As i live in Oldham i dont get the Sunderland local rag nor have i seen that article, i had a discussion in a pub last night we were talking about Anthony Gerrard (signed apparantly) and the next words were he isnt the only one signing then i was told about Whatmore.....
I then said whose going then my first choice was Philliskirk, nothing more was said.
Whatmore is a player the club have tried to sign numerous times.
Read into that what you will.
