Burndens Bogs Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Plenty of names mentioned on here, but I’d love to know exactly how many ex Bolton players have been signed by Wigan in the last 15 years. Then i can use it as a stick to beat Wiganers with. Quote

Where, notably, he's already down as a Bolton player, on loan, from Hamburg. A good Under 19/20 England history. 20 yrs old, so zero hit on our squad size. A winger, so, at a guess, competition for Dapo or Isgrove. A true mystery incomer. Interesting. Quote
Mannyroader Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Another source has him being released by Hamburg and on trial at Bolton. Hamburg paid £2 million to Arsenal for him. Quote

Then i can use it as a stick to beat Wiganers with. Just Google (other search engines exist, apparently) Wigan Athletic Squad 2006-7 ... and rinse, 15 times, & see who you recognise. I'll await your answer keenly. Oh, Andy Kellett spent time there after his accidental transfer to the Rags. Quote

German clubs have a track record of nicking up & comings from good clubs recently ... as you'll know well. I guess they hunt out talented but impatient youngsters who fear it may take ages to break through ... if ever. I'd be amazed if Hamburg spent £2m on an 18 yr old though. Either way, an unknown with a good youth level pedigree. Quote

Aye its enough that they had sloppy seconds on our big 4 keepers of last 20 years. Jussi, Al Habsi, Boggers and now Amos. Never forgive Coyle for flogging them Al Habsi and then totally wasting the money anyway. Quote

The lower leagues of German football is littered with English lads, Chelsea had 46 lads on loan in Germany I’d imagine a bulk of them are English. Basically Germany is the English football finishing school Edited June 28, 2021 by Rudy Quote
Biggish Dave Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 There's at least 16 I've seen who played for us before Wigan. To be fair, there's probably 7 or 8 the other way Quote
Zico Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 There's an agent with a blue tick next to his name saying the Hamburg deal is false (on Iles thread about it) Quote
MickyD Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Found this list but you needed to do the quiz. I realised there was a “give up” option. https://wiganathletic.com/quizzes/played-for-both/played-for-both-latics-and-bolton-wanderers/ Quote

MickyD Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 48 players have played for both clubs according to that. Greg Strong Emile Heskey Andrew Taylor (never heard of him!) Reece Wabara (or him!) Reece Burke (who?) Paul Comstive Tony Kelly Paul Lodge Stuart Storer David Thompson Matt Gilks seem to be the ones going from them to us, albeit, some on loan to them then us. Quote

Still seeing stuff saying he's joined, on loan. The £2.25m fee is repeated, but he'll have been an academy player so that just seems odd. Right Winger, but can operate on the left. It's an interesting one which I'll believe when we see a Picture, Shirt, Grimace photo &/or Evatt"s words. Quote

1969 Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Toby Brittan liking Paul Mullin's rejection of a new contract at Cambridge. Last time he did similar to Sheehan's post Quote

Burndens Bogs Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) The last Arsenal “starlet” we had was a bag o’ daz - jsl. Anyway, welcome to Amaeochi hope it works out for him & us. Edited June 29, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote
