But he would have struggled with the system we played on Saturday which was based on pace and closing down the opposition. I feel that core fitness and hard work are a pre requisite to NWs style of play.

Judging by Blackburn fans' view of Whittingham early doors on their forums it was definitely the right time to let him go. Saturday's game would have passed him by. We now have several class players in the squad.

A consensus that he is peripheral to a game and so far a poor signing. In all fairness early days yet but League 1 is fast moving so I can well understand how he could be hurried and scurried out of a game. However I have never subscribed to him being lazy or apathetic. I always believed he gave of his best and I wish him luck at Blackburn.

If we wanted to go anywhere we needed a fresh outlook and this was part of it.

It would take me from now until the Wolves game to write down every word so why don't you look it up yourself if you're curious?

It's the same role as a juve Pirlo. Don't have to move much, just dictate the play
