Latics midfielder JP Kalalas is still on the books after being made available for transfer at the end of last season. With no offers coming in, he has returned to the club for the start of pre-season training along with the other players.Manager John Sheridan has praised his attitude and told Latics World, "JP has worked very hard in training since the lads came back and he's a credit to himself. He has one year remaining on his contract and I've made the situation clear to him. I don't hide behind things - I've told JP the way things are, and that means I'd listen to offers and if he got an opportunity to go somewhere else I wouldn't stand in his way. As a manager I have to make harsh decisions sometimes if I'm to bring other players in. JP knows where he stands and we'll deal with things as they arise."
