Callum Mcmanaman

We could with a quality right winger, I thought a mid table club would have snapped him up by now, but other than rumoured interest from Sunderland and Everton there's not much happening with him SO FAR.

Thought a bid from us would be unrealistic, but with not much interest from elsewhere do you think a bid from us could be a real possibility??

He played for Wigan in the premier so why not us? :malky:

Wasted in Championship.

He would be a great player for us, hut I doubt they would want to sell him, they will want to keep him to try and bounce straight back up, he will be important to them.

Worth a bid though IMO....

I'm sure he was ruled out for 3 months at the end of the season, so maybe that's the reason why there hasn't been a lot of talk of him moving clubs, he's definitely worth a punt though since breaking into the Wigan team last season he's ripped full backs up for fun, the FA Cup Final being the most memorable one.

He is the most prized asset at Wigan and a future England star that will turn out to be a far better player than Ince. He would have been the first player that Martinez would have tried to take to Everton and the fact that he hasn't suggests to me that he simply isn't available

We might have to teach him how to tackle though.

You don't ask, you don't get.

We might have already asked and been told so though to be fair

Would be an excellent signing. Quality player.

Would be the perfect replacement for Ince.

Rather unfortunately I live in Wigan and photographed six or seven of their games last year.

Callum Mac would definitely do a job for us and he is only going to get better. Don't get me wrong he is not a SteveG or Gareth Bale but he has some nice touches and can hit the target from 25 - 30 yards.

I saw him come about in the FA Cup when he played against Huddersfield and Everton.

This guy works hard and gives it everything against anyone.

He is going to go far and I would love it if we brought him, he is on different level to Ince.

I saw nothing wrong with that tackle, he clearly took a bit of the ball first and unfortunately, his momentum meant that he followed through and as the ball was an awkward height and he caught the Newcastle player on the shin on the follow through, it looked a really bad tackle. He could have broken his leg, but he did take a bit of the ball first so I thought there was nothing wrong with the tackle.

Getting back on topic, Mcmanaman would be a fantastic signing, he tore Jack Hunt apart in the cup and he's shown he can do it in the Premiership unlike Ince, but european football might make him out of our reach this season.

If there was any winger outside the prem I would jump at paying 8 million for it is mcmanaman. He was outstanding last season when he was given his shot. Especially the fa cup final where he ripped clichy a new ass hole. Malky sign him up! :malky:

Sadly this is not going to happen - WIGAN are putting a high price on most of their players.

They want over £12M for McCarthy - With Martinez looking to add more players from Wigan.

12 is probably trying their luck! If he knows a prem team is in the waiting I can see him trying to push his way out.

At some point in the next 2-3 yrs CM will be worth £15m. As an investment we cannot go wrong - even if we paid £8m now
