CONFIRMED Joe Rothwell signs an 18 month contract

[Silky Sabella]

I hope we keep him, he is going to come good.

He will be as long as he hasn't got that thug from man city by his side !

 

[ben1987]

Wilder has followed him for a good while and was one of his top targets for last year.

We would have probably signed him last summer had wilder been in charge and not Selles.

No way he swings a U turn now and sells hims.

There’s a player in there though, could see it sneaking out towards the end of the season. He’ll be decent for us this season.

Thug?

Never seen a 31 year old decline so much. Obviously will give him pre season but I'm struggling here.

What's his 'position' or 'role' anyway?

You're struggling? What you need is a good pre-season.

 

[Guesty]

He's an absolute baller who would immediately improve our midfield, remember.

Any day now...

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I think he's past it

He’ll be like prime Zidane when he’s had a full preseason mate. Preseasons the answer to every shite footballer at the club.

We all know tha dunt like runnin thats why thas got nickname Slothwell.

Every time I see Rothwell, I can't help but think of this image. Anyone else see the likeness?

 

[Stretch]

I think he has been pretty good so far this season. Runs out of steam after about an hour, but that's a familiar story.

 

[metalblade]

Thought Rothwell was good the only time Blackburn caused problems was after he went off for Arblaster, the introduction of Phillips soon restored order though.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Rothwell looks like he enjoys red stripe & roll ups.

Seems ok as a footballer. Nothing spectacular, not shit.

More Jake Gyllenhaal for me.

Yep, that’s fair. Though I think Blaster was getting more space to run into as well and Reidewalde was also out of steam by the time he went off for Phillips

If we can keep all of the central midfielders we have until Jan at least and keep them all fit, we’ll dominate midfield in most games.

Every time I see Rothwell he,s fuckin about with his hair.

If you got it, flaunt it.

Rothwell looks like Daniel Farke from a distance

 

[bladesince64]

Still obviously not fully fit yet.

Him and Phillips and Peck should dominate most games.

Blaster still looks very rusty.

Need 2 CBs and a striker and wide mid to be fully sorted

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I like the thought of that - Phillips / Peck / Rothwell trio in CM

The shape could vary a bit, with Peck and Rothwell being flexible - deeper, wide CM, or pushed forward a bit

O'Hare and Donovan in front, behind Bamford

That would be set up to be quite a solid team

 

[Tramway Blade]

It's funny watched Rothwell just can not see it , never looks for space the least energetic of all the midfielders and still blowing out of his arse after 50 mins and can't hit a barn door with a banjo apart from that he's ok

I've only missed the Blackburn game but I thought the same. He whipped two beautiful balls in against Swansea but even his set pieces have been bang average at best.
Unless he was magnificent against Blackburn he wouldn't be starting for me.
