I'll bet he's chomping at the bit to be a deep-lying playmaker in a side with no movement ahead of him.
Many thanks. Barely even interested in the topic, just didn't want to miss an opportunity
With the likely exits in the summer of Gomez and Robertson, following Trent last summer. We will need a few more home grown faces amongst the first team.
The likes of Wharton or Anderson seem to be the only quality options of the right age, anywhere on the pitch in the current market.

He's better than what we have, consistent, more of a physical presence than any of our other midfielders bar Endo, and better at passing from deep than any of our other midfielders. Macca and Jones are too inconsistent to hold down regular places, though Jones has improved this season. Szobo isn't a good enough passer. Neither is Gravy. I'd be happy if we signed him, he's good.
He certainly shouldn't be valued higher than Eze IMO. I think he would be a superb addition to the squad though
Replace Endo?
He's miles better than anything Mac Allister has been this season. We also cannot continue to run Grav and Szobo into the ground. Wharton isn't the biggest priority, but it does address a need for me. The question is at the expense of what else? I would have put landing either one of Semenyo or Guehi ahead of Wharton, TBH, and right now, just about any CB with a working pair of boots and lungs.
Wait, I'm supposed to believe that Alonso is coming, but he's like, if I'm going to take on this mission, I do it on one condition. Get me... Adam Wharton.
Of course not. We're monitoring.
