Why?
We haven't a hope of getting him and after the recent shambles at the KC Pearson would be publicly hanged and Radford probably keel hauled!
Offer them £100k and guess what their reply would be. Polite answers please!
Their poor fans have had K Hetherington as CEO who sold us Ryan Hampshire as due to her in depth knowledge of youth development she knew full well he hadn't the talent to make it. Selling us Lineham now would really do it!
They are the club who probably are one of the best examples of buying in players when you've got better ones in your own youth system.
They bought Jason Crookes and Joe Arundel and gave them the 2 & 3 shirts.
Come injuries, Tom Lineham and Ben Crooks suddenly appear and really do look the busniness. Both are by far better players than Crookes and Arudel yet Hull are now stuck with them.
We should avoid that mistake.
Thank goodness Briscoe has signed for Leeds. I'd rather us stick with Burgess and Manfredi than go for Briscoe. Him and Watkins might be good with the ball in hand but both together will be a defensive nightmare. They'll concede as many as they score if not more!
Any further signings will be here for the pre season so we will see how they go.
Last year everyone and his dog told me Matty Smith was a poor signing and was nowhere near Wigan standard. They ain't saying that anymore!
Let's see if Sarginson and Clubb sign and how they go 2014.
As for International Quality left centres, like who that is likely to sign and is available, even with a barrow load of cash?
Since IL got his own coach, Mcguire, we have won five trophies since and
including 2010. If we win the GF that will be six. Yet there's only 3 available each season. That's brilliant.
For people like me who went to the 1965 C Cup final v Hunslet which we won, then had to wait another 20 years to see the Cup again, what's been achieved now is quite remarkable.
It seems to me the club know who to sign and who to bring through our junior system into the first team.
I'll go with the signings as 2014 is the only time we'll see if they are good for Wigan or not!
