Any big transfers already go through?

I sort of dropped off on a bender for a while as Forest won 1 of 5 matches from mid-December on (including that 0-5 drubbing when Oldham did the double over us). Hopefully back on track now. Seems a bit early for the March swoon.

Anyone watch the Norwich--Tamsworth(?) game....is the latter in the Conference?

Must have been a big deal to make it to the third round.

Luis Boa Morte has gone from Fulham to West Ham, with Roma's Vincenzo Montella going on loan to Craven Cottage. But not really big ones as of yet.

The full list of English transfers is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...rs/6222283.stm

Yes, they are at the bottom of Conference National. And fyi, there is no 's' in Tamworth.

Hi guys, hope alls well. Does anyone know of a site that sells lower league gear, or at that level(Conf Nth/South) are the team sites the only places to buy a shirt etc? I started a new Con Nth career with Stalybridge Celtic and ever since, that have become my favorite non-EPL team....I even joined their forum for gods sake. I havent been able to find a link on their site to supportes gear, but they seem like a decent bunch of guys and welcomed the Aussie to their ranks,lol. Anyway, I'll keep looking-just wanted to say hi.

They play Leigh RMI in 10 days, give me a shout if you want the programme and I'll see if I can get it signed for you. And before that little fanboy of Leigh starts crying

I have a couple of programmes for him just need to send them.

Only things I could find on ebay were programmes.

Can't really find much on their kits apart from wiki where they have their home kit as just a plain blue one and their away kit looks like Norwich's home kit, unless it's an old kit they used to wear.

The lower down the leagues you go the more friendly the supporters and teams will be, Premier league teams are just snobs although because Wigan are new in the prem they haven't got that snobbery yet. My nephews named after Michael Owen but they used his last name for his first so his name's Owen, anyways wrote to Liverpool when he was there to get an autographed programme for his birthday and even sent some money for them to give to a charity they said NO.

Then when he went to Newcastle I wrote to them to try get him to sign a shirt, even was going to buy a shirt of them and also give some money to charity again they said NO, premier league teams are just so stuck up.

Are these players approachable away from the pitch? Or are the teams just doing what the players want them to do?

You mean Clint Dempsey ? I don't think Fulham will go down, imo it's between Watford, Charlton, Wigan (sad to say), West Ham and Sheff Utd.

Maybe a point or two difference but it's up front where their lacking, their pretty decent defending and attacking just they don't really have anyone to put the ball in the back of the net.

What did they do wrong in the last off-season? And is there anyone they could bring in? Why werent they interested in Dempsey?

They didn't do anything wrong really, they went in for a few players and although Wigan have the money to buy anyone and I mean ANYONE if they wanted to it's getting them here that's the problem.

They went in for Andy Johnson but he went to Everton if they could have got him they'd be laughing, but pretty much all they did was let X ammount of players go which was right because they made a fortune on those players but they only brought in X ammount of players so the squad is a bit weak.

Wigan are up to the eye balls in midfield players, so much so we even have midfield players playing as forwards because we have no forwards

They had Todorov on loan but he's gone back to Portsmouth, Camara is injured so it's Heskey and one of the midfield players playing up front at the moment.

bababui · 01-10-2007, 02:28 PM

Why is it few players want to go to Wigan?
