The up front offer will give them something to think about. Suspect the admins will try to stall anything while they wait on other bids and the EFL approval of new owners, so hopefully we're still looking at other targets.
I'd often agree, however considering he's scored better than 1in 3 this season, and only Woodrow can rival that at present, I would assume he'd be worth a shot in the first team.
I have no idea how good he is, but 3 of his 5 goals so far came in one match, in December against Burton. Obviously, it's great that he already has a hat-trick to his name, but he has scored just 2 goals in his other 13 league games and 1 cup game.
Hard to judge purely on stats alone as he is playing in a rubbish side down near the bottom. If he came to us for example he could fit our system perfectly and score loads or he could be average. With strikers, a lot of it is down to service and confidence.
He only needs to be better than Miller and Schmidt to improve our matchday squad. Ideally, he'd be good enough for the first 11 with Morris and Woodrow, with Chaplin, Frieser and Vic on the bench. But never seen him so wouldn't know how good he is.
Watched a bit of the wigan game last night and he did very little, that said they were on the wrong end of a 5-0 tonking ( oh dear, nevermind), but you,d imagine if we are serious about him we would have had him looked at more than once...
Its hard to judge, we have Chaplin who has played championship football regularly over the last two seasons, but has only scored twice this season, but a lot still rate him.
That EFL hub account tweeted that we'd had a bid accepted earlier in the week, then followed it up with another tweet to say we'd gone in with an improved offer, which would be very generous! Wigan admins have been quoted in the press as saying the bid's been rejected and that half of it was "on the never never"
I wish the club could learn lessons from previous mistakes of signing these types of players that turn into costly flops. Jack Aitchison George Miller And now Kyle Joseph. We need someone for the here and now who can hit the ground running at championship level from the get go rather than taking gambles on experience and crossing their fingers in the hope that someone will eventually come good.
It's not like dealing with a normal football club as the Administrators will have their own agenda, so what seems normal for a transfer may not pan out. I know a couple of Wigan fans (decent guys actually) and they don't expect much logic from their transfer dealings
We signed him in August 2018 as an 18yr old. So I guess Kyle might be decent in the 2022-23 season then?
Wigan administrator said player likely to stay unless offers were for at least £1 million as that would give them something to think about
