Wigan and Lee Evans

[Sean Thornton]

I thought they subsequently tried to negotiate that (unsuccessfully) ahead of the game in October?

Yes. Because it was originally specified when the deal was signed, as per the rules.

Indeed. Hence my original comment of “I doubt we’ve arranged one since”

Yes. But my post really referred to the sentence immediately before that.....

Lee Evans was if i recall utter dog shit.
He slowed any fast movement down and always looked for the pass sideways or back.
Can we pay Wigan to play him?

Can't play

"With the English Football League's administrators unable to process transfers until Wednesday morning, Wilder said: "It does seem strange, in this day and age, that paperwork can't get done on New Year's Day. But that's how it is. Lee is there on loan and, because he's on loan, he can't face us."

Whatever anyone thinks of Evans, can you dispute that he scored one of the best goals you'll see anywhere, let alone the Lane?

Anyone would think it’s a bank holiday or something.....

You’ve done it now, watch him get a hat trick.

The thought did occur, but frankly if we let Lee Evans score a hat-trick against us, we deserve everything we get.

Wigan manager Paul Cook is quoted in their local paper as being confident that Evans will play. Cannot see how bith clubs have different views on this, someone, somewhere is not being very professional.
