Nonsense. Wigan haven't signed anyone.

Like I said the next fans' forum will be interesting - IL will need to provide clarification and reassurance to the fans re the recruitment policy.

Agreed.

We can't keep losing high earning players year after year, replacing them with duffers at the last minute and be happy with it.

Mr Lenagan did a radio interview in Australia half way through 2008 that got all us Wigan fans excited about the prospect of which players we'd be signing for 2009 until he pointed out due to salary cap restraints it would be 2010 before we could get any high profile players in......Well faur enough Mr Lenagan but now is time to deliver the fruits of that trip.

We'll see.

Don't forget that Saints only disclosed the Puletua signing after they had announced Potter as their new coach.

Not picking sides of whether we have or haven't signed anyone yet, but one thing I will say is that we wont know when the player was signed. Lenegan could have signed a player or players months ago and announce it in October, or he could sign a player on the 1st of October and announce it a day later, what we'll never know was when that player signed on the dotted line.
I personally don't care when there announced as long as there top quality players and help us to improve.

Unless IL is a masochist!!!

When you come to think about it not that hard of a job to keep the majority of the fans happy is it really?

It’s not rocket science that all you have to do is;

Keep the best youngsters like Tomkinsx2, Prescott, Mcilorum, Mossop etc tied down to good long term deals and when you have an opportunity to replace some one like Coley & Bailey with a world class player simple as.

He seems to be struggling with the balancing act of getting the right mixture of good youngsters, solid professionals and top notch players into the one squad.

We don’t have to sign 6 or seven world class players at the end of every season he only needs to deliver one maybe two to this team to see an instant improvement and appease the fans majority of fans imo.

Have you thought that he may be trying to keep a lid on salary spending? Lindsay overpaid massively for a number of players giving you a reputation of big payers. Leneghan is obviously trying to change that, but it won't be easy, nor quick.

Some of you are complaining about him not acting in the exact same way as you all complained about Lindsay acting, the way that dropped your club in the poop that it's currently in.
