So to make that team a reality you need to pay off Amos Roberts (2012) and Darrell Goulding (2013 - who recently signed a new deal). You would get rid of a promising British forward in Ben Davies. You would put more weight on Mossop? And you would pay four large transfer fees for Scott Dureau, Keith Mason, Ben Farrar and Larne Patrick?
With respect - what planet are you on?
Isn't the 4th year of Roberts contract in our favour? If not I doubt he would want to spend the entire year in the reserves.
Goulding is a funny one as he hasn't done it for me and I have made myself clear about that, I rate Charnley and Marsh as better prospects and if I am to believe a lot of posters on here we have another speedy winger on the verge of the team also, I can't be that wrong with Goulding as why is a 2nd row preferred to him at centre?
I don't rate Ben Davies either, Ive seen him quite a few times and looks too much over weight and isn't in the same league as Prescott or O'Carroll, even playing in NL1 he hasn't set the world alight for me.
Larne Patricks deal ends 2012 and Mason 2015, Im sure if we offered players aswell as cash something could be done. Fielden is no spring chicken and Lima is a liability sometimes and with Coley retiring we need a proven SL prop with plenty of experience. Realistically there isn't anyone off contract who is top quality, there are only a hand full of Britsh props I would want at Wigan - Burgess, Morley, Mason, Lynch and maybe Scruton. He wanted to sign for Wigan in 2006 but due to Whelan and McMannus the deal never went through.
Farrars contract ends 2012, with him being 24 he coud be our right centre for years to come, Matt King only a stop gap for a season or 2 max.
Scott Dureau or Chase speak for themselves, I would prefer Chase TBH and have Finch at halfback organsing and kicking and Chase taking the line on.
