    Don't think he's suggesting that mate.

    Football wise, it’s the equivalent of signing Steve Bould under Peter Reid. His experience was essential and I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. We have lots of extremely young players that will benefit from having him around.

    Going to do the same mate, nothing interesting for me to add to it. Will support him when on the pitch but a lot of water under the bridge for me and don’t think it’s what we’re going to need anyways.

    We’re in an exciting moment and these threads are cracking, don’t want to add to the political side of the game to them anymore, which we’ve seen from further down the pyramid is trying to kill our game.

    seen posted earlier but is drewsbury hall a realistic and/or good signing at prem level?

    I was playing devils advocate. He decided to remain in Russia, indeed later signing for a new Russian club, despite the conflict.

    My point was that being completely against Hendo purely because he played in Saudi when we’ve signed players who’ve chosen to play in objectively worse places is incorrect. We shouldn’t necessary be blaming players for playing in countries as nothing is black and white.

    Being against him for footballing reasons is entirely different.

    Our last league derby was a draw after the 6 in a row I believe. 1-1 Defoe scored.

    Dewsbury hall probably isn't realistic, wages would be too high

    Class player tho

    I think this is a big problem we face when even looking at the bigger clubs fringe/young players.

    Chelseas for example, I wouldn’t be surprised that their 30th highest earner would be our biggest (maybe excluding ELF). Brutal balancing act for speakman.

    He’d be ideal. Chelsea wages though you’re right.

    Only hope would be he wants to play every week or a loan and they cover a massive chunk.

    Just looked mind and he’s on 80k a week and we supposedly covered ELF at 60k…

    Yeah they'll likely have to cover his wages if he was to move on

    Had a look he’s on 80k, surely no insurmountable?

    Wouldn’t want us going above £60k p/w or so. And even those that high should have a c30% relegation wage drop clause

    You can wiggle 60k with either a pay off from Chelsea or a signing on fee.

    Then the lad might also want to play.

    20k week at that tax level is a lot less than 20k a week hit to the lad as well.

    I mean tbf if the lad had the experience he does and was still getting called up for England I wouldn’t be complaining about having that option at all myself but I can see why some would

    Every recruitment this summer has to fit the dressing room....which,by all accounts,is a really happy place,together,spirited....no egos.

    Tbf he’s in the England squad to play Andorra. A game we’ll have 80% possession. It’s an entirely different prospect to a season in the premier with the favourites to finish bottom

    Is this not just hyperbole? I don’t think he’d still be getting called out to England personally and have multiple PL clubs interested if he couldn’t move anymore

    He wouldn't be in the squad if Wharton was fit and the u21 Euros weren't happening.

    Plus, him being in a ball dominant team is fine. He got I think 95 touches per game at Ajax, here he'll be lucky to get 40/50. So we can't hide his lack of speed and power like Ajax and England can.
