So you don't have a season ticket in the Blackburn End? I'm calling Trading Standards. FYI he's the best player on the pitch most weeks and will absolutely thrive with better players to pass to. He's tailor made for the Premier League imo.

You should see how invasive College recruiting gets in American Football. People snoop on all sorts of social media accounts for a hint at where a player is going to commit to.

Ask him if any shifty looking characters are hanging around Brockhall with a 20something in a tracksuit in tow - you'd be our new ITK.

It's his first job as a DoF and he's fully qualified for the role - everyone has to start somewhere and this was his next logical progression. His recruitment has been good considering his budget - unless you're one of those nutters that doesn't attribute the Championship's (and FA Cup's) top goal scorer and the 2022/23 Player of the Season to him...

Hedges is lightning compared to his colleagues.

He definitely shagged your wife.

I'm chairing a meeting at work and I've now suddenly got no interest in anything with this news breaking. What a sad day for the club.

Stupid stance. If they're genuinely offering £2m we should snap their hands off.

He's often the best player on the pitch - he's a creator, he'll shine with better players to pass to.

To be fair Hodgson didn't know how to manage England internationals so you could be right. (I genuinely hate the man)

I guess we'll see whether my source is truthful or not. 🤣

'They' being Palace? I don't think he wants to go there.

The rumour around me in the Jack Walker is that he's probably staying until the summer.

You'd imagine if the Indian courts blocked the money then the Venkys would have to sell the club.

If Football Manager is anything to go by, no they can't. The actual money changing hands can be done on the 'never never' (i.e. we'll pay you £25m, but it'll be £500k every 6 months until the amount is reached"), but the full value of the transfer goes on that current transfer window's books. Chelsea et al won't be short of the cash to buy Wharton, but like Arsenal with the Raya loan (with a mandatory option to buy in the next transfer window) they simply might legally be hamstrung.

I think you'll see more of that formation this season with our set piece frailties. JDT will want 3 CBs on the pitch as much as possible. Phillips and / or O'Riordan will be playing a lot. I assume they'll play JRC, Brittain and the loaned at WB.

I genuinely think that's only the second time in his life he's ever played there. Not sure why JDT thinks he's suitable for the role 'cos he's absolutely not.

He'd be a happier man if we'd got Newcastle away.

Not on the current salary he's on.

I'm glad he made the second save because he brought it on himself - palmed the ball back into the danger area. He got very lucky. The reckon Reynolds is worth over £300m - although I doubt he's willing to blow his personal fortune on a football team.

Stupid yellow card though - he needs to cut that out of his game.

He was crap at one stage - he needed a loan to get some games in as he was constantly injured. To be fair to him (and the fitness team) they've clearly changed something about his routine as he's injured far less often - he got a run of games and has never looked back.

It'll be like Hill's last game - they won't risk him unless they absolutely have to. Don't want him to get injured so he's there in an emergency.

Wharton is off then.

Of course not, Manchester is the best city in the country - but Cardiff is really lovely.
