Anyway, Gary Caldwell's defensive displays have been pretty impressive since he joined up, James McCarthy has bags of potential and ditto for Victor Moses. Mo Diame and Hendry Thomas are looking pretty solid in midfield too.
As for the worst, while he hasn't been terrible, Jordi Gomez has been disappointing after a promising start. I can count a few times when he's come off the bench and totally disrupted our flow. As for Jason Scotland, if you put a dead body in the opposing penalty area, statistically speaking the ball will hit it a few times over 90 minutes. Frankly, that's more than Jason can manage.
And, while he's not new, watching Charles N'Zogbia's emergence as a player this season's been pretty good viewing.

The impressive thing about Wigan`s transfers are without doubt their latin american connection: 3 Hondurans (Palacios, Figueroa, Thomas) and a Columbian (Rodallega) and an Ecuadorian (Valencia) have all passed through the team in recent seasons and have been a success in the English game, a pretty impressive achievement given that the English game is so much faster than what they`re used to.
