<p> <b>Wigan Athletic</b> </p> <p> <b>What does your club need?</b> We need a creative midfielder to replace Wilson Palacios and some firepower up front with just Hugo Rodallega at present. </p> <p> <b>Who would be your dream buy?</b> Gerrard would also be a cracking addition. </p> <p> <b>Bargain buy?</b> Owen. He'd get the chance to revive his reputation à la Emile Heskey and Titus Bramble. </p> <p> Who would you least like your club to buy? Mido (pictured) ? a waste of space. </p> <p> <b>Who do you want out and why?</b> Jason Koumas, a real drain on funds. </p> <p> <b>Best signing last season?</b> Maynor Figueroa. </p> <p> <b>Which signing do you wish your club made?</b> Fraizer Campbell. </p> <p> <i>Paul Farrington, editor of 'Wiganer'</i> </p>

<p> <b>Bolton Wanderers</b> </p> <p> <b>What does your club need?</b> A new centre-half to work alongside Cahill and we are crying out for a battling midfielder who can put his foot in where it hurts. </p> <p> <b>Who would be your dream buy?</b> Ribéry, I have always been impressed with him since we played Bayern. </p> <p> <b>Bargain buy?</b> Lambert, of Bristol Rovers, knows where the back of the net is. </p> <p> Who would you least like your club to buy? Barton (pictured) ? a good player, but fans will not forgive him for what he has done at other clubs. </p> <p> <b>Best signing last season?</b> Mark Davies. Still young, but has shown potential. </p> <p> <b>Which signing do you wish your club made?</b> Darren Bent is quick and knows where the back of the net is. </p> <p> <i>David Blackburn, season ticket holder</i> </p>
