around somewhere.
hackneyfox Posted 23 November 2010 Posted 23 November 2010 One for almost every player that was in the squad that got us relegated. In fact that may be every player that got us relegated, in particular Hume & kisnorbo Absolute coonts
Fox 4 Life Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 http://www.wigantoday.net/sport/wigan-athletic/kirkland_poised_to_join_foxes_1_2783151 CHRIS Kirkland looks poised to seal his loan switch to Leicester City in the next 24 hours. The former England international has made just three appearances for Latics this term due to the consistency shown by on-loan stopper Ali Al Habsi. Kirkland’s only sighting in the Wigan first team since mid August came in last month’s clash against Bolton, when Al Habsi was barred from facing his parent club. And a temporary switch to Leicester – Kirkland’s home-town side – could well be in the best interests of all parties. The 29-year-old is obviously champing at the bit for first-team football, the Foxes are desperate for a reliable goalkeeper, while Roberto Martinez would also benefit by having a match-ready Kirkland at his disposal should anything happen to Al Habsi. Latics would hold a 24-hour recall option in the event of any injuries.

Damn it, you beat me to ot, oh well, shall post what it says anyway. Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed goalkeeper Chris Kirkland is set to join Leicester City on loan. Kirkland has made just one appearance for Wigan since August and that came when on-loan keeper Ali Al Habsi was ineligible to face parent club Bolton Wanderers last month. A move to home-town club Leicester has been mooted in recent weeks and the deal is likely to be completed before Thursday's deadline. Illness has held up the switch to the Walkers Stadium and Martinez believes it is important for Kirkland to play first-team football. Needs to play "Things have been delayed by Chris' bug, but we will be sitting down to have a chat about the situation," Martinez told the Evening Post. "He got the bug last Thursday night and couldn't travel with the team to Old Trafford, but he trained all right on Monday. "He's lost a little bit of weight, but he'll hopefully regain that very quickly. Now he's over the bug, we'll look into what we can do to help him enjoy his football. "He needs to be playing football, and being able to maintain that sharpness that you only get when you're playing regular football. "That's important, because we'll need him to be ready whenever he gets an opportunity to play for Wigan Athletic."
Ric Flair Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 Jesus. Add Davies, Naughton, Cunnigham, Vassell, Bednar and Kirkland to any team in this league and you're absolutely laughing. We need to be in touch of the play-offs come January because this season the league really is anyones and with players like that being signed we have got to take this opportunity to get promoted.

When Sousa was signing a load of unknowns in the summer, if someone had told me then that our team would end up containing those players and we'd be managed by Sven, I would have laughed in their face and had them committed.
Ford Super Sunday Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 Despite the concerns about his injury-prone-ness, the fact is we're signing him on loan, not for £3.5m on £30k a week. If we were then we could worry. If he does get crocked then he'll go back to Wigan for treatment, we can mutter 'shit' under our breath and get back to having Weale in goal, or wait until Svennis brings someone else in on loan.

Some of us secretly knew what was about to happen
MC Prussian Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 Great move by The Sven. Now do those moves and save us from mid-table mediocrity, Mr. Kirkland.
Jon25747 Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 I thought you could only have 5 loan players in your match day squad?! Kirkland would make it 6, who is going to be left out?!

Martinez seems to be say no permanent deal in January I thought you could only have 5 loan players in your match day squad?! Kirkland would make it 6, who is going to be left out?! Vitor doesn't count the limit is on domestic loans
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 I thought you could only have 5 loan players in your match day squad?! Kirkland would make it 6, who is going to be left out?! Was about to post the same thing. I'd imagine Hobbs will always get into the team ahead of Vitor now, or maybe Berner for Cunningham. EDIT: Just seen what Jimmy has put.
filbertway Posted 24 November 2010 Posted 24 November 2010 I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter what league the player is from, you can only name 5 loan players in your match day squad. I always beleived it was just that a club can loan as many foreign based players as they want, but it's still a maximum of 5 in the match day squad.
