Wharton is the one we really want. He could cover for Kamara to the level.

Hes a poor man's Tielemans.

Whartons quality

He is still a poor man's Tielemans. He isn't a Kamara type.

He's ok but he's nowhere near the best in the League ATM, that is Kamara. Kamara just doesn't break up play for the opposition he drives us forward. We absolutely missed his dynamism on Sunday.

Wharton would cost a club upwards of £60M plus and we couldn't even do a deal for Gallagher at half the price. So forget anyone permanently at anything over £25M. We're more likely do get Will Hughes than Wharton.

Palace are absolutley stupid if they want Guessand. I'd resign now if I was Glasner and reading that.

we could do with Hughes more than Wharton. Hughes is a horrible little shit-house. The sort we need at the moment.

Watch him go to Palace and start banging them in. Probably score against us in our next loss to them.

You’d think both Mateta and Abraham would be pretty expensive wage wise.

I am surprised we aren’t looking at getting in someone younger who has a bit more longevity, and presumably has some sell on value.

We signed 2 of the "younger" kind already.

Wharton is class, Man City will probably hoover him up.

Wharton is very good for his age and has plenty of time to improve. He won't be joining us though.
