It's January we never buy anybody in January.
TP has obviously nicked JP's cheque Book

Sounds like McManaman is pretty much a done deal. Expect it to be completed this week. Still anticipating a busy end to the window. #wba

Bought Ridgewell and Andrews in Jan
Who is the tweet from? I don't know who to look at after Lepkowski and his replacement left their jobs.

Long time lurker here (finally registered today).
Im beginning to think maybe we don't need to bring anyone in, in this window.
I mean were sitting clear of the bottom 3 ( granted only just) But all season so far there have been 3 teams worse than us, including the months when we had AI in charge. Now with a more experience TP at the helm, I feel with the current squad we can comfortable avoid the bottom 3, allow TP to get his feet under the table properly and rebuild in the summer.
Just a thought, but what do I know, It took me about 30 minuets to pick a username

@bren_mcloughlin: expect #wba to try for 2 wingers, a left-back, a centre mid and a forward - whether they get all remains to be seen!

Right then, McManaman...
So, the Wigan fans don't seem to care that he is going and many are pleased to take the money and run. In the FA Cup final he ran the show but has never hit those heights again since. Some are saying that say pace his his only attribute, tbh pace is the only attribute we don't have in our squad so that might not be a bad thing
Bad disciplinary record and apparently not fit to play the full 90 too often for Wigan this season.However, he is still only 23, and being young and English means that with a decent couple of seasons we could triple our money. The season Wigan were relegated from the PL he looked quality and was touted at around £10m in the summer when their best players were all jumping ship. He is a hard worker and tracks back - perfect for Pulis' style. His pace will give us something we don't currently have on the counter attack.
If TP can instill a bit more discipline in him and the coaches work on his final ball and decision-making on the training pitch then we could have a player here. I think he would fit perfectly into Pulis' 442 on the right wing as he tracks back enough and is good enough defensively, as well as being the threat we need going forwards. With someone like Sako on the left as well we should see a bit more of a balance instead of what we saw against Everton and in the second half against Blues.
I do think £5m is at the absolute top end of what I would pay, hopefully it works out.

Certainly think we need a replacement for Mulumbu if his injury is serious as I don't think Gardner and Brunt
are up to it,Jack Cork would be decent.Blanco,Varela,and Samaras all need replacing so McManaman is a good start.
