Kelman can stay at Wigan for as long as they want him as far as I'm concerned.
Bloke Is useless. |
I'm completely baffled as to why we've extended his contract. He's not good enough for Championship or League 1.
If we end up in League 1 he wont be scoring the goals to get us back up.
Bewildering |  | |  |

Good move for him and us.
Hopefully he gets a good run in the team - which will either give some sell-on value or put him in a better place to compete for a 1st team place with us.
I think there is something there we will have to wait and see. | |

Sorry, I can't see how this is a positive move. Loan him out, by all means but extend his contract? The club should be looking to ditch as much of this abject squad as possible regardless of where we find ourselves next season and not extending the contracts for any of this half baked squad. | | | |

Warburton described him as the best finisher at the club. He has never shown us why but on the other hand, has he ever had a real run in the team? Marti gave him a couple of games where he didn't contribute much but maybe he impressed in training. | | | |

Do we know if it's just the club activating an extra year or if he's signed something longer-term? |
Kelman did not have a club option of an extra year on his contract. |  | | |

Kelman is not a forward; he's more of a midfielder, and that's why his passing is decent, but his scoring is zero.
He also has no pace, which makes him less of a forward.
IF Wigan plays him, we can finally find out what he's about ... big IF. |
Kelman is a striker, not a midfielder. His career positional stats are: played 74 times as a centre forward, 5 out wide and just 2 in midfield. | | | |

Have always assumed that too. They must have a reason to continue to wonder if he can do it at a level below, and now more reason than ever.
Presumably the idea is to try to get him used to League 1, and if he can produce keep him if we find ourselves down there. If not try to come up with a deal to get him off the books.
Not that we can afford it I know, but he's got to be on a low wage shirley? |  | | |

My Gills supporting mate wasn't impressed when he was on loan there, said he was very inconsistent. |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

He’s a forward so has to earn his opportunity of a run of games by scoring a few goals which unfortunately he has not even looked like doing during his appearances.
Fingers crossed he’ll get a run of games at Wigan: hopefully we’ve managed to insert a clause forcing them to play him like we seem to get lumbered with when we loan players in….. |  | | |

I don't want to be overly cruel but few things say 'we expect to be in the division below next season' like extending Charlie Kelman's contract. |
You are not being cruel you are being honest.

Kelman has been signed, played, sent out on loan, played, sent out on loan and we still extend his contract as he is the best finisher in training.
Come on our club, wise up!!! |  | | |

It’s probably what we should have done at the start of the season. New contract after a good loan spell in League 2 and loaned out to a League 1 side. |  | | |

I feel like at this point, through their own fault, that the club could announce that Kelman has started shitting gold bars and it would be met with cynicism. |  | | |

Could it be for accounting reasons, we paid a fee did we not so he has value as an asset on the books so by adding a year on that fee and value stays higher? |  | | |

Devil’s advocate, but if we didn’t renew his contract and went down we’d be equally annoyed having to find a new striker at the last minute.
A bit like Hamelainen, I see it as a bit of a cheap (I assume) insurance policy. |
Not really. He's not even league one level i'm afraid. |  |

If I told you I was shitting gold bars and you could buy one cash up front, I reckon you'd be cynical, wouldn't you?
Because if not, I'm....... | | | |

He’s better than no striker which is a real possibility. | | | |

I wonder how they'd have to enter this into the accounts though ?!
I'd love to see the look on the auditors' faces...or should that be "faeces"  | | | |

Niko went to Rio, LA, and Italy.
Chuck's gone to Gillingham, Leytonstone, and Wigan. From one of the players' perspective, I can see how they might not see it as a case of history repeating itself |  |

Yes perhaps could spread the amortisation of his fee over a longer period thus reducing our loss this year? I have no idea just speculating... | | | |

Isn't that one of the problems that we've had over the last few years? Let's just extend the contract because he's already with us. |  | | |

Les was allowed back into the building to clear his desk and managed to sneak in one last contract extension. It’s the only explanation. | | | |
