RamBamFan Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I really, really hope we go in for Whelan. One or two wingers should be the priority but once that's sorted, Whelan would be a fantastic signing. I know it's been said before but he could be the difference between a top two finish and the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT said we weren't that doesn't necessarily mean it won't. He'd line up alongside Thorne or behind two more advanced centre mids. Basically Eustace 2.0.

Cam the Ram Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Ended our interest in him. Aston Villa are set to win the race for Glenn Whelan after Derby ended their interest. Villa boss Steve Bruce wants to bring in Republic of Ireland midfielder Whelan to add grit to his side. He had been rivalling Rams manager Gary Rowett for the star’s signature after Stoke said Whelan could go. But MirrorSport understands Derby have now ended their interest in the midfielder,33, who wants to link up with Bruce and Villa newboy John Terry. A deal is likely to be completed later this month once Villa have offloaded more of their unwanted flops. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-set-win-race-10749708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Just like George Boyd to Wednesday, I'm absolutely not bothered by this in the slightest. 33-year-old Premier League veteran who's had his day in the sun, now looking for a big fat final paycheck. Much rather Villa be the one to give it to him, than us. Especially when we can spend half the wages on a younger, more exciting prospect, to do a similar role. Just my gut feeling, but I think we've dodged a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Lovely, I wondered when we would start missing out on targets, Glenn Whelan would have been a great signing. Onto the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
