Wigan are really a pointless club tbh, i'd hate to be one of their few supporters. In time they'll be back in the lower leagues, days like today prove that they are way out of their depth.

even if he did come back into the frame, i wouldn't take him. he has been abysmal for liverpool this season.

GK - James, Hart, Green RB - Neville, Johnson LB - Cole, Baines CB - Terry, Rio (Dawson if not fit) , King, Upson CM - Parker (barry if fit), Carrick, Lampard, Gerrard LM - J Cole, A Johnson RM - Lennon, Milner ST - Rooney, Defoe, Crouch, Heskey

some or our fans are complete and utter mongs, they have to find something to moan about.

opposition wouldn't even get near him in this league, due to his movement and pace - so it's rare he'd get fouled anyway. he'd push for 40+ goals at this level. why am i even debating this?....

If it's true, then it must be down to something that has happened behind the scenes that none of us are aware of. I cannot see him being unhappy at our ''Performance'' this season, because if he is it kind of deems his opening statement pointless. ''we need to take time, it will be a slow progression'' - or something along those lines. He looked very happy when he was at Wembley, and took time out to speak to Pards for a little bit up in the royal box. Although at the end of the day it could be as simple as him not being able to fly because of the ash...

I was expecting that to be paraded tbh - but maybe they haven't supplied us with a replica yet? who knows, but it did feel like a kind of low-key lap.

''Over the years i've been supporting the Albion there's been a few special players that just make you smile when they've got the ball and do something special, but Calderon tops them all. Absolutely love watching him play football, i think he's the most exciting player i've seen in the Stripes, so composed on and off the ball, plenty of flair, watching his performances he loves playing with the ball to feet and just does it all with consummate ease. The goal against Charlton was just superb. Honestly hope he's still here for a few years to come.'' good stuff

these rumours will not go away until Cortese comes out and denies them outright, as long as the club come out with the line ''No comment'' then you have got to believe there is something bubbling.

It was announced on the FL show last night (not sure how much they are in the know) ''There will be a meeting on Wednesday to discuss his future'' not sure what there is to discuss though....he's done a fine job and wants to be here.

Cortese was there, was stood in the directors box - 100%

Poor IMO. should have scored and completely missed the goal, hasn't improved since he left us. Will hopefully get some confidence from scoring in L2 though, good level for him to find his feet.

tbf he was pretty **** for us. His performance v Bristol Rovers in the cup will always haunt me.

what a kick on the ******** for Pards, totally and utterly unfair if it happens. Hughes is a good manager, I'm not doubting that - but if we go about replacing him in this way, when there is actually no need, then someone needs to have a word with themselves.

which if true is mental. We all appreciate what he's done for us (finances etc) but this season has been far from a faluire. we all saw his huge smiles at Wembley, so i kind of find the solent reason hard to believe.

good thread. he isn't going anywhere btw

nope, he wasn't there.

we've already signed a RB

nahhhh, we don't want sensible explanations like that

Confirmation from Poyet - '"I want to thank Calde because he helped us a lot. "Unfortunately I'm very disappointed because he has chosen to wait for an offer from Southampton and not to sign for us with everything agreed. "The disappointment is big. Everything was agreed. "It was only the contract to sign but he decided to wait for a possible offer from another club in this division. "The club is Southampton, who we cannot compete with. "We clarified a few weeks ago that if somebody thinks we are the Chelsea or Manchester City in the division, we are not. That is Southampton. "If they are going to buy the players and pay more than the rest there is nothing we can do about it. "We have withdrawn the offer. "We don't accept players agreeing contracts and not signing. "We are a proper club and he had until midnight yesterday but the offer is gone and he is not going to be our player. "I can promise you that.

''Southampton's turnover is always going to be much higher than ours but I didn't think they were out of the financial MIRE just yet. At least we have stability. Hope he bankrupts them '' :rolleyes:

http://northstandchat.com/showthread.php?t=174718 looks like a done deal, confirmed on the radio down there. they're gutted...

absolutely top class player, has been massive for them since signing. top bit of business if true.

possibly because he couldn't get a flight? /or may not have been able to get back. British airspace is about to close again according to reports.

1-1 now, really good game to watch. Could go either way this tie...
