Very true! but I don't understand it why would big sam be interested in a player that is a free agent in the summer?
If he gets to the summer and he is a free agent there is no way he will sign for Blackburn so this is there only chance of getting him. The top four would all take him and Aston Villa definitely want him, (O'Neill knows a player!). He has been talked about for years in the England set up and if he can stay injury free he will be as good as Fowler was in his early years IMO. Why oh why was his contract not sorted when Sven took over because we were puutin him in the squad then even as a 17 year old. If he doesnt sign for us he will definitely wait until the summer before going anywhere. I just dont want any of the following younger players to go...Hart, Richards, Johnson, Onuoha, Ireland, Sturridge, Weiss all should have a future at the club. I remember a few years go thinking, like most blues, if only we had loads of money to surround this crop with top players we could really achieve something, i expected we would go like WHU and they would all be dotted about the top 4 teams...the takeover has blown my mind but my opinion is still the same
