So Mowbray is lieing when he said Joe asked not to play?

He said we had turned down bigger offers than Bournemouth and he wasn't going anywhere. Even credited the owners over it

You really believe a player would give "110 percent 2 days before window closes and made it clear he is off?He will know the contract on offer. It's in the telegraph he asked not to be considered

The manager went in front of the media on Thursday and stated Rothwell wouldn't be sold.He also stated that Rothwell was fit for the match. One can only presume Rothwell went to the manager and made his feelings clear between that interview and Friday morning. It's on Rothwell

Any team who lost 4 key men like we did wouldn't be at their best. If you can keep a clean sheet you always have a chance.

How much is he on a week though?Id bet more than what we pay . If we could get him In would be a quality addition. Think Styles at Barnsley could be a shrewd replacement.

Thats what I said. But the money won't be close to paying off his contract.

You don't pay the whole contract up. So a player who has 2 years left at 50k a week and he is out of favour club sell him for £10 million and pay the player the remaining 2 years at 50k a week?That isn't how it works in football. The player will be due a loyalty bonus but not his contract paid up.

If it's 6 million and Premier league take the money and move on.

We are missing 4 starting players, hopefully some new signings too it was gonna be tough without Rothwell, Khedra, and Brererton most teams would be impacted by missing 3 key players and best left back

We badly need a couple of decent attackers before deadline

A mixture of both according to this

West ham considering Rhys Healy according to sky

Orsic turned down Burnley according to reports

Did I say it did????

When did that happen?being linked with a move here yesterday

Bigger than Boro the other night?

Sorry man expected the next couple of days to be about arrivals but now facing losing one of our better performers potentially to a promotion rival has annoyed the shit out of me. Fingers crossed this will be just another Nyambe to Leeds etc

In fairness earlier I wasn't buying it at all but it's the amount of people saying he wants out now.Still not believing it though. Sad state of affairs we will have to wait until TM speaks after the match as whatever is written by the local media will be guesswork

Duh.I was saying I won't believe there is any back issues if these rumours are true.

No it's these rumours that he asked to leave and this is why he isn't in the squad tomorrow. Mowbray said he was fit the other day. At the minute I'm not buying these rumours but it is worrying that Unleaded who is reliable hinted something in it

It's 4 months.There is absolutely no guarantee whatever move he makes will work out.We are playing much better than Bournemouth at the minute.If we were to get promoted do you think our offers would stay the same ffs? And if he continues to perform then he will have no shortage of offers in the summer . And don't give me that about he might get injured.There are loads of players coming to the end of their contracts,why ain't they demanding moves.You telling me we have had zero interest in Lenihen and Nyambe? You sign a contract you respect it.End of

My point was if these rumours are true and 24 hours after the manager said he wouldn't be sold with us sat 2nd in the table then I don't believe these "back issues". Guess we would see how quickly he made his debut for his new club.

At the start of the season we were a mid table side going nowhere fast we are now second in the league? What was all that stuff about enjoying his football from Rothwell the other week so?

So I guess he will fail his medical then?
