He's destined for Barcelona real madrid level in a year or so

We'd have beaten Spain if Southgate had the balls to play him over Mainoo.

Agree when Spain lost rodri they brought on zubimendi. Wharton is a far better player than zubimendi. We would have had control of midfield.  Mainoo is better further forward

Let's hope they either hang on to him until we get new owners or he's sold for £16m to someone.

Any money we make on him will just disappear and prop up the Venkys.

Is that just bad vocabulary or did he actually say it in those exact words? Only asking as it’s terrible English 

Hahahaha......."This am your Venky's representative on earth"

“Ss stated that no one knew Wharton would be a good player at youth level”

Is the quote in the minutes. You’d need someone from the forum to tell us whether there was any doubt about the context it was said in.

Quote from him from the last FF in the "real" minutes I think.

Anyone only has to watch him for a game or two to see that he's a more or less unique talent in that he knows who is going to pass to well before he receives the ball and pulls it off effortlessly. He doesn't need to slow play down by bringing the ball under control first or take a second or two to weigh up his options.

Never seen a player quite like him in that respect. Nearest was Tugay.

And sideways backwards never take a risk plodder Tyler Morton goes for £15m. If he'd come through Rovers Academy and not Liverpool's, no-one would even look at him twice

mainoo is painfully overrated,he only got in the england side ahead of adam because he plays for man utd,a bad man utd at that

Oh I believe it was said, I just get pedantic about stuff like that buddy.

[roverandout]

I've always said the dream England midfield is Wharton as the anchor rice as box to box and Bellingham as attacking midfield.  I can't get enough of Wharton.  I love watching him play.  I watch Palace games just see him play.

If the people at the academy could not see that Adam Wharton was a special player at youth level, then they are in the wrong jobs.  

[simongarnerisgod]

it took me 30 minutes to see that adam was special,he was playing against blackpool away and as an 18 yr old in his first full game he gave seasoned pro`s the absolute runaround,they could`nt get anywhere near him

Think that was the only time him and Dack played together.

It was no coincidence imo we won.

The gap between the 2 teams that night despite the scoreline was immense. It would have taken more than Wharton to change that.

Zubimendi is very good. Not sure Wharton is better than him yet. And certainly not far better.

Mainoo is not particularly good.

[den]

Wharton has something that only the absolute top players have.

Vision. It’s why he doesn’t need two touches.

You can’t coach that.

Yep, was at Bloomfield Road, you could tell he was different gravy.

Even the Blackpool fans, were purring about him, that night.

A very special player and it’s painful to think, how we wasted his talent that way, due to the incompetence and neglect, inside Ewood.

if venkys had invested in jdt`s squad,we`de definately have been promoted,keeping hold of wharton for another season and smzodics firing them in.2/3 more players that 2nd season and we`de have been in the premier league that venkys claim they want to be,which illustrates what a complete load of shite and lies they come out with

Maybe I was hyperboling

[Lancaster Rover]

Not sure where this nonsense about academy staff not rating him has come from. He was widely regarded as a generational talent, the only concern was his physical stature, as he was a late developer in that respect.

Its a quote from Suhail during the fans forum

So it then comes down to do you believe that he is being truthful, or not

I think most of us know the answer to that

Yes, there was a period of time under JDT where we absolutely outplayed every side we met. Think that was the only time since probably Mark Hughes time where i go into every game confident of a win regardless of opponent. Just imagine if JDT was given more resources, we would probably be one of those 100 points Championship teams.

I can categorically say he’s 100% lying on this occasion, he’s wholeheartedly talking out of Hoop

Just 5 mins of listening to that man leaves you in no doubt where the problems. lack of vision, plans and ambition have really been this last decade.

He knows nothing except cost cutting, penny pinching and arse covering.

Let’s hope his performance and the quotes he made, during the last FF meeting, now on record, mean he is finally going to be ousted.

He is a poisonous and dangerous man.
