Matt Mills was unwilling to take a pay cut from his 25Kp/w wage to join Leeds United who's wage structure is unwilling to support anything that high: Brian in turn, has had his eye on Wootton for weeks and he was lined up to join as soon as a current Leeds player left, however with several other Championship clubs becoming interested in recent days, GFH had to push the transfer through before. Brian McDermott will now have to wait until 2 players leave before bringing in a much needed winger, with Aiden White subject of interest from both Celtic and Blackpool (the latter of which thought to have lodged a bid for the 'versatile' Irishman).
This is mainly an opinion and I am not claiming to be ITK, however it fits with rumours and news articles alike and seems reasonable!

Good shout
Def need to get some players off the books quickish
Need a winger and if ross ends up going a striker too
Fair play to gfh though, they are doing the best they can for mcd. As mcd says, everyone pulling in tve right direction just takes time. You got to like his buys. I can see he has long term in mind. Alls good at moment. Could be tough week of games though

Why sell a winger just to bring another in? david norris and danny pugh need getting rid of asap.

Not sure I would call Aidy 'versatile' unless being able to run fast in a number of different directions counts.

Hence the reason the word versatile is in quotation marks! He has played in so many positions but hasn't excelled at one!
