Wigan after Mitch Clark

Also interesting nugget about the salary cap rising to £2.1m next season (extra £100,000). Should get another player on the cap?

We're going to end up losing Clark he should have been signed up again ages ago obvious top clubs would be after him when they could he's going to be a top player

If we let Clark slip through our fingers then questions have to be asked about Wells’ position.

[tigerfeat]

Questions should have been asked about that a while back

[old cas lass]

All Wigan have to do now is offer more money then what we have.
Why wasn’t he signed up months ago.
To slow to catch a cold is our club.

It took over a year from knowing Jake Webster was leaving to getting a centre replacement so no one will be surprised at this headline

[HuddsTigers]

The club may have offered him a deal he’s knocked back. He may have told the club he wants to explore his options. He may even be demanding an increase that we don’t think is right or is OTT.

Hypothetically, if he’s on say £50k now and wants £80k do you think he’s worth that extra £30k? For an impact sub taking up an overseas spot? I like Clark and he deserves an upgrade but I think there are limits. He’s not an 60-70 min player like Watts.

Wigan may be throwing the kitchen sink at him financially, in which case the club do right to explore their options too.

[tigerfeat]

It's all ready been reported on here and I for one believe it that he was only offered a "poor " new contract at cas
Unbelievable

[Bolton-tiger]

For me hes to much of a good player to let go.hes still only 26 so hes still got his best years ahead of him and hes only going to get better.if we lose clark and minikin who are both off contract and dont replace them with anyone better then for me the club has no ambition to go forward.id love to see mitch stay and play for cas because we dont have a player with his aggression in our forwards execpt watts.they are..lets say to soft with how the run but mitch throws everything into runs and tackles.big loss if we let him go

Gills wage would surely cover the increase in his contract.

We may be looking to bring a top class overseas player in. Whether it be a winger or whatever..... Clark is a class prop and about to hit his prime. Not sure where we go here as I wouldn't want to over pay for him now teams are interested.

Erm that would be a no ...

Clark should have been signed up ages ago, he may well have been and not released yet but i doubt it.

However as previously stated if Clark goes the club are an embarrassment.

Minikin i'd prefer to stay over Clare but again if he goes and is not replaced by better the club are going to find gates of 4k a pretty regular thing.

Don't forget though every player OOC this year is a target so means not alot really.

Why would the club be an embarrassment? How do you know we haven't already offered him a rise but he declined it?? He may want to leave leaving us with no option here.
It may all be down to him why he hasn't signed up yet, not us.

Mitch won’t be on £50k now and Gill won’t be on £30k - I think you over estimate how much players are paid. But hypothetically I get what HT is saying... we can want to keep a player but if he holds us to ransom should we give him what he wants or let him leave!? It’s not about keeping people at all costs, crikey there’s another 15 threads on here where we accuse the club of over paying players on new contracts.

Wo hang on a minute you said two weeks ago the club had only offered Clark a poor contract and we would be crazy not to keep him????

Because we should be looking to retain our best players.

We have Milo and Moors both 32 at least so wont be long before they are done. Clark is 26, massive, powerful and has aggression (about the only one other than Watts).

If your happy for the club to let him go that's fine each to there own but let me remind you we keep re-signing Maher but yet were ok letting Clark go......

Obviously don't know the in's and out's of the negotiations and its a story in a paper so who knows what's even going to happen with it. Guess we will find out soon enough.

You and your mate can try and put a positive spin on everything if you want that's up to you but don't try and suggest Clark wanted a shed load of money when you've all ready said he was only offered a poor new contract by cas

And it wouldn't surprise me if we have offered him a poor deal yet were happy to over pay the likes of Shenton, Holmes, Milner

Clark and Gill's combined wages will be under 60k.
