my memory is pants, did simms not arrive around the same time that bob posted the apparent deadline for broadhead?
i could be miles off of course but i am getting the impression that this club does not mess around any more, i think they offered him a good deal for a championship player who is unproven at this level and also needs to prove his injuries were one of those 'one off' seasons and either him or his agent has been trying to squeeze a little more out of the club...if he does go to wigan you can almost guarantee they have offered way more than we would (similar to wyke) and with so many strikers/attackers on their books anyway it will upset a few.
i honestly have no idea why as i really have no dislike for wigan for any reason but i hope, if they do get him, that they get pretty much the same 'service' as they got from wyke, they need to realise that throwing money towards players is not the way.
