Yes I did gather that.

Look it's a moot point anyway because it's not happening. But I'm fast getting bored of Pearson making one mistake after another, blaming anyone and everyone but himself, and then looking for sympathy. I won't buy a pass anyway because it's impossible for me to get to more than a handful of games in a season. But it's just getting to that stage now where the fixtures and the squads are out, there's two months left until the season starts, and Im looking forward to it. Something like this would just knock all that enthusiasm out of me.

I hope its true, bored of waiting for him to become a better than average player, although one of our better players last season, which wasn't difficult by the way, I wouldn't miss him, just my opinion. Most or all will disagree

For what it's worth on here, I totally agree with you.

Here we go!

What?!? Westerman has had an immense season, culminating in him getting called up to the England team! He was easily in our top 3 players last year and is finally beginning to show some class (one of Radford's only real accomplishments).

Complete bull

I just can't see this happening at all. If he did go they would have to pay out a long contract, plus a big fee. He had a great year last year but before that he was bang average, perhaps due to being played out of position. If we got enough money for him to cover the 400 K AP has spent getting rid of dead wood this year, then it's good business for me and who can blame AP for recovering some of the massive investment he has made into the club by selling one player.

Not as good as some make out, nor is he as good as others say he is. His England performance was average at best.
He wont be going anywhere though as I don't think AP would risk disillusioning even more supporters whilst he is still pushing passes.

Barker just said it IS NOT Westerman, on Twitter. So he's basically just stirred the pot for nothing, after spreading the rumour to start with.

And they wonder why we all hate journos?

Doesn't this mean its probably Westerman then?

He was outstanding from the off last yr. He was actually good yr before as well if people watch instead of being brainwashed by a few on here, the criticism he got that yr was one of the weirdest things I've experienced as a fan. Stats back that up. He is what he is. A young kid still improving. As a forward he'll improve for a few yrs yet.
His England performance is a stupid yardstick to judge by. England were disjointed on a whole. He'd not played for ages n only got limited game time. If he'd had chance to back up then that would of been a better yardstick

In your opinion. Outstanding is a bit of a reach even for Westerman fans.

Joe Westerman won't be joining Salford their just rumours, (Salford fan)

He's an interesting character that journalist seems to get it wrong three or four times compared with when he gets it right! Its just rubbish as I said back on page two!!

@NeilBarker14

Joe Westerman is NOT the player Salford are linked with ..........


Why but all that yesterday

Because....
You hear a rumour Salford are in the market for a new player, but you've no idea who.
You look at their squad and decide which position(s) they look weakest in.
You think maybe second-row, maybe three-quarters.
You think 'who could possibly play both positions?'
You think 'which club might be looking to sell?'
You remember that Hull have hinted at money worries.
You look for second-rowers who could possibly play in the backs at Hull.
You see Joe Westerman's name.
And there's your headline.

That's all reasonable enough. Shoddy journalism though.

Hull don't have money worries in the sense that we are struggling and need some cash. People (mainly Pearson) are just frustrated that a lot of expensive mistakes have been made lately and that crowds are down. We are still one of the wealthiest clubs, he's just saying that we won't carry on that way if nobody turns up to watch.

That is the same as what Koukash has been saying, no matter what there fans think, but if the fans don't back him and they continue with the low support, he won't keep pumping money in, same with AP and all other SL chairmans.

Indeed.

If I won the euromillions tomorrow I would happily put a few million into the club and wouldn't be bothered about a return. But that's because I'm a lifelong fan. These guys might care about their club, even love the club, but first and foremost they are business men.

Still don't get where this idea that Westerman can play in the backs comes from?

Maybe stand off at a push, in the same way Sinfield or O'Loughlin can, but that would be it.

Maybe this will ease some of your Salary cap fears?

he was outstanding compared to most in our team

also nothing from salford on any new player yet, danny kirmond is a name i hear being linked

Koukash said won't be until next week until we will hear an update? No names though.

I personally think Tony Club could be a good shout as i hear it's someone that played on the wing and is now playing in the pack!

Its Danny Kirmond
