Apart from Mowbray telling the media we were close to a foreign forward you mean?

The post I quoted

Prior to Rothwell joining Bournemouth they said we were close to a foreign striker and other players were being targetted? Why has that changed?

Hopefully the manager and transfer team haven't just been working on targets on the belief Rothwell would be sold Really need 3 or 4 in today

Wolves called him back due to the covid situation in their squad. Cardiff wanted him back

And according to them nothing changed with Rothwell. They don't know what we are doing.

Maja has played 45 minutes this season.

That Giles is good at set pieces.Set up a few for Flint.Need more goals from our 3 centre halves

But why wasn't he getting interest elsewhere because prior to parts of last season and this he wasn't showing the form to deserve interest or a big pay rise. Look at his stats.Im a fan of his think he is talented but after the initial buzz when he first signed I quickly got sick of him taking a few players on getting me off my seat and it leading to nothing. Fair play to him this season he has started making better decisions with his final ball and his numbers have improved. Bournemouth will pay him a wage that we can't afford without having every other team member knocking on the door for a pay rise. If Rothwell had been put on the transfer list summer before last we would have been getting bids around the £500k-£1 million mark

He has had a contract on the table according to the club and chose not to sign it. Maybe at the time that contract it was offered it was fair as he wasn't showing the form worthy of a mega rise. And now the form he is showing has made what he can get elsewhere unaffordable for us. It's shit like agreed and I would not be selling to our rivals but up until parts of last season and this he wasn't showing the form worthy of a contract in excess of 10k per week.His contribution prior to that was minimal

Bournemouth fans would be saying the same if they looked at Rothwell stats prior to this season. He is here now and cost 200k ,let's see how he gets on before we label him

Might be match fit by the Bournemouth game

Think tomorrow will be busy but I'm hoping some quality is coming in not all kids on loan Freeman would be a good signing if that's true but need someone more dynamic to replace Rothwell Giles for me would be a quality loan addition until Pickering is back he solves the wb problem and be a fight then between those 2 for the shirt if Giles performs whilst Pickering is out

Lads those wages won't be accurate, loads of similar sites have differing wages. Like few I looked at other week had Dack 18.5.Gally was on 20k at Southampton and he dropped it to 13 to come here?It was 2 or 3 years he had left on that deal

Reading been deducted points and they are/were under some sort of transfer restrictions I think

And could get it with us in 5 months. I think he is a cracking player but he has been performing at a high level in this league for quite a while and no premier league club has taken him in that time. His wages will rule us out though anyway

People keep saying the Armstrong money went toward Ffp it isn't their fault you don't accept this. Agreed though surely we should have some money now to get some in. Rothwell should have been kept and if he wasn't giving 100% made to train with on his own. Daftest thing ever selling to a direct rival even if the decision had been made to cash in then tell Joe it's a team abroad or premier League. Depressing stuff when we are sat 2nd in the league

You have heard Curtis? He isn't good enough

He would presumably be playing left wing back He wouldn't be the Rothwell replacement. Giles far more talented than just be seen as a squad man

Nixon saying we have enquired about Giles from Wolves.Was on loan at Cardiff

Maja having a medical at Stoke.Loan

Nixon saying McBride could be going Charlton permanent deal

How many do expect in tomorrow if you don't mind me asking?

Rothwell to the states?Seen Nixon saying Chicago are in for him

Yeah I agree that Rothwell has been class this season and last season not bad either but he his numbers certainly haven't been class over his time at the club. Ye can't blame people for being totally pissed off with the situation when we have had years of shit and finally in with a chance of getting out of this league.Maybe if these "back injuries" occurred earlier in the window people would see his point of view more. If I was his teammate I'd be fuming.I find it hard to believe been zero interest in other players at the club don't see them crying off
