I'd take him for £5m. Nothing in today's prices. Just a question of whether Wigan have to sell. I suspect they don't at the moment.

Ouch. Getting mentioned in the same breathe as Ryan Harley. Tough crowd.

Ha, Harley was (is?) a player whose ability wasn't in question, but his attitude was, Never produced the sort of skills for us that he regularly displayed at Exeter. Maybe League Two is his level, or maybe he just didn't want to put the effort in that was required at a higher standard, and liked being treated like a hero in Devon.

I'm not saying Powell is a League Two player, to be clear

No parachute payments anymore, small crowds, they need the money.

They're top of League One and very near to being taken over by Chinese investors. Think it'll take a big bid before they would even consider letting him go.

He's always been a talented player, his attitude is the reason he is a League One footballer

Back to back posts completely at odds with each other. You have to love NSC

Why would Chinese investors take over Wigan ? I just don't get that..

Yeah they had a few years in the Premier league and won the FA cup but they are hardly or have been a hot bed of football, being stuck in between Manchester and Liverpool does not help.

I guess another western play thing.

Nor do I. They're not one of the clubs you would assume would be near the top of any list. Sun and Mail are reporting it as a Chinese group with talks are apparently at an advanced stage, and BBC said that any deal would also need their approval before it could be signed off.

The only logical reason is they are a fairly recent ex premier league team, with a relatively new stadium that needs no work doing to it other than cosmetic at worse.
Otherwise teams like Charlton, or Blackburn would stand out as more potential it has to be a fairly cheap play thing.

Pevenseagull · Jan 31, 2018

They're unbeaten with Walton in goal perhaps making the loan permanent would sweeten the deal.
Not that I want shot of Walton but he's too tall to be a keeper

I read somewhere that the potential buyers are a Chinese betting firm and the price is just £15m. So Powell is worth how much?

Oh ok poor Wigan Athletic then being used as a marketing tool, sad times ahead for them then possibly.

You'd hope his attitude has improved a bit if there is anything in this.

I wonder if that could impact their results at all.

No chance. Not good enough, made up agent talk.

Thought he was good when he last played against us.

Cowfold Seagull · Jan 31, 2018

See? I got lambasted on another thread yesterday, when l suggested that we could still do with one more striker. Yes ok, as someone said, we currently have FIVE senior strikers on our books, but bearing in mind two of those are Hemed and Baldock, we know that we can't rely on those two to score us the goals that we so desperately need to survive.

I don't know if Nick Powell is the answer, but at least he would be another option.

Because England is running out of teams to be taken over? Barnsley, for christ sake, were recently take over by a Chinese-American consortium

It was me. Nick Powell is not a striker.
