cornishblue Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just seen on the official site we have a midfielder of this name. First team profiles page. Not heard or read anything off the site or from on here about him. Quick search of the internet and Wigan just paid 300K for a lad from Hearts. Has he been loaned straight to us? Any ideas?

Dave_Og Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Presumably stems from the BBC reporting that Latics had signed him; official site updated by some outsourced service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Fair to say it's not very reliable. Apparently we have a midfielder called Francois Antoine who was born in 1901 on the books. Will age and experience win against youthful enthusiasm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Wigan’s OS is powered by the same web software as ours. As dave og said it’s probably a 3rd party who’ve updated the database with the wrong Latics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them are showing that date of birth, presumably because the 3rd party administrators of the site didnt have their real DOBs when creating the profiles.

Turned out that same game as Boyling, Hamer and Sheridan when we were down to the bare bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Heck C-Beck Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What’s happened to the youth team? Not heard of any exciting prospects coming through for a while now? Anyone to keep an eye out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If the updating is outsourced it is strange that they can add Jamie but not show the Peter Clarke loan move. Poor service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen hamer twice and thought he looked promising at right back/ wing back. Tall. Quick, aggressive and gets forward. Is he 17? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not lazy. a) Sam Roscoe doesn't work full time for us. b ) Roy and Mike L are part time too c) It's only really Luke on his own, and I don't know if he is full time or not d) Things of the nature you have said will be strictly controlled, and Luke won't publish of his own accord in many cases. f) Especially with the current registration difficulties, we won't be publishing as early as possible, it will be as late as possible. This may change in the future. f) You've omitted the loanees, who had videos very quickly up after the announcements. The current takeover/financial issues are having a huge bearing. We're not in the Prem with a large media team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
