Is he out of contract at the end of the season? And is Goulding, if he's been playing in thje reserves like i've been told then it's doubtful he'll re-sign.

Swap you both of them for Burgess?

Maybe throw in Tim Smith and Phelps?

So Carmont, Phelps, Goulding and Smith for Burgess? It'd be close but I'll have to say no deal

Fine you can have Coley and Mathers as well

Take Bailey as well.

Yeah, but, but, he's a good defender!

No thanks, we've already got an error prone FB and an under-performing forward.

All these players for Burgess, I'd still probably say no. Firstly, because he's the size of ten men

, secondly I don't think they'd fit under the salary cap.

Still doesnt do enough for his salary though does he.

Or was that sarcasm you sneeky thing.

Carmont is out of contract at the end of the season but there is a mutual option for a contract for 2010.

Goulding is contracted till 2010 with an option for 2011.

Is he likely to take extension?

carmont or goulding?

unless wigan are outbid i can see carmont staying here another 2/3 years.

goulding on t'other hand - wouldnt surprise me if he goes in search of first team footie. obv got ability but just not sure its good enough for top half of sl

edit -especially with likes of tim smith depending outside him!

Yeah he's a quality player, I doubt Wigan would let him go.

Goulding should go on loan..i would hate us to lose him

A year at widnes,leigh would do him no harm at all and would give him the confidence.

Yes I would think so. Family settled after two years. We have previously upgraded his contract because the club recognised his value after a fantastic debut season (Union were sniffing around

) and he only started playing at the top level in his mid-20's so his body will not have taken a beating and so will still have a lot to offer. I would be very confident that he will be at Wigan in 2010.

I am also confident so will Andy Lynch

Well I hope you are extremely wrong with that.
