watson ???????????

[sirpiechucker]

I'd be more than happy to get Watson in on a perminant. Don't let his loan spell fool you...Ben is a marvelous player.

Agreed but where and in whom do you play him?

Arguably he could play either the Faurlin or the Taraabt role but I doubt he'll be picked ahead of either.

[stainrodisalegend]

If he joins then I hope I'm proved wrong and warnock gets the best out of him. Cause while he was on loan he was woeful says a lot when we were a better team when he got sent of against reading.
But will give him the benifit lot of crap going on when he was here last season

He was woeful towards the end of his loan and just didn't look interested, but while I don't defend that attitude the club was a complete circus at that time. He actually started off his loan really well - was brilliant up at Newcastle for instance.

Agreed. As soon as Mahon got injured he was pushed into playing the DM role and looked out of his depth but whilst he was a CM or even playing slightly further upfront I thought he looked good for us.

If we did sign him my hunch would be he would replace Derry, but rather than sitting in front of the back four he would be given license to be a bit more box to box, perhaps with Faurlin being more anchored. Another option would be to put Tabs and Smith on the wing and Watson in the hole. In any event it would be a nice problem for the manager to have.

Watson at Newcastle away was immense. If he can teach that level we have a match winner, but adel and ally are the best in the division at what they do!

Exciting times!

[G.T.P]

id go mental and get a sack the manager and board flag if watson came in and replaced our most consistent player derry and thats for certain.

Watson has been playing for Wigan Reserves.

Played against Man Utd 2nd Team on 18th November.
Was Unused sub for 1st Team against Man Utd on Saturday.

Checkout the Wigan website.

Looks like he's surplus to requirements there.

[Dazzer1977]

Think that's excellent news. Squad starting to have some real strength in depth for the run in

Spot on mate. Totally agree. The same people who moaned about Watson were probably the one's getting on HH's back. Watsons a very good Championship player but I would question if he could make the step up and be consistent in the Premiership?

What Benny said!

[qpr]

Almost definitely coming on a permanent deal in January.

Really ?
I'd be dead happy with that

[DelTrotter]

Quality player.

[acricketer]

Watson is rubbish. Did nothing here, does nothing at Wigan, won't do anything in the future. He had a short patch of good games which hid the true donkey that he is.



I thought I'd get the ball rolling on slamming players who haven't been given a chance or who are written off on a whim.

[Hertford Hoop]

Well hopefully if he comes he'll do well for us, I see him very much in the Rowlands role but who knows
