Rovers will end up getting close to 40m for Adam when the 15% profit on sale kicks in. Unlike us, Palace will handle the sale properly.

Yes I am saying he will go for 100m.

How do you work that out? 22m + (78m x 0.15) = 33.7m

i.e. nowhere near enough.

Adam acquitted himself really well although he was understandably nervous. One pillock picked up on the fact that Adams dad, John described Adam as a loner and asked him if he actually was. Adam seemed quite uneasy with the question which really put him on the spot.

That was Rob Dorset who's a bit of a wally. He claimed Wharton was a defensive midfielder

Dorset is a clown! All he kept saying after the initial squad was announced was that Wharton wouldn't be on the plane.

Quite clearly has never watched the lad play.

Learnt recently that Keira Walsh, now of Barcelona and England women, was at Rovers as a youth player. I don’t know how long for but it’s some credit to Rovers men and women teams for developing two midfield passing maestros in Walsh and Wharton. Unfortunately, both left for bigger clubs very soon.

Keira Walsh, Ella Toone and Georgia Stanway all played for Rovers women 😀

Good to hear a Blackburn accent on BBC news. '....a dream cum tru...'

Watched the interview, lad comes across well.

It's clear to see JDT has had a huge impact on how Wharton sees the game and I think an ex top level pro has shown him what it takes to reach the very top. 

My fear with some of our local lads in years gone by is that they've not pushed themselves and reached their possible potential (e.g. Dunn).

By far the most excited I've been for the Euro's for a long time. One of our own, representing us, fantastic.

Really unfair question to put him on the spot but he handled it really well 

I’d say he’s much more relatable than super confident players, he seems a bit unsure and just lets his football do the talking

The club's SM team are seemingly oblivious to the fact that he was bundled out of the door at the first opportunity and is no longer a Blackburn Rovers player.

A club with a small time, feeder club mentality throughout… contrast it to the years running up to BRFC being sold when this club existed to be the very best it could be, currently being documented on the Nostalgia Thread.

Great in depth piece in the Times yesterday on Adam. He is capturing the media attention in a positive way. They see him as different and someone special. JDT not so much. 

“Even last season had ups and downs. Jon Dahl Thomasson, the Blackburn head coach and an initial champion of Wharton, developed doubts about his work off the ball and froze him out for four months. It was the stick, rather than the carrot, and not an approach that necessarily works with a highly intelligent footballer who keenly analyses the game and prefers explanations.”

Clown of the first order.

I agreed with JDT here, Wharton was lazy off the ball. Any doesn't seem to have been too bad for the guy

If Mowbray was still in charge, Adam would still be kicking his heels with the juniors. A special player and one of our own but he owes JDT a hell of a lot.

Im not sure that is true, both him and Tomasson brought through lots of youngsters. At times having to be overly reliant on them.

[cesus]

I'm desperately seeking any comfort I can from Adam Wharton not being here and the only thing I can slightly grasp is that our academy is rightfully getting some attention.

Had Wharton made the England squad this time next year, Rovers would have been conveniently forgotten and his rise would have purely been attached to Palace.

That's all I've got ... I'm off to sulk!

Because of the higher sell on percentage, if Wharton's stock keeps rising, it's now looking highly likely we'll end up with more than Brum received for Bellingham.
