MON will be gutted if it's true. Let’s hope it’s true then , I doubt there will be a fee , reckon that’s just his wages Yeah, I'm guessing he never signed the deal and went back on his word.

Corry Evans is way more mobile, not in the same league class wise, but would fit our midfield better.

We used to be reguarly linked with an out & out DM player called Emanual Badu during the tail end of Hughes' time at the club. Now available on a free transfer

Random, potentially bullshit tweet from early June. At least if the timeline is true, MON will have known about it for a while and we haven't had it sprung upon us at the last minute

Didn't he just sign a new one year contract with us?? his contract extension was triggered, he appears to have changed his mind presumably being offered lots more $$£$£$£

Certainly not ideal but if we can't sort the perfect midfield lineup this window, Wilmot does have solid experience at DM on his CV.

Stoke line up away to my left in Red and White striped shirts, White shorts with White and Red stockings. In goal Joe Butland...left back Morgan Norrington-Davies..... in midfield Joe Allen and Sam Clucas..."

Evans looking unlikely now but a bit of energy and discipline in the midfield - someone who can do what Cousins did off the ball but can do a bit on it as well - would be great.

I couldn't take to him at all, he's totally past it. I remember his very uninspiring interview when he joined, a total bluffer these days.

I'd like a bit of experience at DM, fine with McCann but would rather he comes in as one of two with the other an experienced figure. Mikel added a bit of calmness to central midfield, he was supposed to be a leader figure etc. Played his part in 22 clean sheets

Whelan is only 37, a free agent to boot, surely he can do a job for a season rotating with another 😁

He's been a steady player but to be honest I was hoping for him to have more of an impact on our midfield (thinking back to Salif Diao's first loan spell with us, for example)
Good luck to him if he can get a good contract out there.

i’m hoping that this will give us the opportunity to have more energy in CM. Last few seasons we’ve been very static.

I remember his very uninspiring interview when he joined, a total bluffer these days. He doesn’t even look remotely interested when I’ve seen him play, looks a bit of a dope in all truth. The game just casually passes him by and for me he has one average game every so often and not what’s needed given the requirements of the Championship. If MON thinks he’s what required we are truly stuffed. Surprised we signed him but wouldn’t be at all concerned if he leaves.

He didn't offer the protection we needed him to. As Cobham says, a bit of mobility/energy would make a big difference as well.

I think Mikel has generally done ok for us, but I’m not sure we’ve used him properly as an ageing player. Up until about 60 minutes and when he’s got someone with legs beside him he’s been effective and useful also going forward. However, his age does mean he can’t to do it as effectively and in the later parts of a match he is vulnerable and should be subbed, but he’s been kept on and exposed. Ideally you want a high energy player, but that comes with a younger body and is the trade off with an experienced pro.

It never ceases to amaze the amount of posters that want our entire squad replaced each season
Don’t get me wrong, all isn’t great about Mikel but be careful what we wish for
