    A name I've seen mentioned on Facebook, so probably no truth to it.

    Wigan striker, been keeping fit with them though is out of contract, but yet to sign a new deal and according to their forum, has confirmed he's leaving.

    26. Not prolific, but a lot of their fans seem disappointed he's going. Described as being a good hold up player.

    Again, probably nothing in it, but certainly one I could see happening.

    He's a decent player, capable of some moments of brilliance. Some of the goals he's scored are crazy. He's strong and holds it up well as you say and has a cracking left foot.

    Goal stats are not the best but he has played several positions in his time from up front, out wide and in attacking mid.

    Last season he played a lot up top and it was his best scoring season for a while.

    We don't have the budget to go sign some top L1 striker like Birmingham have etc. so someone like this easily capable of 10-15 goals would not be a bad shout at all. Offers something different to our attack

    Wigan fans say he’s got talent but he’s also lazy

    Would absolutely be a yes from me. Great close control, genuinely two footed and asleep mentioned an eye for the spectacular. He's a bit of b*stard as well, which I think we're lacking.

    Can also play out wide as well on the right and cut in on his left, so might give us the wide option that Clarkey mentioned.

    He's got a little bit of the Carlton Morris about him if I was to compare him to anyone we all know. Got the attributes for his goals to really sky rocket (a bit like Morris did for us).

    People said that about Devante Cole but he still scored 17 goals last season, so if you can do that while being lazy, I’ll take it.

    Definitely be a yes from me. The kind of savvy striker that we’ve not had since Morris. Hope the rumour of us being in for him turns out to be true.

    Ye but a lot of the criticism of Cole was that he didn't give us anything outside of the goals in the 1st half of the season. Most of the 2nd half of the season we looked like we were playing with 10 men.

    His name was mentioned by the lad on twitter that is trying to look as though he’s in the know.

    We did miss the Shithousery of Norwood.
    So the b&;£tard in him ,would work for me.
    Hate it when we win the awards for fair play league.
    F£#^ that let's win games and give the defenders S"'z

    I seem to remember him playing well against us at their place last season. Very busy, saw a lot of the ball.

    I think alot of the criticism of Cole was people had made their minds ip two seasons before or even after his 1st spell. Once made up people don't like changing their mind.
