Yes I did gather that.

Look it's a moot point anyway because it's not happening. But I'm fast getting bored of Pearson making one mistake after another, blaming anyone and everyone but himself, and then looking for sympathy. I won't buy a pass anyway because it's impossible for me to get to more than a handful of games in a season. But it's just getting to that stage now where the fixtures and the squads are out, there's two months left until the season starts, and Im looking forward to it. Something like this would just knock all that enthusiasm out of me.

I hope its true, bored of waiting for him to become a better than average player, although one of our better players last season, which wasn't difficult by the way, I wouldn't miss him, just my opinion. Most or all will disagree

For what it's worth on here, I totally agree with you.

What?!? Westerman has had an immense season, culminating in him getting called up to the England team! He was easily in our top 3 players last year and is finally beginning to show some class (one of Radford's only real accomplishments).

Complete bull poop

I just can't see this happening at all. If he did go they would have to pay out a long contract, plus a big fee. He had a great year last year but before that he was bang average, perhaps due to being played out of position. If we got enough money for him to cover the 400 K AP has spent getting rid of dead wood this year, then it's good business for me and who can blame AP for recovering some of the massive investment he has made into the club by selling one player.

Not as good as some make out, nor is he as good as others say he is. His England performance was average at best.
He wont be going anywhere though as I don't think AP would risk disillusioning even more supporters whilst he is still pushing passes.

Re: Joe Westerman : Thu Nov 20, 2014 9:47 am  

Barker just said it IS NOT Westerman, on Twitter. So he's basically just stirred the pot for nothing, after spreading the rumour to start with.

And they wonder why we all hate journos?

He was outstanding from the off last yr. He was actually good yr before as well if people watch instead of being brainwashed by a few on here, the criticism he got that yr was one of the weirdest things I've experienced as a fan. Stats back that up. He is what he is. A young kid still improving. As a forward he'll improve for a few yrs yet.
His England performance is a stupid yardstick to judge by. England were disjointed on a whole. He'd not played for ages n only got limited game time. If he'd had chance to back up then that would of been a better yardstick
