Posted by Admin on Saturday, January 5, 2013

Wigan new-boy Roger Espinoza is just about to ``start out to business'' after his transfer from MLS outfit Might Wizards was rushed through over time for him to Bournemouth in the DW Stadium. The Latics have been getting Espinoza's trail since his outstanding performances for Honduras in the Olympic tournament last summer. And already Roberto Martinez has finally got his man, the 26-year-old midfielder is needing to get started.


Espinoza's last appearance on English soil looks to become a microcosm of what Wigan fans can get from your player, who transferred to north america when he was 12. In the Olympic quarter-final against Brazil at St James' Park, Espinoza earned a ovation for his tigerish display and scored an excellent goal simply to get himself sent off nearby the end of agonising 3-2 defeat. Espinoza collected yellow cards as part of his other two Olympic appearances, increasing the 5 he got while in the MLS last term, in combination with one red card, so evidently the midfielder will not be afraid to tackle and - suspensions permitting - should bring some steel to your Latics midfield.

The situation for Martinez though is Espinoza will have just twenty four hours with his new team-mates before being plunged into the English game. Striker Angelo Henriquez is usually likely to make his Latics debut having joined on loan from Man utd for any remainder of your season.

Callum McManaman is tipped for any rare start, while Arouna Kone can be purchased before going on African Nations Cup duty with all the Ivory Coast. Cherries boss Eddie Howe believes Martinez is the perfect model for aspiring young managers as the 35-year-old prepares helping put his side's 16-game unbeaten train on the road. Bournemouth are yet to taste defeat since Howe returned from Burnley to deal with the club for your second time instruction online October. That impressive streak has lifted them in the npower League One promotion hunt and right through to the last round in the FA Cup somebody in charge of in seven years. 

They visit the DW Stadium trying to find an upset against a Wigan side led by the manager who made his name playing a nice-looking model of passing football inside the lower leagues before making the step up. Really the only selection dilemma for Eddie Howe is which goalkeeper he's going to select. Former Peterborough keeper Shwan Jalal took part in their victories over Dagenham and Carlisle in the earlier rounds but has played second fiddle to the Cherries' current top David James in League One.
