0114 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes. Good age for a player with good calibre. If he was our own player it only improves the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gershwin Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Although Stuart Gray is Wednesday's 'manager', his background is coaching. It was this skill that brought him to Hillsborough. According to those in the industry, SG is good at this football coaching business. Even Owls fans have seen the fruits of SG's coaching and man-management strengths. SG does seem to have the knack of getting the best out of players. I'm sure that his work on Wickham and Barkley will have been noted by other clubs/managers. Drenthe is a troubled young man, with demons in his head. His head has clearly adversely affected his feet. The player's got bags of ability, top notch ability, but he's done so little with it. If, and it is a big if, I agree, Drenthe is ever to get the best from his natural talent, I'd back Stuart Gray to do it. I'm not sure there's much downside for Wednesday with Drenthe. He's only here on loan. He'll not be costing us a lot. He can be sent back. Suppose he could upset the dressing room, but with Loovens and one or two other strong characters around, there's not much chance of that. If nothing works out with the ex-Real Madrid man, he'll just disappear back to Reading after the loan. On the other hand, he could really click. I am quite sure that the ever astute S6 contract boys behind the scenes will have got that one sewn up already. Heads we win, tails Reading lose?

bobdylan Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 No. He's another JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 No. He's another JJ. JJ in his prime would be a great addition to our current squad! We're lacking that player who can run at opposition defenders at pace and carry the ball 50 yards up the pitch. When he was at his best, JJ had the potential to cause havoc, which is something we're currently lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 depends on the money if reading give us 500k to take him off there hands then maybe, if not then its a NO from me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruscol85 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Really need to see him out on the pitch to give a reasoned answer to this. My gut feeling is tht if you could get him fit, keep him fit and kee him happy then he'd be one of the best players in the division. In which case we'd only end up selling him for £100k...

Guest Strap Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 He's miles better than what we currently have and there's no way we'd be able to afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls about that Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Antonio came on loan and instantly made an impact, we then went on to sign him, Drenthe has not been given the chance to make an instant impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes - he is the only dynamic player we have and with games will make a difference. No. He's another JJ. Thats what were missing at times tough isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes deffo like I at the min, if he takes on one player he thinks he can take on the world... Next min loses the ball. At the moment I wouldn't you h him with a bargepole but there is still while to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Unlikely to be viable on a permanent given my Reading mate heard he's on £40K per week - which was financed by their new Russian billionaire owner - the one who subsequently did a runner. Extension of loan really the only option.if true, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 He needs to be given a starting role and see if he can perform for the full game Cameos from the bench won't earn contacts Surprised Gray hasn't given him a start yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 He could very well be starting against charlton going off of Gray's interview about shaking things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatpusher Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 absolutely yes, we're literally his last decent chance, and if we can get his head right, he's a multi million pound player... he's not been fit, but it seems like Gray has been intentionally holding him back to provoke a reaction, and in the cameos he's showed already, he looks like he can change a game.... can't wait to see him fully fit, and play full a 90 mins...
