The Wigan Fire Sale

Would Kal Naismith be a decent squad player for us? LB / LCB but fairly versatile also....as we are short of defenders? 28yo, 68 apps over last 2 seasons for them.
I don’t think we can afford any more squad players tbh. We have six spots that need filling with quality players that can perform at the top of the championship. No dippers x
 
Agreed Newy , we need quality to have a chance of promotion
Phillips
Zohore
Roberts
Garner
4 loans and 1st team starters
Scott McKenna would be great for LCH but I doubt we can afford him
And a goalscorer needed

Michael Jacobs? Left wing, free transfer, played 32 times for Wigan last season.
Last season - 3 goals 4 assists . Used mainly as a sub in his last 10 games , and left out for their last 8 games .On a free so low risk , maybe worth a trial
Good shout RFLW , he is decent and proven in the championship
59 goals 71 assists in 382 matches , decent at this level , although last season s tally isn't the best .

Solid champo left winger.
We have Johnson, Coulson, Tavernier, Fletcher and Brown all of which I believe can play at that standard. We need more than solid. We need six GOOD players imo. Players that stand out and there is no question of them being good. Full backs that can defend, wingers/attacking midfielder that prove assists and can score.. goal scoring strikers too!
 
Should Gibson have just dropped a cool £7m on the table and sorted the transfer window out on day one?

LB Robinson
CD Kipre
RB Byrne
MF Williams
MF Morsy
RW Lowe
AM Windass
ST Moore
ST Gelhard


We could have loaned them some players to keep them afloat, maybe chucked in a young up and coming coach to sweeten the deal..

Pears, Bola, Liddle, ONeil, Walker with Woodgate?

Interesting question and thought.

Surely Wigan have raised more than £7m from those 9 players - my guess is more like £12m.

We possibly could afford 6 or 7 new players I doubt 9 and several of those Wigan players have gone to Premiership clubs.

We have tried to buy at least 3.
