Think he plays more of a number 10/Dack type of role there though doesn't he?

Giles and swift look like they'd definitely chip in well with assists and the odd goal, but we're still be at least 1 short of a good centre forward to finish those chances! And as of yet there's not been any concrete links to any strikers in the past few days or more

To be honest i think the one and only plus point is that it's a reasonable fee considering.... But only if all the money goes towards new signings

I'm really hoping that this galvanises and motivates the team again just as the Fulham defeat did 💪💪💪💪It could be just the boost we've needed lately, really looking forward to smashing Bournemouth now👊👊👊

The sad thing is i doubt it's really a one of, so many young footballers seem to share the same horrid mentality, hopefully if anything good comes out of this it will be that it shows to other young players that this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable no matter who you are or what you do for a living (not that it should need showing!) You really do have to ask what goes on behind the scenes in football Accedmys that creates an environment where these stupid boys think this is remotely acceptable

If/when Rothwell goes we need a quality centre midfielder that can step right into the team if we want to keep up the promotion push, we don't have 'Tony time' to wait 2 or 3 years until the player maybe starts to come good (before then losing them cos their contract is expiring)

Sorry, i know this is probably not the place! But I've just seen and heard the news, photos and audio footage of Mason Greenwood 😡 About as damming as it can get! Unless in the very unlikely instance the evidence turns out to be faked, I truly hope he never steps foot on a pitch again. What an absolutely filthy disgusting boy.

I can just picture BB lapping the crosses up, maybe a big lad like van hecke getting on the end of a few of those corners also

Nixon saying a loan move for Wolverhamptons Giles has been made, looks a quality player, good stats playing for cardiff and can even fill the lb roll if both edun and pickering are out for a while

But unless I've missed something there has been no mention of Rothwell refusing to play? Mowbray said himself that it was his decision not to select him for the squad

errr no jimbo, I always give him credit when it is due ie. on the massive upturn in our form post the pathetic Fulham defeat(and the 2 years prior to that) nowhere have I read that Rothwell has refused to play, all I've read and heard from Mowbrays own interview is that mowbray chose not to select him because he 'didnt trust him'

Eeeek, I'm just going to assume that was sarcasm 😅😅

With folk like you the owners can never do right for doing wrong. And Saint Mowbray & cronies are complete innocents in everything 🙄

Hope I'm wrong but I can see Rothwell completing his departure with less than 12 hours to go on deadline day and the only incoming midfielder we can get over the line on time being fkin hedges.

Where's this figure of 6mill come from? I think it will be more like 2.5 - 3 tops.

Hardly exciting

£50 says he'll get a bad injury within a month of leaving and just become yet another ex rover never-has-been leaving for more money... that's never to be really be heard of again.

I respect the owners for standing their ground, just a shame they and our diffy manager cant be on the same page aboit anything. Cant see him getting a new contract in the summer now regardless of where we finish in tbe league.

Absolutely absurd that chapman still cant get a game (or even a bit of game time!!)

Not really a poll is it 😂 more just guess work. I'm sure we all know where we want him to still be for years to come! I understand he's at an age where he needs to really be trying to see if he can hack it in the prem, but with our current league position and his form this season you'd hope he'd be sensible(and loyal!) enough to at least see the season out with us before making any decision. (same goes for Leninhan and Ryan)

Even after 6 months of links to him I've still have no idea what hedges more natural position is supposed to be? Wide forward? Centre mid? Centrally Behind the forwards? Just seems such a totally 'meh!' player i Really dont get why theclubs been pursuing him so much for so long.... I'm Always happy to be proved wrong though if he turns out to be quality! Can't help think our pursuement (is that a word🤷‍♂️) is just our Scottish 'head of recruitment' John Parks trying to justify his position and knowledge of spl players

Long term if he does leave, just wondering if People think Buckley could eventually drop back abit and play in Rothwells role? Not personally seen much off buckley play live, still seems pretty lite weight but if he fills out and toughens up a bit more maybe...? And Dack could eventually regain his place behind the forwards (if he can stay fit and still play close to his past ability)

naaa never heard of him.

Gallagher is a waste of a squad selection if played anywhere other than centre forward. But still I'm pretty sure he'd easily score around 20 a season in the championship playing 40 odd games as the main centre forward

Sorry you lost me there a at Kevin de bruyne
