[Mr Blobby]

Palace have accepted £8.5m bid from Wigan.

Who will be next to leave the sinking ship!

Confirmed on SSN.

Not worth more than 5 in my opinion

Agreed. Good bit of business by Palace. Sadly.

They're MINTED. How do you think they got to the Premiership?

 

[Les Biehn]

Wigan have also got Ryan Taylor to step into RB.

So let's get this straight. Andy Johnson is good enough to be considered 6th best striker in England after Owen, Rooney, Crouch, Walcott and Defoe yet none of the top half of the Prem (Wigan apart) are interested?

Johnson to Wigan is a classic case of a team chasing a dream (in this case European football) paying over the odds for a player.

Fair play to Jordan, he's got £2-2.5mill more than he's worth and a nice war chest for Souness to blow.

Who to?

 

[Silent Bob]

Who to?

I don't think it's quite that conclusive yet but don't be surprised to see him holding up a Spurs shirt in the near future.

 

[Napper]

cant see him doing much for Wigan , he's shit

 

[crasher]

Diving off Wigan pier?

Diving off Wigan pier?

Too sadly true.

It's not done and dusted yet, though. Jordan's desperately trying to encourage a last-ditch bidding war. So he may still go to Everton.

I get the impression Johnson probably thinks he's better than Wigan - Premiership they may be, but they're hardly the high-profile "big club" he'd be wanting to sign for. Wouldn't be surprised if he stalls on the deal in the hope that someone else comes in and matches the bid, now that we know what Jordan will accept for him.

Wigan were originally offering Damien francis as part of the package, but don't think thats the case now
