He contributed, the goals and assists show that but he wasn’t a particularly good player and playing at a higher level this season he would have struggled.

The message board meltdown would be on a biblical scale.

If he's managed to put together a reasonable argument for that, then its almost commendable.

Hopefully.

I can't see it taking too much to push us over the edge with regards to FFP. Perhaps the amount the owners were willing to back him with would breach FFP rules, so Mowbray would be putting himself in a win or bust situation. Probably enough to break the rules but not enough to assemble a squad that could realistically get near promotion. I don't really know, just speculating but i'm not sure why he would turn money down and put pressure on himself by having a weaker squad that fights relegation. If true, he's probably looking at some middle ground, enough to buy young players, who can develop at the club (Davenport, Rothwell) and keep us in the league (without a relegation battle) but not enough where it's win or bust and loading the club with high earners.

Where has this come from? As in, signing a player today.

Because they are cheaper.

Leave it, I’ve started reading your posts in funny accents.

Just like "The Scottish Wayne Rooney" "The next Batistuta" "A Young Steve Gerrard" Etc.

Good lord no. Injury prone and will want huge wages. Like Glenn Johnson, the total opposite of what we need to be bringing to the club.

How do Villa get a mega rich owner and then when staring into the potential jaws of oblivion they get backing from not 1 but 2 billionaires? And we get Venkys, f***ing Venkys! F**k football!

Awesome news. Well deserved too. We'd have never got out of League One without him.

It happens. As long as the selling club allow him too and sometimes even if they don't!

Why?

Me neither. We've talked a lot on here about this guy but i've never seen a link with rovers and him (could be wrong) it seems to have been a suggestion which has snowballed somewhat.

Where did he play? Centre mid?

We were never beating Liverpool after those 8 changes but it’s pre season and everyone needs minutes.

We all hate Leeds, scum, we all hate Leeds, scum! City fans would love nothing more than to get one over Leeds Utd.

Removing goal music is as good as signing a player. Great news.

Not saying we should loan him out but I thought I read an interview where Mogga said Wharton had been tested at league 2 and now needs to try League one? Could be wrong though.

Good news, as JH says, i expect he'll be off out on loan

Looking at that image, I’m not too keen on that kit.

I find it unbelievable that he isn't at the required fitness levels to play in a pre-season friendly. I'd say sell him but who's going to buy him?
