I didn't think Wigan would pay us that much to take him...

So I can go back to my original SuperEmile?!

I presume himself.

[matlfc]

I have got to go now but basically we do the blackberry phones for wigan. A Player who im not sure i can name comes in today and boss asks him outright about emile. Response is 3 million mate.

Just want to see that in black and white!

gwistooshort will flip. this absolutely does not follow protocol

[alias75]

I would have thought Wigan would rather keep him and try to secure their PL future and lose him on a Bosman rather than get just £3million for him and risk losing much more if they get relegated.

[matlfc]

Really got to go but will update in morning if anyone bothered. Personally happy for 3 million.

[Romario]

I hoped we'd left the limp behind. Benni and Heskey up front! Pass the pills.

[Sion]

I am warming to this idea

wouldn't be a terrible move.

Where's he at by the way?

 

Anyways... Emile Heskey coming back? Not sure what to think about this one.

 

Hold on.

 

Ok. The only thing that pops up in my mind is "why?".

[alias75]

Personally i think the transfer makes sense from Rafa's viewpoint we need another out and out forward Heskey's run his contract down. But i don't understand why Wigan would choose to lose one of their better players in January for such a small fee and risk losing £20 million plus if they get relegated. Unless maybe as part of the deal they get someone like Nemeth on loan?

Wouldn't be a bad deal just for that alone TBH.

 

I'd honestly rather have Owen back for £3-5m being touted. Though I guess we don't have a physically intimidating presence up front.

We need a target man, Heskey is such a man.

[Nerik]

Target man for the fans?

We had one in Crouch

 

Wonder which ex-player Rafa's going to bring back after EH (if it's true). Josemi? Nunez? Song? Camara?

Rafa wanted to keep Crouch which suggests he does want a big target man in the squad, the only reason Crouch went was because he wanted to leave and wasn't going to sign a new contract so we had to cash in when we did or lose him for nothing.
