Got to take your hat off to IL. If he only made his decision three or four weeks ago he's done a remarkable job to negotiate a deal with Maguire in that time.

The star, Mirror and SMH all have the story

Only trouble is - They got that story from here !!!!

We all know that they just print any old cr@p that they can find on this board, and if the rumour is strong enough, they publish it as "Wigan are expected to.....{insert rumour here}"

I desperately hope that it is going to be a McGuire/Wane one/two, but I'll wait until Wednesday before getting (too) excited.

I just want to go to bed now and wake up Wednesday morning - I feel like a kid at Christmas.

I just really hope that I'm not going to be the kid that asks for a bike and gets a scooter instead. I can't handle any more disappointment right now.

I'm not sure. The Aussie paper carries quotes both from McGuire and Craig Bellamy. That one sounds very encouraging.

Maguire seems to be the one Wigan fans want if he does come in what will be expected of him?

The Visa issue is worrying

Agreed. So many transfers have come unstuck because of this recently. But if it is McGuire, and Wigan have set the announcement for Wednesday, then surely it's safe to say that it's sorted. On the other hand, maybe it isn't him ...

Its the timing of the quotes that worry me.if there from yesterday then it seems to still be a on going thing issue

Unless the club have been given full assurance that the visa will be granted.
