That's not the issue. It's releasing players to make way for Gleeson that is the problem.

Don't see how it is, we could shed 2/3 players easily. The problem is the fee wanted by Wire. I reckon all deals are in place, outside of the fee.

Will IL pay for him seems to be the question, given the short time left on his contract, Wire surely can't want that much.

Come on Mr Chairman, splash out, treat the loyal fans putting up with the mind numbing rugby.

Short time left on his contract = end of the 2010 season.

Which means in the end there will be no deal tbh.

Right or wrong Ian Lenagan won't pay big transfer fees and Wire will want one. If needs be we'll be able to offload the likes of Goulding/Mossop and even somebody like K Pryce out on loan but it's pointless if we won't pay the transfer fee.

I agreed with Lenagans policy of not being held to ransom when he first took over but always thought his policy of not paying out a big wedge to 'anybody' would have to change at some point if we wanted to move forward. I'm not 100% certain the Gleeson deal is really the one to throw any serious cash at but i'm pretty certain that soon enough a player will become available that we simply cannot turn down if we want to get back to the top.

One things for sure were not going to get there taking punts on the likes of Mathers/Pryce/Phelps etc etc.

Which was?

Someone I trust, who's been right in the past. I'm guessing that puts him in a roughly similar court to your informant. Don't bother asking for a name, because I'm obviously not going to give one to you.

I'd also suggest that you don't take posters on the other forum too seriously. A couple of them have axes to grind with the current Wigan management, which appear to colour their every post.
