Wharton crumpled to the ground yet again yesterday. He has real class so he kinda walks around the midfield, choosing when to run, but then he just snaps like a twig every few games. Something we do NOT need in our squad.Until next summer, when we hopefully go in big for Wharton...

Ranking all 153 Premier League transfers this summer window from worst to best
It has been a record-breaking summer for the Premier League. The Athletic's Tim Spiers has tried to put every signing into ranked orderweb.archive.org
Number 1 might surprise you.
131. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton to Leeds United
Transfer fee: Free
Contact length: Three years
As his debut in the Carabao Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday showed, this is a player short of rhythm and confidence. Only scored 17 league goals for Everton in the past four seasons thanks to injuries and, while the lack of a fee takes away an element of risk, Leeds have taken a gamble here. The organisers of Leeds Fashion Week will be delighted, mind.
111. Jordan Henderson, Ajax to Brentford
Transfer fee: Free
Contract length: Two years
His influence in the dressing room will undoubtedly be strong, but has he got the legs and/or the sharpness at 35 years old to anchor a Premier League midfield? If the answer is yes, he’ll be a huge help to the likes of Yehor Yarmolyuk and Mikkel Damsgaard. Either way, a low-risk, low-frills deal. And at least Brentford’s human-rights record is respectable.
Sounds like one to keep an eye on.14. Florentino Luis, Benfica to Burnley
Transfer fee: Loan
Contract length: One year
A well-trodden path. If ever a signing epitomised how the Premier League is the Super League in all but name, it’s Florentino Luis joining Burnley (who even have an option to buy). No Primeira Liga midfielder produced more tackles and interceptions combined than his 134 last season and he’s just played 144 matches in three seasons at Benfica.
