Hi Ed 025 I see now the local rags are saying the Spuds are loosing interest in Ross, I wonder if they were ever interested in him in the first place mate, or was it just the usual hype before the window, I have to say on another note R K and Mr Moshiri are really getting down to bringing in some excellent recruits in for the team, also those pics of the proposed New Stadium, wow good times to be a Blue, roll on when the window starts, cheers GuernseyBlue.
{Ed025's Note - i dont know if anyone is really interested in taking ross GB, my guess is he will see his contract out and leave on a free next year, myself i would withdraw our offer of a new and improved contract and let him rot in the reserves but maybe thats just me mate, but i must say im loving being a blue..

It looks like Ross may have been given poor advice from his agent. I still think its worth offering him a new contact but on his existing terms, he could then fight it out with the other boys for place in the squad. If he stays having competition may push him to the next level.

Regardless of the reasons Ross seems to have painted himself into a corner. of the 'top 6' I can't really see where he fits in to any of those sides tbh. Everton to me is the best place for him. then the only option I see for him is abroad. or a 'lesser' domestic side (for want of a better expression)
{Ed025's Note - i have no ill will towards him jcl i just think he is being naive and poorly advised, the grass is not always greener and him and his agent may find that other high profile clubs will see him as a luxury player and wont be willing to fork out a large amount for such an inconsistent performer mate..

Even without signing anyone else Ross is going to have to play his socks off to keep his place in our team and I believe we will probably sign more quality competition in this window.
Seeing his contract out won't help him if by next summer his only offers are teams lower down than us and by teams lower than us next season I mean Liverpool, Arsenal and United ðŸ˜.

Bi harsh that letting Ross rot in the reserves, send him out on loan to Grimsby, see how he hacks that's on a cold Tuesday night, with the smell of fish and the wind whipping around the stadium.

I honestly believe he will end up just like Rodwell did and within 3 years be at a club like Newcastle rather than a top 6 side.
