Alan Nixon: "Top Liverpool starlet Cameron Branagan will Ben allowed out on loan in Jan.

Bolton lead the race for the 20 year old midfielder"

Edited December 11, 20169 yr by Ratwhite

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.

Xavier Amaechi incoming? 

Well THAT needed Wiki. 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.

Another source has him being released by Hamburg and on trial at Bolton. Hamburg paid £2 million to Arsenal for him.

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.

Didn’t he start out at Arsenal?

He did. As a youth player. 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.

I’ll leave that to someone with a much better memory & much more time on their hands.

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.

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

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

There's an agent with a blue tick next to his name saying the Hamburg deal is false (on Iles thread about it)

Found this list but you needed to do the quiz. I realised there was a “give up” option.

Or maybe that it being a trial is false

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.

I read that his agent objected to "trial" so demanded that be taken down.

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.

Wenger got him to sign his first pro contract for Arsenal. Pic on't internet.

Toby Brittan liking Paul Mullin's rejection of a new contract at Cambridge. Last time he did similar to Sheehan's post

Yep. No PSG but quotes a-plenty. 

The last Arsenal “starlet” we had was a bag o’ daz -  jsl. Anyway, welcome to Amaeochi hope it works out for him & us.

Possible I suppose, but after signing the lad from Coventry?

Whoever he is he's a defender.

Definitely 

How often are we going to get the chance to sign a 26 year old striker who has had scored 32 goals the previous season

Hope so. Fonz must surely be on his way.
