Yes and at 27 has been around a bit - Rochdale have signed a 22 year old from Maidenhead who was in the NL team of the season and a couple of 19/20 year olds. Can work both ways but they more chance of developing into potential sell on types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I'd have thought we would utilise the loan market in the next couple of weeks, especially once the season gets underway. The majority of clubs like their players to complete pre-season with them before allowing them to out on loan but once the season starts I think we should be able to get one or two in which will hopefully fill out the squad with a bit more strength in depth. Add Norwood, Garner and Kay to that, we should have at least 16 players more than capable at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggleblue Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Lyton chapman former oldham junior. Right back. Joined in a couple of Wigan games by mistake as a trialist and played so well they've given him a contract! Does B. P know anything? How did we miss this? All this according to Twitter.

Llyton, after 2 years being a scholar with us, was offered a further paid year. He was soon deemed not good enough for the first team along with Jake Forshaw, Oliver Kilner, Kofi Moore and Frazer Cookson. There’s no doubt Llyton had potential as he racked up a number of appearances with Chadderton FC, winning man of the match in his first game then going on to win their player of the month in his second month. From January onwards he spent his time training with the first team squad players deemed not good enough, coached by nicky adams. along with the youth previously mentioned, the likes of nuttall, reid, shelton and many more trained in this group. Llyton played the occasional match for our U19s youth team but never particularly stood out from the rest. It is expected that he will be a part of Wigans u21s and not their main team, although, who knows what might happen if he impresses and builds on his potential.

He's not pulled up any plants yet. If we're going to get al chest-beaty about missing out on a player who has got a contract with an U-21 team it's going to hurt! Who was the last youth player we released that went on to have any sort of significant career at a higher level? Can't think of any.

It's often the case at every club only 3 youths are taken on so the chances are some may make the grade elswhere, this is why so many emerge from non league to progress back into league football. I'm always on the lookout for these hidden gems. I don't recollect Lynton Chapman, but there's an 18yo left back released by Stockport Freddie Walker at Stalybridge on a dual registration with Droylsden who is definitely one I'd have retained as he's so much ability to work on and IMO could well be back in the EFL before too long.

Probably thinking he's only one injury/suspension away from getting back into the first team. Maybe he wants to make sure he's on the scene when Mellon gets sacked after we lose the first six (tongue firmly inserted in cheek), potential caretaker manager? I don't mind him being around the squad, he's a very good professional and example to younger players, will demand high standards in training.

Can't imagine him wanting to shift the family too far at this stage of his career, especially for a loan move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Hogan is an important one to shift on. Not just because he can’t pass out from the back and looks like he has an error in him every game. But because he is no longer captain and it must be a slightly strange dynamic for Conlon still having him around the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Huge mistake by someone allowing him to trigger another year, from a business point of view as well as the fact Mellon clearly doesn't fancy him as either a first choice player or as a captain, he's more than entitled to pick his salary up this season but his opportunities are going to be very limited, I certainly wouldn't want him to come in to the team at the expense of bringing youth through.
