If we sign Kightly & then flog JP we will be back to square peg one the same as last year imo

www.wigan.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=289223If it's true, can't say it's a massive surprise. The breakdown in relations always looked terminal and there's no point him being here if he'd effectively be a spare part. And Wigan is local for him. Real shame, though, and it'd leave us needing another winger. I'd be far happier with Ethers going in an ideal world.

Oh dear, I just pray we have another winger lined up in addition to Kightly.
One of the leagues best wingers when he's not being a prick.
Such a shame if true, sounds like he really wanted to knuckle down this season (Not that he hasn't said that before at other places though)

U just know if he goes it'll be NSSJW and Shotts and no knew winger now that we have Kightly

He would be a massive loss to the club in my opinion.
TP seemed to have done wonders to help him and keep him involved.
Not going to the US was no great surprise because of his recent court appearances
Unless he has done something silly again it would be silly to let him go - I was hoping that he would re establish his place in the starting 11 and develop a great partnership with Crouch.
We should remember that JP did play a part in Crouchs wonder goal last season!

Fucking stupid if this is true.
Pennant on his day is by far our best winger. If Pulis is looking to sell then he needs shooting.

Not surprised but be gutted if this happens... Our best Winger by far and when he's on the pitch, no one seems to have more time on the ball than JP, and no one relieves more pressure on our back 4 or wins more free kicks for us..... He deserves another season... If he's still playing up after that... Then send him on.... If he goes and Kightly gets injured (not an unlikely scenario) its Shotton on the wing....  |

Great move. We all hope of him playing but in reality it is never going to happen and if he is a bad egg for the team then best for all parties.

Post by Onneravineet on Aug 7, 2012 7:25:53 GMT
I'll be gutted if he goes as now that Fuller has gone he is the one players look for on the team sheet...I suppose it'll stop me being angry when he plays Shotts there instead of him!
Hardly a fucking positive though is it!
If TP saw a winger in Shotton last year it'll be the same this. You know how stubborn he can be.

There didn't look any way back after his long exile from the team last year after the Everton and Crawley stories.
It was always a long shot that Pulis would fogive and forget.
Pennant was making some encouraging noises, but once you've used up your lives with Pulis, you normally walk the plank in the end.
Shame as he's a quality player who we'll struggle to replace.
If the idea is to muddle through with Kightly, Ethers and a combination of Walters, Shotton and Jerome, we're in trouble.

Hasnt he just been handed the number 7 shirt as well?.

I would hope and suspect its bollocks. Having said that he's a liability off the pitch so who knows.
As said above, on his day he's a quality winger, IMHO as good as anything in the division.
As for being a replacement for Moses, that's crap, they're like chalk and cheese.
Most importantly, we'd be back to square one with just two wingers for two very important positions in the team. Now that would piss me off.

This will piss me off if it's true. I know he's a dick head but he's a decent player. Does this mean 2 more in after he's gone? Sounds like a gamble when we could keep him and add one more quite easily. I'll only be happy with this is someone mint like johnson comes. So i won't be happy  |

Pulis really stubborn. Gutted if Pennant leave. Shotton and Walters probably the two first names on team sheet. Boring season probably.

Good move. Pennant has queered his own pitch and glad to see/hear TP is settling down the squad.

If you upset the stubbon baseball capped one, you always pay the price, be it in the best interests of Stoke City or not  Could this be the surprise departure, thats been muted by Dave? We need 4 wingers, unless we are going to change our stayle and we all know theres bob hope of that, so if true best get busy on the winger front and pray we land Johnson and or Jarvis |
