It also says that he has refused several times to sign a new contract, which from what the club have told us is not the case. So it seems they may be preparing to offer him a pre-contract but that doesn't mean he will sign it or even want to leave WiganBundesliga outfit RP Leipzig are reportedly ready to offer a pre-contract to Wigan’s Nick Powell in January.
That location talk was rubbish. He just didn’t want to go and sit in the reserves of a Prem club. His baby is a year older now and in a position to move. He’s at the stage of his career where he has to move for himself. He’s wasting away his career here and he’ll have released that over the past month as he sees just how far away we are from competing at the top end of this level.
He didnt write the club off. He just offered an opinion and I certainly wouldnt question his loyalty to the club. Just looking at our situation and that of Nicks realisticly. He may not want to stick around and wait for us when he can push on now to the top flight. Like I said if that takeover hadnt taken so long our situation could have been different.Well thanks for writing our club off. We might as well stop supporting the Tics now because we are heading nowhere apparently. If we are so poor why do you bother following the team?
Well he is, because his ability warrants a Premier League club or at the minimum a club challenging the promotion spots in this league. He’s not going to get that in the short term at Latics. That’s not writing the club off, that’s being realistic. What if he stays and picks up a serious injury which could ruin any chance he has of a big payday? His stock is the highest it’s ever and may ever be, it’s either now or never for him in terms of a big move.To say Powell is wasting his career at Wigan sounds like he’s written the club off to me.

Read my post again, why would he go to Brighton back in January when he knew he’d be in there reserves? Unlike now where he’d be pushing for a start.Realised that over the past month? When we’ve been playing top sides with half of our squad out injured? Not sure what you’re expecting tbh - hardly a fair reflection of our chances.
I can’t see Powell moving to Germany - you say location plays no part, but why else would he have personally turned down a big money move to a solid Prem club in January? We were further away from being in the Prem then than we are now.
Besides, I can’t exactly see Leipzig being a popular destination after Oliver Burke’s difficult stint there.

Whether you lot like it or not, football is first and foremost a job to these people. The club may come into it at occasions but money will always be number one, followed by the level of football. Can Nick Powell achieve his full potential at Wigan Athletic? Which IMO is regular Premier League football and potentially even an England call up. The answer is no as we are currently a lower level Championship club.
Oh and as for your Oliver Burke, I’ll raise you a Jadon Sancho, now an England international playing regular Champions League football. Nice one!
I don’t even think Powell will go to Germany, I think he’ll go to Celtic. Far more money, huge club with a massive fanbase, easy transport back to Cheshire, he’ll play every week, regular European football, easy trophies every season and in 3-5 years a Premier League club will come and take him back to England. Some idiots on here will still insult the standard of the football up there despite Rangers giving our first team a good pumping in July.
