Nixon saying on his bluesky account that Wharton has to make 5 competitive appearances for England before we are due anything from Palace

Its a bizarre argument. People presumably think we should have got a bigger initial fee ASWELL as add ons. Those add ons arent part of a masterplan as opposed to a higher fee. And had we waited longer and not been as desperate, chucking him out the door in the less busy winter window, then he would have been worth more, however it was structured.

Didn't do much.

Maybe one of Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone or Keira Walsh?! How Rovers women have also fallen...

Funny how they came to our message board and posted it on theirs 😂. Rent free in their heads honestly. Petty preston.

Pretty sure it would be Phil Jones.

Great to see glad for the lad 🦾 I know he doesn’t play for us anymore and I know some aren’t happy about that but I will always consider him one of our own thinking about it, when was the last time one of our own youth players made it to start for England? In a competitive game too! can’t have been for a long while?

Also true, but it was Mowbray dropping him that made him want to leave and eventually move on to Brentford. But then again we did use the money from that sale to buy the goal scoring colossus that was Sam Gallagher, so it all ended well 😉

With the opposition ?

Forgotten all about him. I do remember Raya wasn't getting a chance until Mowbray picked him.

I thought Wharton was not involved very much, it was like watching BBD when first playing for Chile. Nobody wanted to pass to him.

Well, typical display. Picked up a bit of a harsh yellow, but he should be pleased with his performance.

How did he play?

Don't forget the dark days when he dropped Raya for Leutwiler

Thought it was Mowbray who gave him his chance?

Ok. I thought the Arsenal sell on was widely reported as £4m. Point still stands though, as with Wharton we gave him away ridiculously cheap initially, in that instance primarily because Mowbray didnt really rate him.

Great assist by er Rashford

£3M up front, £5M from the sell on, and there was another add on when he made his debut for Spain, not sure what that amount was,but pretty safe to say it was over £9M in total

Lol. Famous last words! Kane again.

Wharton off for Chaddy's hero Anderson. I know he's just scored a scruffy goal but I can't see the point in playing Kane every minute of every game. We know he's a shoe in for selection and we're very over reliant on him if he were to pick up an injury. Others should be getting some minutes and experience. Rashford just cleared the penalty area with a cross. Im not a fan of his at all.

We didnt get anywhere near £10m for Raya did we? I thought it was £7m in total. £3m sale plus £4m add on.

Not one Rovers fan thought we'd get anywhere near £10 million for Raya. Bellingham was a higher fee when he left Brum, but only a 5% sell on.
