Pleased to see Erik Edman back

comment on the article

after injury. He missed the Euros for Sweden and Sweden missed him. Hope he does a good job for you Wigan fans.

Since recovering from his injury he's played a number of games in the reserves.

In yesterday's Spurs v Latics match at White Hart Lane he replaced Kapo in the 84th minute so it looks as though he's now ready for first team action.

He started to show his class when he got injured. If he picks up that form again he will easily push for a regualr place.

ecstatic that he's back. Figueroa has has seemed a bit lax recently so the competition will be good for them both. Personally I'd rate Edman over him but I think they'll push each other to better things

can't wait to see Edman back in the team. I don't rate figueroa at all, probably our weak link in defence this season. I think Bruce will definately pick Edman over him when his fitness returns!

Edman is a class act. He looks comfortable on the ball and he reads the game great at the back. Personally prefer him to Figeuroa who i'm not a massive fan of. He seems to not be able to control or pass the ball. He gets away with his bad positional play because of his pace. When Edman signed last season the defence looked a lot tighter and more organised.

Edman is a true left back. Excellent positioning and calm under pressure. Figueroa is more of an attacking left-back but needs to improve his position play.

Play Edman against the strong, attacking teams and Figueroa where we need to attack from the back.

Options on the left? Whatever next.

Never understood why Spurs let him go. He is much better than who they have had in since.
