If he did its likely means Quigley is leaving so you'd probably be happy.

Quigley would be in demand from the NL

Oldham would be all over him

Hopefully as he has no chance in the football league

Seen someone on Twitter suggesting Charlie Wyke has signed for us. All I can find

Wouldn't be overly impressed with this one. Last 4 seasons appearances are 15, 18, 18, and 10. He's either injury prone, or not good enough to play a lot of games. He was decent at Bradford but that was some years ago.

He was diagnosed with a heart condition after collapsing in training back in Nov 21 and was out for a good while as that was sorted. It fuelled the covid jab conspiracy lot until Wyke confirmed he'd not had any covid jabs!

Not sure where you got your figures from but he made 34 appearances last season for Wigan then Rotherham on loan scoring 9 goals according to Soccerbase playing on a pretty regular basis.

He'd made 17 appearances prior to the heart issue in 21/22 season then understandably didnt feature again that season. Was back for the start of the 22/23 season and he featured on a regular basis from August to November before missing a chunk coming back in Feb to feature a few times before the end of the season. From looking around him not featuring during the spell in 2023 was not down to injury but down to manager Shaun Maloney opting to not use him which baffled Wigan fans who saw him as their best striker. Some talk that further appearances would trigger a clause to extend his contract although not sure thats right.

From reading this article it appears the quick actions of Leam Richardson saved his life when he collapsed in training :-

Riddle me this - the same characters who've spent years telling everyone how supposedly useless Quigley is...

..now telling us how much demand there'll be for him?

Wiki lies but read it wrong, 15 games 21/22, 18 games 22/23, 18 for Wigan and 10 for Rotherham 23/24 so 61 games. Heart condition is worrying though, another Rowe?

Played way more than Rowe has and he's got a defibrillator fitted like Erikson has. Seems like a different situation to Rowe as he never seemed to get to bottom of treating his.

He is useless

But clubs will see 10ish goals from not a huge amount of minutes in a championship winning team and get giddy

Well he probably will have a few clubs in for him based on goals per minute ratio at the level he plyed his trade last year, but they won?t be any league 2 clubs

I still hope that the Yeovil manager was on the wind-up when he claimed we had paid a six-figure sum for Joe Quigley, but he has undeniably played a significant role in getting us back into the real League, and I?ll be forever grateful to him for that.
I can?t see why another League Two side wouldn?t take a chance on him.
