roversfan99 Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Not sure how I feel about this, felt that we were needing experience beside Lenihan so would be disappointing if this is our only signing. West Brom fans seem very unimpressed by him, although are quite insistent that he must play centrally. Hope hes one of a few additions in defence, sure hes an upgrade on Mulgrew and Williams.

The story is a fine illustration of the excesses at the top end of football whereby a young player, one who has never even played first team football, has at the age of 20 riches that most people can only dream about. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it wrong and abhorrent and one of the many reasons older fans are turning away from football. 7

Seen clips and is pretty tidy with the ball as you’d expect @jim mk2 @Exiled_Rover Cheers S8- see above. I agree it’s obscene and off putting to think they earn so much - but I’m talking about the wording + motivation for choosing the specific footballer! 5

geedog13 Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 I was only wondering if he was that good why us but noted he lives in Manchester

Bbrovers2288 Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Know we have an abundance of mids but Jonny Williams signed for Charlton on a free, he always impressed me, we could’ve done worse
