ozzieowl Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I reckon alf would jump at chance to join the mighty owls. Plus rotherhams chairman stewart is a Wednesday fan, so would surely pick us to do a deal over anyone else, depending on monies of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If we have to pay anywhere near a million quid for ALF then no thanks. I would max pay 500k, but even then I wouldn't be too arsed if we did or didn't sign him. He wouldn't get a game with Heffernan, Johnson, Morrison and Mellor all better than him.

Bluesteel Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If we were to shell out a transfer fee for a striker I'd go for Austin. Then again, we'd probably get someone like Matty Fryatt for a quarter of the price who is arguably as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesdaywizard Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 LE FONDRE please. Fatha in Law would be devastated if he came to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) If we were to shell out a transfer fee for a striker I'd go for Austin. Then again, we'd probably get someone like Matty Fryatt for a quarter of the price who is arguably as good. Exactly. Matty Fryatt is just as good, if not better than Le Fondre and we could probably get him at half the price of ALF. Mellor on a permanent deal is a major priority btw. As proved this summer, you can pick up strikers for next to nothing. If we want to splash a bit of cash on a striker, a 'name' striker, then ALF is not that option. A risk that doesn't need to be taken IMO. Edited December 14, 2010 by BRADDAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Mc Lean had decent pedigree with Rangers. I really hope with Mellor and Morrison that we are now beyond the likes of Le Fondre and Parkin. We could take a punt on BWP though I'd prefer us to bring in a pacy young Premiership striker on loan. that's the nail on the head...that's the way to go...we don't need to be recruiting 4th. and 3rd. division players (unless their outstanding)...bwp is/should be no better than what we have...pace is what will tell, don't throw money away on players who can't play in a championship playoff challenging side or above...get loans in at this time...

Wath-owl Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Would definitely be pleased with taking a chance on Le Fondre. It really wouldn't take us flashing much cash in their faces before they buckled. Much like with Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Not sure but I reckon we need a quality centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wouldn't take us flashing much cash in their faces before they buckled. Much like with Burton. we have a side already challenging for promotion, with 3 or 4 decent additions promotion ought to be more obtainable...i think at this point we need to looking at loan players (unless someone unmissable comes up)...if and when we are promoted then start to build the side to challenge for the play off's even promotion...remember every £ spent now is one we can't spend later...

Guest kimolsen Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I wouldnt touch bwp with a bargpole, he is a criminal, alf would be good to see though, ideally though the only transfer dealings id like to see in january is us shipping out tango back to wolves and hemmingham back to leeds.

TheWednesdayBoys Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Id rather have Austin than Le Fondre, But id rather have Le Fondre instead of Fryatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Craigan at Motherwell - Plays for Northern Ireland always seems to do ok new partner for Beevers possibly? 200k max and cant be on big wages. Jonsson at Hearts - Can play Defence or Midfield again not big wages but possibly 500k. BWP at Plymouth or Austin at Swindon - I think would give us the option of pace up top and also allow Johnson to play in his best position. 4th Signing a young winger Lower League or Prem reject(like Brunt) somebody who can play a few games this season and next but more for the future and cover Johnson & Teale.

Tudders Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 How refreshing to see our fans coming up with potential players who would demand a transfer fee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 ideally though the only transfer dealings id like to see in january is us shipping out tango back to wolves That the same Tango who ploughs a load of money into the club and travels to just about every SWFC game, be it in this country or abroad? Why don't you like him? Jealous that people chant to him for a song... wish that was you eh? He's just as much of a Wednesday fan as all of us.

Bluesteel Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Id rather have Austin than Le Fondre, But id rather have Le Fondre instead of Fryatt. Le Fondre is good, but is probably at a peak value. Fryatt was the same as Le Fondre once, at Walsall, banging goals in and highly rated and Leicester paid the going rate. For whatever reason he's not been consistent in the Championship but I think that Le Fondre could be another of these players like Tyson, Easter etc who are big money buys that havent cut the mustard. Id rather buy a player who has been on the up, reached the championship and is now looking to re-establish themselves than gamble on a player who has only played in the third tier. Fryatt was just an example really, he may have injury problems, but what I mean is that there are good Championship standard strikers knocking around for a cheaper price than League 2 players.
