Im going to buy you now. Whelans message.

Post by Mar » Sun May 22, 2011 11:20 pm

I watched the celebrations of the wigan game an al habsi looked over the moon. Right before going into the tunnel Ali was talking to Dave Whelan an Dave kept repeating the words I'm going to buy you now. I'm going to buy you now. About five times. Don't think they meant it to be televised but it was an makes you think where does that leave us. Were definitely in the driving seat an can command a high figure. Whelan won't be held to ransom and I'm sure Ali would be happy there. So what to so buy or sell?

If we sign boatloads more fullbacks this summer I think I'll cry.

If Ben Foster is worth £10m then Al Habsi is worth what?
Pfffft.

He's worth about £40m to Wigan.

More if he turns England down.

£5m minimum.

If he doesnt cough up then make him our No. 1 next season.

In that case id Sell then. If we can get a £5m fee without affecting the quality of the 1st team then i'd take it. Bogdan is a more than capable No. 2.

Sell now and don't bother getting a pen against Wigan next season... Be nice if we could get something close to the £5 mill we lost this month...

Seriously - £3.5 mill.

For a keeper you've already tried out and are happy with - £5mill.

Give him to 'em for nowt, just get Whelan to bung Chelsea whatever it is that will make Sturridge play for us again next year.

Yeah, it's quite disheartening that we'll sell Ali and just about re-coup the prize money we've pissed away over the past month.

I genuinely think he wants to be a Wigan player, and wants to play for Martinez. That his choice, lets get some money for him.

Last night he posted a video on twitter of Wigan fans singing "Ali Habsi is a blue, he hates Bolton", waving the Oman flags and he accompanied it with the message "it's nice to see your fans like this".

And earlier a message about wanting his agent to sort his future out now.

I read it differently to others, the feeling is as stated above that he wants to move to Wigan and Bolton isn't an option.

Did anyone see Al Habsi coming for a long throw through a crowd of players not getting the ball cleanly and a defender scrambling the resulting shot off the line?

Had the defender not blocked that he could have been at fault for Wigan going down.

Not totally convinced by him meself. He's done well for Wigan, but I've seen him make a few mistakes and he comes for a lot he doesn't get!

I think he's absolutely brilliant and will consequently cost Wigan a fortune.

i think we should make ali number 1 rather get another 6-7 years out of a good goalkeeper rather than one who is coming to the end and i love it how you are saying you are not convinced by him he has been wigans best player this season and they only finished 4 points behind us are we all convinced bogdan can cut after all he's only played a couple games jussi has 1-2 seasons tops it's gonna cost alot more than 2-3 mill to get a keeper of jussi (in his prime) ilk
Never get into an argument with an idiot. i'll bring you down to my level and beat you with experience
