n_v_owls Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/197899/Jason-Scotland-s-a-Sheffield-Wednesday-target/? According to the above article we are making an offer of £750k bid for Jason Scotland... (Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I could not find anything). To me this seems rather crazy, the report goes on to say that we are making this offer as we have failed to sign Mellor! Either the club are being clever in getting this in the press in the hope Mellor re-negotiates his contract terms. Or We are mad... Yes mad... He is 32 years old, and surely would only have a one year contract, to me this would be a massive gamble on him being the 20 goal a season striker we need. What are peoples thoughts on paying that much for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last_Great_Hope Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 My thoughts are Milan didn't get to where he us now by being careless with his money. If we do get Scotland, I'm confident the terms of the deal will be in our best interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 No chance will we be giving Ipswich the same amount they paid Wigan. Not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest owlinlincs Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I would be happy with either scotland or mellor as long as clinton pulls his socks up and becomes the player we all thought he was.I honestly think he could be key this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do get Scotland, I'm confident the terms of the deal will be in our best interests. No I don't think Milan is careless... Totally agree with that. However it just seems a lot of money for a 32 year old striker, we are rumored to have paid around the same for Madine which gives us a frontline worth £1.5m! I just hope Milan/Megson are not gambling on him at that age and price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday-Wonderland Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 No chance will we be giving Ipswich the same amount they paid Wigan. Not a chance. this. he's a year older and didn't exactly set the world on fire for ipswich. i'd be surprised if we even paid half of that, they'll want to get him off their wage bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 i don't think i'd want to be paying a third of that... at £200k i'd think i'd done them a favour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Err, Daily Star. Personally I'd give more journalistic credence to some of the lads on here. This.

p.c guru Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I wouldn't mid of offering that kind of money for Alf at Rotherham, or a player of that ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkus Owlus Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I thought he was a central midfielder! No thanks - only if his wages are comfortable and the price is a fraction of the above. I'd much prefer us to get Mellor so we have an attack of Madine/Mellor. I doubt Scotland would go from the Championship to a backup in League 1 anyway, some other struggling Championship side would give him a more key role.

Salmonbones Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I can see that it would COST us 750k, that being wages. Someone got some figures muddled up methinks. spam alert, please visit my site "no beer for a year" and like it on facebook. Each like will get the SCH £0.10p from local businesses who are signing up for cheap advertising on it. This way I don't have to pester people for sponsorships! .

Guest Saturday Owl Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 No chance of us paying that, Milan isn't stupid and neither is Megson. We'll get the best deal for the club so just stop worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 the daily star also has an article from ex sheffield united and barnsley manager dave bassett saying how poo poo villas boas is as a manager :laugh: Andre’s CV looks impressive but anyone could have managed Porto. Even my missus. There are only two, maybe three, clubs in Portgual and winning the title is easy. its makes the appointment of Wilson even stranger, the pigs missed a trick, Dave Bassetts missus would have won the treble and broken every record in sight EASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinOwlMan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Err, Daily Star. Personally I'd give more journalistic credence to some of the lads on here. +1 Why do any of the people on here ever believe a word the tabloids print? Why do they even read any of them? And particularly - why pay for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Didn't Milan say yesterday that they were still hopeful of sorting a deal for Mellor? Hardly what I would call collapsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
