Depends what wage he's on. I wouldn't mind keeping him, on his performances this season, but not on the salary he has been allegedly getting up to now. If he'll stay at Wigan on a reduced salary, then fair enough. He played well again tonight.

it says aus$ 2.2 million over 4 years in the article-that works out at roughly £234,000 a year if my calcs are correct at 1:2.35 rate

that is ridiculous for a winger, and not even the best at that! sounds a bit suspicious to me- which teams have that sort of money and havent got a decent set of wingers already?
Most of the time he plays in the centre, where he's regarded as being pretty damn effective.

I don't know whether at that price he'd be worth it in the long run, but he's the sort of signing that puts bums on seats.
'Tall, gangly, and thats about it King'. If we are to go forward as a club and a team we need better signings than Matt King, he'd be beter served as his namesake at Emmerdale.
