Vital Champions League
Andrew Moon from Pompey local press who reported accurately on Lowe's move to us said Naylor is done and just waiting to be announced.
Heartache non with me if players want to leave then good riddence i say good luck and goodbyeSome heartaches (although not as much as last season fire sale!!!!), in the loss of Joseph and Evans. With the exception of Whatmough and Keane, I am not sure that the players we are signing matches the caliber of players we have lost. I am a touch worried. All will be fine if we get Fraser and Grigg.
Then again, the players we are signing, are pretty much confirming that we wont be fighting a relegation battle next season, however, I can't see us pushing for promotion in the next 2 seasons like some are suggesting.
I sometimes have to shake my head, and try to remember we are 'Little Wigan', and League One is perhaps our level, with the Championship being our 'Promised Land'
Still early days though.

These guys now in control know what they are doing and are not muggs
At least we still have a great club and still our owners own the stadium,
The future is bright under talal and those in charge
Wait and see im confident in these guys they will do well
Could be worse having not got our own stadium and having to pay rent to use it and so on

It's more the potential of what could have been. I don't think his departure weakens us in any way for next season but it's a loss beyond that.Given Portsmouth finished in 7th and these are supposedly two of their better players that they wanted to keep im unsure why anyone would be pessimistic. Joseph barely played a game last season and apart from one good game against Burton and a decent performance at Sunderland he didn't do much. Evans injured for large spells and though he's undoubtedly a good player I'm not sure he's irreplaceable. Important to me we get signings in early to let Latics gel as last year showed how hard it is bringing in signings once we've started.

Hopefully we'll see others sign up soon and start refilling the conveyor belt of talent. I've seen a few people saying that McGurk has been promised first team action if he stays - it would be nice to get at least one win over the vultures now!
