If he had 6 months to go or had been given a fair crack of the whip and failed then yes time to go but that ain’t the case.
Same goes for Powell, whenever have we kept a high value player to run out his contract ?. My God, I can’t think of one Latics fan who would have complained if we had if sold him for £10 million last summer. Good player but the older he gets those niggling injuries will become more frequent and take even longer to get over.
I know 1 thing, Whelan would have told Sunderland were to go with the money thier offering and, he would have flown the plane himself to take Powell to Brighton for 10 million
