Indeed. Embarrassing thread

Problem was that W***n signed Moran for completely the wrong role, they were looking for someone to guide them around the pitch but signed a strike player instead (probably because it was cheaper). The same thing happened when Salford signed Luke Dorn under the same delusion, they needed someone who could take some of the organisational pressure off Luke Robinson like Andrew Dunneman had done previously but couldn't be arsed finding that kind of player.

If whoever signed Moran had actually bothered to watch him play beforehand they'd have noticed that he wasn't that kind of player, but apparently they either didn't bother or they were just incompetent. Also, fans are often too stupid to realise that if a club signs the wrong type of player for the role they expect him to play then the player won't magically change into something else just to keep up their delusion.

Have we done the same with Dorn replacing Hill?

no. First of all dorn has a much better all round game than he is given credit for. Second pursham will be guideing the team around more like skully did with saints a few years ago

You have shown more understanding of the game in three lines than that entire thread on the Wigan board.

you make it sound difficult

I have seen some players at London who I thought were lucky to be playing for us, but I have never "hated" anyone. Even Ganson doesn't inspire hatred in me (although sometimes I think he trying his best ).
