Re: Carmont signed - offic...
i think he will be okay for 1 maybe 2 seasons at a push no longer than that...
will be good to cover our centre problem and a low cap signing, which is always good.....

We really must not speculate or give opinion on any matter unless it is totally positive even though it may be a very valid point.

He can only be a 'white elephant' if he turns out to be crap after he's been hailed as the next best thing and has cost us a fortune.Wigan Watcher posted:
So we have signed a potentially over the hill player, I say potentially because of his age. This is mere speculation but how many good centres do you know who are not going backwards in their careers at the age of 29 who play centre, I would say every player of this age playing centre has lost speed over the years.
I see another possible white elephant here!
He hasn't cost us much, and no-one is claiming that he's a world-beater. He's a squad player, that's all. Not only that, it sounds as if the money we've saved on him will be spent on another - slightly bigger - signing, maybe to be announced in the next couple of weeks.

Re: Carmont signed - offic...
I can only agree with most you have commented on. However any player that comes to Wigan that is no good is a white elephant in my eyes. We are talking about Wigan and in any position that we may find are selves in does not warrant signing sub standard players. I don’t pay sub standard money to get into the ground!Cruncher posted:He can only be a 'white elephant' if he turns out to be crap after he's been hailed as the next best thing and has cost us a fortune.Wigan Watcher posted:

Re: Carmont signed - offic...
Why so negative?, i personally have not seen much of this guy and will only pass judgement when he steps onto the field, from what i have read on his profile i think he will do a good job for us.
Give the guy a chance for gods sake.
