There's a small but vocal group of fans who have never forgiven Westerman for the size of his signing fee - as if that had any relevance whatsoever. They will find fault regardless, and if they can't find it they'll make it up.
Pathetic behaviour TBH.

For me the signing of Washbrook suggests Westerman is going as otherwise signing him makes no sense. Why sign him as a third loose forward? Why sign him as back up second row when it isn't his best position and we already have plenty of back up?
However if we decide Abdul is our long term LF and is now ready for it...but obviously can't play the full season 80 mins every week...he will need some experienced support on and off the field...suddenly signing Washbrook on a fairly modest contract makes perfect sense.
As for Westerman, he's a good player but the dictionary definition of 'flatters to deceive', he will be up for auction in a a year when contract is up so we decide to cash in when we can. Radford is comfortable with this as he has rightly identified a culture of a lack of hard edged professionalism as behind our long term underachievement. Therefore out go those who don't fit in with that. Some fans don't like losing some of these players but are first to complain we lack the mentality of the successful teams.

I'd like to see him go wider and play more as a runner than a ball handler, we will need it when Mini and Ellis retire.
I rather keep him, but if someone offered a good fee or a player swap I'd be tempted as we have Abdul, who I think has more potential than Westy as a ball playing LF.
Sums it up for me.

There are also people that actually watch matches objectively. All people should try this, it's quite rewarding.
IMO Westerman needs to step up now as a senior player. I lost patience with him, but he played really well second half of last season and I was happily proven wrong. Not doing it this season. Needs to improve IMO.

Yeah. That would be me. It clearly wouldn't be anyone who 'wouldn't be bothered' if Westerman left. Unless that person knew nothing about RL.

He's had a major injury and a change of role in the team. I doubt he's happy with his form himself, but sometimes coming back from that kind of thing takes a while.
