Richie on Rlfans who seems fairly reliable has said we are after David Mead from Catalan. Could be a swap for Sam.

Richie who stated that Gelling wasn't leaving because he had told Richie while they where working together on Gellings supplement plan for this season, 2 days later Gelling was gone

Get you big licks!
I couldn't care less to be honest whether he signs or not but thought people may be interested.

Is it a sin to offer a positive?

Mike you are forgetting the £s he could get from renting out the home around Wigan. Of course if he has a good accountant he will be told to sell that off and buy one and rent it out in London!

A nice house, even a very nice house in Wigan, won't buy you much in London.

If his accountant advised him to do that he is not a good one. A million down there might get you a decent pad. With a risky return. One bad tenant in a pad of that value there can ruin you.

If he was only getting £187k a year why would he be a marquee player?

Marquee limits cap value at 100K (for a club trained player) or 175K otherwise. So 187K would count for less on the cap if he were a marquee signing.
BTW I didn't bring up the 187K value, that came from the 750K divide by 4 which others mentioned.
