shezzas left peg Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Getting off the countless threads about the fallout from last night and Carlos looking forward to next season . We on owl's talk very rarely agree as a whole, but a vast majority me included think we need a new Cb and Cm. For me if Brighton decided to upgrade on them I'd break the bank. They offer bags of leadership and that real dig in deep never say die attitude we do seem a little lightweight in when times get rough could they help get us over the line too? .

TheEnchanter Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 To be fair considering they are the 2 best players for them I very much doubt they'll be available. If they were it'd be for ridiculous prices. Burnley had bids upwards of £10M rejected for Stephens. Very unrealistic in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Dunk won't be sold. people forget that CBs are like rocking horse bobbar at the moment. Look at England's for the last 20 years. Now who can they select? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Dunk is a born & bred Brighton fan & well capable of making the step up to the Premier. There is less chance of Dunk coming to Wednesday than there was of Rhodes growing a pair & taking a penalty last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19owl08 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Our best bet at a centre back will be Maguire at Hull. Not sure he'd come as he'd rather play in the Premiership but he is an Owl so maybe we could tempt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an outstanding season and rumored to be in line for a call up to next England squad. He may move on but it will certainly be back to the Premier League.

Once a piggy always a piggy we want someone who can make owls part of their blood part of who they are put us in their heart.

I tend to agree but he'd be an easier target than Dunk. If he truly thought we could get promoted maybe he'd go for it?! Surely it would be any Wednesday fans dream to help the team win the championship & get into the Premiership. Then stay & play in the Premiership with the team. You may be right in terms of the England call being too much though if he really does have a chance of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Dunk will stay at Brighton or if he does go it will be to someone in the PL like Burnley if the sell Keane. I'd go back in for Grant Hanley personally. Left sided and solid plus a threat in the opponents box. Maybe no surprise Blackburn got relegated the season after they sold him. Newcastle haven't used him so perfect time to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie snerklebox Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I would think that with all the ridiculous spending that's gone off, we must be close to the FFP ceiling, especially with having to 'stage' the payments for "I don't fancy it from 12 yards" Rhodes. We need to sell before we buy I would think. Also if Prem clubs come knocking for our top boys, it may be in our longer term best interests to sell sadly.

I can't really think of many in England who we'd be able to get right now or wouldn't have to overpay for, we may end up having to look abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Stephens just signed a new deal and Maguire will join a prem team. I'm afraid we have zero chance of signing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if we can afford it him now, may have to end up loaning him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
