it was his attitude. its one thing being cocky if your backing it up weekly on the pitch. he wasn't however.
You missed Pena then?
Complete and utter horseshit.
Im more interested in this WW3 signing mystery??
who started that?
Aside from the virtual certainty that this is complete guff, I’m guessing the reason Windass would be an option for anyone on loan is because he can’t hold down a regular place for Wigan, the side who are second bottom of the English Championship?
He's been linked with £500,000 moves to Bristol City, Nottingham Forest and Cardiff. That is some fall from grace inside 18 months for a £2.5m signing.
I wonder if he regrets leaving ? As much as I thought his attitude and effort was appalling at times I'm convinced Gerrard would've made him a better player both on and off the ball.
I seem to have it in my head that Gerrard wanted to keep Windass but couldn’t guarantee him a regular start.
I do agree that Gerrard may have gotten more out of him though.
Those three have had high end careers, international footballersI remember reading that post a few times before.
It's been said about Kenny Miller, Allan McGregor and Steven Davis.
I'm unsure on Windass though.
The problem with Allan for me, apart from the obvious, is when our team are out of possession, they work like %^*& to win the ball back as quickly as possible and show remarkable levels of fitness.
Allan simply doesn't have that level of attitude or fitness.
If you remember the pre Xmas game at Easter Rd, he couldn't get near our midfield mate and looked totally out his depth, resulting in him being substituted early in the 2nd half.
There's a reason he's playing for a mid table team.
Maybe Gerrard sees him paying more in an inside forward position? A bit less ground to cover there and he can provide that pass to unlock a defence.
Seems to be too much smoke without fire in terms of his name being mentioned for us behind the scenes.
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted or the post I replied to.Those three have had high end careers, international footballers
Eh, yes it does.That has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted or the post I replied to.
If 'he's shite' is really the best you can muster, I'll leave you to it.Eh, yes it does.
Windass is shite hence doesn't deserve another chance.
He's struggling for game time at a team who will be playing their football in the 3rd tier next season.If 'he's shite' is really the best you can muster, I'll leave you to it.
Questionable attitude and application?
Aye.
Shite footballer? His record in one of the worst ever Rangers sides makes a mockery of that nonsense.
Windass will be looking at how much our coaching staff have improved the likes of Jack, Kamara, Alfie etc and be f*cking gutted he left.
He would fit perfectly into our current system playing as an inside forward.
His Dad is a f*cking tool and has too much influence on his career.
Have you asked yourself why Wigan would allow him to leave given that they are heading for relegation? You're suggesting that they will allow their best player to leave on loan and go into the relegation battle with the "shite that surrounds him"?If it happens (and I don't believe it will), I would be okay with this. Kind of. I think.
Windass is a fud who thinks too highly of himself and listens to his da too much. We know this. But the boy did turn in some decent performances for us and in the season before he left, he banged in a right few tidy goals. As has been said before, he would potentially be really useful in our current narrow front 3 formation and personally I would be happier with him as an option rather than Barker, Ojo or Jones (although accept that Ojo looked better on his midweek cameo and JJ could still come good if him and SG can see eye to eye, which looks unlikely).
No idea why he hasn't done well at Wigan although their league position suggests he's been surrounded by shite. Maybe he would come back with a point to prove and actually listen to Gerrard and coaches with regards to fulfilling his potential? I also don't think theres any issue with his fitness or application in training as I remember interviews from last time where he was singled out as being first one in for extra work etc, think Murty (shudder...) also said once that his high intensity runs / distances were EPL level?
So aye...its crazy but on a six month, no commitment loan in January where market options are limited, i understand the thinking. And it might just work...
Surely no chance of this happening. Definitely a talented boy but very questionable attitude.
His song was brilliant to be fair. One of my proudests moments was starting it up in a Leipzig pub before the friendly
The only reason i could see him coming back is if wigan cant afford all the paymets. Happened with Craig Moore when he was at Crystal palace im sure.
The guy had his chance and couldn't take it, he just wasn't good enough for us.End of story.!!A player like him between the middle and front men would be good for games at home but just can't see it.

And of all the "wigan rejects" or "championship rejects" he's the only one to have made the grade, yes?Our captain was a ''Wigan Reject''.

It's irrelevant anyway as we've developed Tav ourselves. Windass didn't have what was required, we've seen him 1st hand, and he's not coming back.
That record is padded massively by lower league opposition in cup gamesIf 'he's shite' is really the best you can muster, I'll leave you to it.
