He’s at home with us @LaticsOfficial and he knows it, he will get slaughtered anywhere else, we can laugh and applaud him, because of the once every 10 or so games he shows that touch of magic. Be very careful Nick !!!#WAFC

Celtic and Rangers want Powell? If he has to go I hope it’s to one of those two.

Watching him stroll around in an Old Firm game, giving about 15% effort and the fume/rage it would cause would be superb.

Anyone would move from Wigan to Rangers. You can’t lump the Old Firm in with the rest. They’re on a different level considering they can attract Premier League players (more Rangers as opposed to Celtic because of Gerrard).

We’ve had a real loser mentality the last few years, something Gerrard has worked hard on, he’s put a spine into players that had nothing. Can’t see anything in the Powell story though with us just signing Defoe.
