Players in the 'shop window'

[Christies Child]

Wigan's new manager Paul Cooke has evidently informed a couple of his squad that they will not feature in any of his team selections between now and the close of the transfer window which sounds to me that they will be allowed to leave to seek their fortunes elsewhere.

Midfielder Max Power andstriker Omar Bogle are the players concerned.
