N'Zogbia has the skill and pace to be as good a left winger as there is in the Premier League. Wigan fans should be excited. (Although, one good season and he will be off faster than roadrunner).

We listened to to Bruce on the radio up to Sunderland. They were asking that how did they manage to attract N'Zogbia etc when they aren't in the same league as Man U, Arsenal etc. He said that they tell the players the truth as to what Wigan can do for them. If they go to Wigan and they perform well, then it will provide a platform for them to move onto a bigger club. And in the meantime they will have performed well for Wigan, and they'll probably make good profit on him so it is a win win situation.

Saw that, too. Impressed that he's being logical about it. Gordon's dreaming of the day a Rovers manager says this.

Correct. We need money and we cannot generate enough income any other way imo. The model certainly worked for us under Hughes.

The difference between us and Wigan now is that Bruce is being allowed money to invest in up and coming players, with the thought that the money will be re-couped and more.

Wigan also made a net income on its transfers in this window and Rovers were net spenders.

So don't let the facts get in the way etc....

I find it appalling that nothing was done to Boswinga at the time of the foul.... in plain view of the lino!~!!!!

In the Daily Telegraph today it was stated that as the assistant ref had clocked what had happened, and had done nothing about it, the FA can take no action.

I could understand taking Beckham to Asia or wherever, but are the Scots really going to pay money to see an Ex-England captain? He's getting booed by the sound of it.

No doubt the ground is full or thereabouts, but Rangers would probably do that anyway if a BRFCS XI turned up. I imagine Rangers are doing it for the money, can't for the life of me see what Milan are getting out of it, unless it's a testimonial as you suggested.

It's Rangers. There wouldn't be any Scotland supprters there.
