I can’t see it ever getting to 20 million. Tottentham and Newcastle are not going to pay 20 million+.The loan player can help us this season. And is very very highly rated. 

 

You're not a Rovers  fan are you?

I don’t think Whartons mum retweeting that is a sign of anything - Maybe it’s a proud thing? 

[TugaysMarlboro]

I'd be absolutely gutted if less than 6 months after becoming a regular, he leaves and for £15m.

I'd be gobsmacked if £5m of that was reinvested.

Hope you're right.

 

Maybe we're grasping at straws though...

Tyrhys Dolan got 130 games in the championship for Rovers in his four years at the club. At 22 I would say its vital to give him a new contract. Not many 22 years old have muster so many games in the championship and he's got the experience already.

Maybe it's a kick up the backside to speed up the jump from sinking ship

Re Adam. Something to consider is His transfer value will likely plummet should or when we get relegated

We all need this.....

Only reason to give him a new contract is in order to sell him and spend the money more wisely on a better player. Has hardly developed in those 130 games imho. Blows hot then cold x 5.

Everything looked a lot more brighter in november...

IF Palace have offered £15m for Wharton a week before the window shuts then he’s as good as gone.

£15m is a LOT of money, they’ve got time to push it to £20m and a sizeable sell on and really importantly, no “Love for the club” could eclipse a 5x raise on your new contract.

I wouldn’t blame him and no one on here could do either.

Thats assuming the bid has gone in….

Similar to what i mentioned earlier about the pitfalls of a skint ambitionless club turning down big bids in a case of more jam tomorrow !

Sir Bradders of Dack being a prime example.

Could you start condensing all your random blurting into one long message rather than adding about 15 separate ones and making it seem something is happening. Cheers.

What are you on.

i said 18 plus add ons and a loan

You said 20million with add ons. Would you have a day off. 
 

I doubt the 15 million bid is guaranteed either

By the looks of things it's Dolan rejecting our offers, so that tells you something. He'll be playing in the League One in a season or two if he doesn't stay here.

Ah - wonder where you'd gone - you usually turn up at transfer window time to peddle the Company line.

Disagree completely.

£15 m is NOT a lot of money for someone of that age and potential, it's absolutely derisory. We need to be looking at at least £20m now with the potential for at least another £10m in add ons at a later date.

Depends how desperate we are for money of course but if Palace sneak the deal through at something close to £15m they'll  have had us over a barrel and given us a right old rogering.

You said 18m "with" add ons if we're being pedantic.

[Miller11]

I would love to know which specific events of the last 13 years are leading people to conclude that selling Adam Wharton would allow us to strengthen multiple areas of the squad and mount a promotion push.

People getting all excited at the prospect of a fee that’s dwarfed by the amount Venky’s have had to set aside in order to guarantee monies they are sending us to keep the lights on. Swapping our best player, who has a genuine chance of becoming an England regular, for a few months worth of wages for his inferior teammates who will likely fail to keep us in the Championship.

It would definitely make a statement - that we have given up anything resembling ambition or a plan. Being a feeder club to the likes of Crystal Palace is a disgraceful position for Blackburn Rovers to find ourselves in.

Lets hope the stat obsessed football manager enthusiasts are left heartbroken and it’s all just paper talk/Nixon bollocks.

Funny, I hadn’t missed you at all…just a constant line of 2 + 2 = 5, shite…

£15m is a LOT of money to kick off the bidding with and so as I said, IF (and it’s a big IF) Palace have bid £15m a week before the window shuts, then I reckon the deal will get done. It could get done at 20 plus add ons or 25 plus % sell ons or whatever. But it will get done.

God knows if we’ll get any of it to reinvest in proper signings. We’re in ‘managed decline’ mode as far as I can see.

Be a massive shame, highly rated in the academy I think?

Surely seeing how he can progress would be better than £75K when he is supposed to be highly rated.

You don't need to be God to know you just need to have been paying attention over the last 13 years.

Pays a few bills for a month or two. It's all short term ism with Waggott in charge.
