Quote SirStan="SirStan"Webb is a mouthy get but I'd give him a 2 year deal this afternoon if he wanted to come. Of course, he won't but its an aspiration. Its a year too early for Sheriff I reckon.'"
The only thing with Webb is he turns 33 before next year. I'm not sure about his temperament - realistically, he'd be likely have more opportunities to sulk with us than he's had at Leeds. Talented, mind.
This year may be a little early for Sheriff, but he's 20 in September (wiki says), so if he is going to make the breakthrough at all, you'd assume it wouldn't be too far away. His bad injury has maybe put him back a bit, tbf.
The more I look at it, we either get another similar player from the fringes in Aus or go with Sheriff Hall/Welham/Hodgson covering. There's not much in SL, and with Salford, Hull, and maybe Leeds looking, we'll have a better chance of strengthening elsewhere in the team.
While McDonnell remains at Rovers, supporters should support him fully, just as we'd expect players who we're letting go to give their all still. We signed him for a season and he's giving us a season - it's just business and there shouldn't be any hard feelings.
