Even with a further year to go, his fortunes are going to have to undergo a pretty spectacular change for him to make it at Saints now. I've got my fingers crossed for him, though.

The club said on Twitter that they are behind him all the way so that doesn't sound like they are about to bin him.

4 months puts him out until July, hardly the end of his season. Being an optimist i'd say plenty players have hamstring injuries and its not career threatening so he could easily come back from this and have 3 good months at the important end of the season.
Really hope that happens, really, really do

I don't think they'll bin him, I just can't see him stringing enough games together in the last one-and-a-bit seasons of his contract to convince them to gamble on him again. Hopefully he'll surprise us all.

Wasn't one of his long term injuries caused by gashing his leg on an advertising hoarding at Huddersfield? Now that is unlucky.....perhaps only beaten by Veivers putting his back out while putting on is socks before a game!

Good luck to both mentioned above.....esp Wheeler, still plenty of time!

I really feel for Wheeler, I think he's got the talent, just never had the consistent chance to show it.

4 months out for the lad

That will teach him not to make try saving tackles.

Pretty much ends his Saints career. I wish him well in whatever he chooses to do at the end of the season.

Gutting, absolutely genuinely gutting... We can't carry on like this with him no matter how good a talent he is and he needs pastures new next season. Looks like we're stuck with Gaskell instead then...

Why? He'll be available by July (...and next year?).....oh.....you mean in your world.....

Isn't he out of contract at the end of the season? Those negotiations will be interesting.

No he isnt,its allready been posted in this thread that he is here till the end of the 2014 season.

To be fair they're not likely to put out a tweet saying that they'll be looking to offload him at the earliest opportunity are they?

No. But they needn't have tweeted at all. They don't tweet offering sympathy to other players out injured, regardless of length of time out.
