Dean Windass
No, I dont want the old git at Palace, but Premiership new buys Wigan maybe do...
Wigan 'fail in move for Windass' Wigan have failed in a shock £450,000 bid for 36-year-old Bradford striker Dean Windass, according to reports. Latics manager Paul Jewell, who worked with Windass when he was Bantams boss, is on the lookout for a striker after Nathan Ellington joined West Brom. His move for Windass, who has scored seven goals in five games this season, is a surprise considering his age. But Bradford have rejected the offer, leaving Jewell - who is also keen on Norwich's Dean Ashton - frustrated. Canaries boss Nigel Worthington insists 21-year-old Ashton is not for sale, while Trabzonspor say they have received no bid for Turkey star Fatih Tekke, who is also believed to be on Wigan's shortlist. Despite promotion to the Premiership, the Latics have endured problems all summer trying to land transfer targets. Scott Parker chose Newcastle ahead of them when he left Chelsea, while Sheffield United turned down a £4m bid for midfielder Phil Jagielka. Why are Bradford rejecting that kind of money for the 36 year old, and more to the point, why do Wigan still think he can do a job in the Premiership.

Obviously going for someone he can trust perhaps. Windass is still a very good professional. He's an absolute tank of a man, and is probably comparable to Horsfield.

Wigan 'fail in move for Paul Bodin' Bodin has played for 12 league clubs in the past 14 years Wigan have failed in a shock £450,000 bid for 41-year-old ex Palace defender, according to reports. Latics manager Paul Jewell, is a big admirer of Bodin, and has been monitoring him since his debut for Newport in 1988. His move for Bodin, who has scored 40 goals in just over 285 career games, is a surprise considering his age. But Bradford have rejected the offer, leaving Jewell - who is also keen on Jamie Moralee - frustrated. Despite promotion to the Premiership, the Latics have endured problems all summer trying to land transfer targets. Scott Parker chose Newcastle ahead of them when he left Chelsea, while Sheffield United turned down a £4m bid for midfielder Phil Jagielka. Why are Wigan prepared to invest in a 41 year old, and more to the point, why do Wigan still think he can do a job in the Premiership. SHALL I GET MY COAT???

They probably want a squad player that can 'do a job' for them when required. Much in the same vein as why we bought Andrews.

He's doing alright in League One this season so far.
I suspect, though, that League One always been the upper limit of his rather limited ability. Championship at a (very hard) push, but never could he do a job, even more so considering his age and 'fitness', in the Premiership. |

So they originally wanted Michael Owen but are now going for Dean Windass!!
Biggest step down since we went for Andy Preece after originally going for Kennett Anderson
