Jack Byrne

His first goal was quality.

In the two games I have seen him this season I can see what Wellens is saying tbf. He did very little to influence the games bar complain and moan. The fans I chatted to did say they were off days for him and generally was performing much better

Not all that keen at the prospect of him playing for Hearts. Would hope that he’d find a championship club

Fairly immature stuff from Wellens. He obviously know Byrne's loan isn't going to be extended so he's decided to have a parting dig.

The timing of Wellens' comments (a few days before the expiry of his loan) tells you everything you need to know.... It's sour grapes, pure and simple. Do you really think he'd be makimg those comments if Byrne was likely to extend his loan?

As for the questioning of his performance levels, he's been outstanding for Oldham. Himself and Eoin Doyle have essentially transformed them from cannon fodder to a relatively safe outfit. I'd imagine Wigan don't want him because there's already been a falling out there, and rather than risking any bad blood in an already winning side, they'd rather sell him to one of the many other bigger sides who have been impressed by him.

Hardly bad blood with Oldham, Wellens is just behaving like a petulant child because Byrne has decided to move elsewhere upon the completion of his lian, which he is perfectly entitled to do.

This is the kind of utter sh*te that often passes unquestioned here. Mind me asking, what bigger clubs exactly ?? Name a couple of the ''many other'' clubs.  And if so many of them are interested, how come they aren't queuing up to buy him right now, when it is reasonably clear Championship bound Wigan probably have no further use for him and would let him go at a reasonable price ?  Have Scottish moneybags Hearts, currently sitting in a safe 5th out of 12 in a one team league, simply outbid everyone for his coveted signature ? Pull the other one chief, no matter what way ya choose to dress it up, this lad is stumbling sideways between less than mediocre football outfits, and is as far away from a big club as the day he left Man City.

Im afraid i have to agree. I once hoped he was our next saving grace, but evidence has proved me wrong. Championship at best seems his level. Pity.

It's sour grapes from Wellens as he wants Jack to stay. He's been there best player with plenty of assists and goals from midfield . Look what the fans think of him for a real opinion on him. Seen clowns write him off because Oldham have supposedly let him go now aswel. Couldn't be further from the truth.
