Can’t believe he’s a Premier League starter. One that slipped through the net but didn’t think he’d reach such heights. Fair play…
Slipped through the net? Massive understatement. We had him on loan he then returned to his parent club thinking the loan would be made permanent as a formality and as each day of January passed the move never happened. Was this another one of Conway's fine moments?
He returned for the money they offered after being Successful with us.we were miles off on our offerings.
Wasn’t he surplus to requirements at Wigan in the summer when he came on loan? They had a bad start, changed manager and brought him back?
Me as well. Apparently it was all agreed. But Linton went back with a lower offer than what we agreed. Which by all accounts scuppered our deal and allowed Wigan to renegotiate and resign him.
Really wanted him to stay with us. Good footballer. midfield Anchor. always available. never wastes a ball. simple five yard passes allowing team to go forward. Puts in a tackle. reminds me of Gwyn Thomas......but obviously not as good!!
Think yourself lucky. We wouldn't have signed Connell, Benson or Russell if he'd signed. Every cloud eh .
