It wasn't withdrawn but he made his intention clear to run down his contract and get a better deal than we could afford. We were offered money for him from Bristol City in the championship and Luton who were top of L1 in that window and he turned down both opportunities.If Willis had had a change of heart and signed we'd still have been obliged to sign Rose, so we'd have had both. As far as I know Willis' contract offer wasn't withdrawn as soon as we signed Rose.
