not to put a dampner on things just emailed my mate who lives in Aus said he is poo and its a big mistake. didnt realise he was 29 are we sure he is not just coming for the payday ??



As for newton that would be fantastic !!

Who knows could be Roby if Stains don't secure him.







I'm happy with this signing. Looking forward to next season and seeing some faces staying..makes a change.

I know he's good defensively, but I just worry about his attacking play.



We haven't seen a good attacking centre at Wigan for a good few years.

Doesn’t look like he’s on a big contract. Those days thankfully seem to have gone!

Bring back gene miles





I think he will go ok for us and looking forward to see how he goes on

Let's wait and see.



Solid defender, quite quick with a very good fend. But he certainly wouldn't get into any of the top teams in SL although that has to be expected with the financial difficulties we have.



The contract is for 2 years which possibly could be 1 year too many. But I'm guessing he needed at least that length of contract for him to agree to the deal. He's centre/wing so he will at least have utility value now and in the future.

hopefully. Just worry about getting players the wrong side of 25 might only be a short contract who knows we will see. sure the future will be even brighter come 2009 !

Not thrilled another steady player, i appreciate we have no money etc etc, not sure if it would have been better leaving it. Much depends on who else was available, the length of the contract, and who the last signing is i guess. Il reserve judgement till then.

I just think sometimes teams other than wigan sign relatively average players that turn out to be good yet we go for the "brand name" so to speak and get left with a hole in our pocket and nothing to show for it.



lets just see ey. I'm just excited we're building a squad for once.

Hardly with the amount of cash we have free to spend.

PLEASE don't let it be this Numbskull

you say you worry about signing players over 25 but in the next breath say signing newton would be fantastic!! isnt he the same age as carmont or abit older?
