I know its been mentioned on here a bit about Whelan's situation, if there is one, but does anyone actually know whether there is any truth in the rumour he is off?, I'd be fucking gutted if he left us to join the shit down at Plymouth, a huge step back in his career that has already seen him get his first EIRE caps when playing for us.
I hope this isn't true.

No chance at all! Like a poor side like Plymouth will attract one of our better midfielders!

There won't be any news, as stated on other thread, Whelan isn't going anywhere!
They've got Walton from QPR for £500K another midfielder.

He was there last night, kitted up, went out for a breif warm up, dont know why he didnt play.
Personally dont think he is going anywhere, As he played for ireland post season i think longer rest, and letting diao and oli have run outs.
No idea about ant, he looked toss, although some of the things he tried were good in theory just not enough quality to pull it off

He probably didnt play because we were saving him for the game against osasuna, they are the best team we have faced this pre-season, so we will need him fresh and ready.

Yes but it won't be our best player, an Ireland international, playing for first time in Prem. one that is looking for a move to the south coast? and a step down?
Sturrock isn't the reason he'd move either because he turned down a move to join up with him before.

yeah just saving him i would think, a lot of other first team players would of been rested or subbed a lot earlier if we had enough players to cover. Centre midfield is an area we're fine with, really annoyed we didn't get Whelan earlier in the season cause i thought he was getting better and better every game.

So someone posts on a Plymouth website he's off and suddenly all panic breaks loose on here !!!!!!!!!!!! A Wolves fan posted they were getting Liam, that's him gone as well then  I would say it's more likely the players we are going out of our way to play are the ones PC is referring too. |

it'd be the silliest move EVER.
1. he swaps relegation fodder wednesday for us
2. shows good consistent form in a good side
3. gets into the ireland team for the first time
4. gets promoted and earns his shot at the premier
5. pretty much guaranteed first team football this season due to our failure to bring many players in.
he's going nowhere.

We are not in a position to be letting ANY first teamers go. Fringe players only and even then not util we have replacements. 7 on the bench this season remember

How has this bullshit even got off the ground? Somebody posted on the Plymouth message board that they are interested in a midfielder (who actually happens to be Simon Walton - and that's now official), one of their fans posts that he HOPES it's Glenn Whelan, and we've got Stokies on this message bending their exhaust pipes into their cars. Comes on folks... get a grip!  |

Davef there is also rumour from their board that they are after a premiership midfielder not just Walton pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?t=21138thats the thread the rumour has come from. i also think they may be reading to much into Pulis interview with there local rag last week where he supposedly said he would help them out and loan/sell a few polayers to them |

Ant Jr is a Prem midfielder- certainly seems to be trying to put him in the window  The Whelan stuff is wishful thinking-get real he could play in the best Championship side so why on earth would he go to Plymouth |
