Barnsley face competition for Wigan striker Arsenal, Rangers and Celtic have all emerged as potential suitors for Wigan Athletic striker Kyle Joseph. Barnsley made an unsuccessful approach to sign the 19-year-old striker in the January transfer window.

Crikey it’ll be purgatory on Latics site if we end up wi him . NExt time we play them it’ll be like a Maga Rally with not as many attendees but all the hate .
He's on a free, isn't he? Not sure what they can moan about when he's not committing to them. I also still haven't worked out why he's "in demand", he's only just in front of Helik for goals.
When Joseph got injured, Wigan brought in a 22 year old called Callum Lang to replace him, who got a few goals. Definitely should be in for him, purely to add a bit of competition to the Callum of the season awards
I think that Wigan were crazy not to take our decent offer in January, rumoured to be £500k. They will get peanuts for him in the summer by comparison. He scored against Spurs in a youth tournament and obviously made a big impression then. I suppose that Arsenal are just competing with their neighbours. He is also wanted in Scotland, which might be attractive to a player who has played for Scotland at junior levels. I don't think that we stand that much of a chance, but he will be wasted at either Spurs, or Arsenal and will get forgotten, or sent out on loans. He might do better with either Celtic, or Rangers, at both of which he would be likely to get the same amount of game time as if he came to us. 25% chance of his coming to us, I would think, but could still happen if we are still in for another striker.

Wigan is the 'pie capital of the world', so we should tell him about Turners. He won't get anything like that 'darn sarth'.
Yeah, would hate him to face the Freddy Ljunberg dilemma. He made the wrong choice and his career stalled.
