WIGAN ATHLETIC BOUGHT HENDRY THOMAS! but until he plays five games for the national team of honduras, he can't get a work permit in England. So they bought him and are going to loan him out. He
is currently on trial with Monaco of France 1st Division.

Wilson Palacios is the best on the team! He is bound for great things! Steve Bruce is the best coach! He should take over after Sir Alex Ferguson... Steve Bruce avoided relegation and made the
team better than ever with the help of our hondurans... Maynor Figueroa, Hendry Thomas and especially Wilson Palacios.
