if i was a wigan fan i wouldn't want him back. Jumping ship for a better premiership prospect before the season even began.
Nathan Ellington says he was left with little option but to hand in a transfer request at West Bromwich Albion. The Duke, as he is known, has had a written transfer request accepted by West Bromwich Albion. The 25-year-old wants to quit The Hawthorns and a move to his former club Wigan is high on his agenda. Ellington, though, is keen to stress that he has only made his request as a last resort. "I feel have been forced into this position to be honest," Ellington told skysports.com. Former employers Wigan have had a bid turned down, believed to be around £3 million - and that only adds to Ellington's frustration. "I already feel that they have set my price too high, they signed me when I was in top form, and yet despite the fact I have not been playing - the chairman deems my value to have gone up," he added. "On the one hand I have the manager who does not consider me good enough to start, but then the chairman feels my value has gone up - I just don't see how that can be the case. "I feel for the sake of me and my family that I need to move on, but I want to emphasise this has nothing to do with money - hence why I have put the request in and means I waive my rights to certain things. "The fans have been great and I would like to thank them for their support, but as I said I owe it to myself to move on as I don't see any sort of future for myself at West Brom." Ellington admits a move back to The JJB Stadium is a major attraction. "As long as somebody believes in me, that is the main thing and I already know Paul Jewell is one of those people," he continued. "I think I have played 90 minutes less than 15 times in the past two years or so, and that isn't good enough. "When you are signed for £3million, you expect to be given a real chance - but I just don't feel as if I have ever had that. "I am just hoping I will get the chance to make the fresh start my career needs."
Lets give it a try We should offer WBA 3.1 million and try to hijack him from Wigan. After all he would probably do just as good a job Collins John, and he would cost less @ 3.1M !!!
