Ayari and Chrisene would see a lot of minutes in this current squad - we'd be excited about them if they were our players.

Why would you want that cheating scumbag here?

I know of three season tickets that haven't been renewed yet and won't be until the club show some fucking ambition in the transfer market. This current squad has relegation written all over it.

If that's what it takes to get this cancer cut out of this club, so be it.

His positioning is very poor so he's not even bang average without the errors.

Especially considering he's played what, 30 minutes of football for England and you're going to be asking him to unlock defences. Baffling management.

Baffling that he's not brought Wharton on.

Mainoo might be a good player in the future, but he's not a patch on Wharton. This game is crying out for someone to start pulling the strings in midfield - Iceland have completely surrendered the middle of the pitch.

Judging by his house (and the grounds it sits in) that's clearly his idol.

Southgate would bite your hand off for one of those first three names right now.

Saka isn't fast.

Well he's about to play against England in a few hours so he can't be that bad.

I'd drive him there myself. I'd pocket some of the transfer fee as compensation though as obviously it's not going to be reinvested into the club.

He thinks he's qualified. The only one to notice that A. Wharton was an exceptional talent if you ask him.

He's said himself that when he was at Villa the manager told him to drift to wherever he could find space and the team would adapt around him. At City his maverick nature has been nullified by the structure.

I think they bought him so nobody else could have him.

Which DoF would you have appointed and how would he have significantly improved our team with a transfer budget of three jelly beans and a half eaten curly wurly?

Sell three starters for £15m and try to replace them for £5m? Might as well get that L1 early bird special advert printed early.

I'd be 'returning' my season ticket (if I'd bought one).

Is he?

Waggot getting rid of all of Broughton's people then.

To be honest I'd have taken 6 more months of watching A. Wharton and then bankruptcy if it meant these awful owners fucked off for good.

Must be nice to be a nothing London club and just cherry pick the best talent at 16 for free. Great system you've got set up here FA.

Whenever I hear my Man U supporting mate whine about them only finishing 7th I point at what the Venkys have done to Rovers. Soon shuts him up. As for Wharton - I fear that'll be the straw that broke the camel's back for many season ticket holders. It's tragic that Crystal Palace got a 20 year old, ready made England international for £18m - a Rovers fan at that - and we only got to see him play for his club for 12 months.

He's a much better midfielder than Alexander-Arnold. Gallagher is a useful utility midfielder, but honestly I'd start Wharton next to Rice. Those two with Palmer / Bellingham / Foden in front of them would terrify teams.
