I dont know why but I cant see Goulding ever having a regular place at Wigan unless his form improves and he starts to knuckle and fight for his place and work on his defence.

On current form at the moment Bailey offers more than Goulding in defence and attack and even after that Noble would rather have Pryce and Phelps play in the centre IMO.

I think Goulding offers more than Bailey in attack. Goulding can at least make a break with a bit of pace. But Bailey is a lot more stronger in defence.

It would be harsh to see him leave and I don't think there is much truth in the rumour personally. I think a loan spell will do him good. A bit like Saints are doing with Ste Tyrer.

As stated 55 games is more than enough chances. He has done nothing whatsoever in his few games this year to warrant a place in the team. He has had his chance and not taken it nor has he shown any notable improvement.

I think your right there. He's had time and not shown enough for me to suggest he is ever going to deserve a first team starting place. I don't see what he offers to be honest. Not particularly fast, not big/strong, not got a good step/change of direction, can't pass, defence is pretty poor IMO

I think Bailey offers more mainly with his defence and he hasn't put a foot wrong in the last 2 games at centre IMO. Wouldn't be suprised to see Pryce given his chance in the centres once he has proved his fitness in the reserves.

If that doesn't work out I can see us signing a centre at the end of the season. Phelps and Bailey will most likely go, sounds like Goulding wants to go (no great loss IMO) we should also have a good chunk of the cap remaining. Hopefully Pryce comes good though

I'd loan him out for the rest of this year abit like Saints have done with Scott Moore and see how he gets on.

At the end of the year if theres a place in the team/squad for him then bring him back in. If not loan him out again for the season until we can find him a place or release him if he still doesn't look upto the job.

I'm sure there would be no shortage of takers for him in superleague.

I cant think of a club that would want him.

Bailey is playing very well at the minute and certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped. Pryce is definately further down the pecking order than Goulding IMO, if Noble were to choose between Phelps and Goulding, it'd be a toss up heads or tails.

They both offer about the same ie. not very much.
