Landzaat out for weeks

Wigan Athletic and Holland midfielder Denny Landzaat suffered a fractured eye socket playing for the Latics against Newcastle on Saturday at St. James` Park

This will be a blow to both Marco Van Basten, his national manager, and Chris Hutchings, his club manager after Landzaat`s early season form had been very good

With Antonio Valencia out for up to six weeks with a knee injury, Paul Scharner suffering a reoccurrence of the knee injury that kept him out for a long spell last season, Antoine Sibierski suffering from hamstring trouble, Landzaat`s eye socket injury, Kevin Kilbane`s suspension and no left back at the club there just might be a regret or two for not being a little more active in the transfer market.

The squad is already down to bare bones and the £20 million transfer chest safely tucked up somewhere in the cupboards at the JJB with the transfer window shut till January

Here`s hoping we get no more injuries and Michael Brown no more bookings

Is our squad too small or is it good business?
