poite Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 You missed my point, I've no complaints having Westwood as a high earner, but the back up too? Ah no, I didn't think u were complaining. I was just saying I thought it was money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Don't we have at least two very highly rated young keepers, one of whom was apparently outstanding, on loan at Barnsley last season? Surely it's better to develop our younger players, rather than have a senior keeper who's quite content to warm the bench and play the odd cup game, and stopping the progress of those younger players, as was the case with Kirkland last season. I wish him luck, as I do all ex players, but I won't lose any sleep over the fact he's leaving I'd have thought sitting one on the bench behind Westwood it more likely to stop the progress of our academy keepers' development. They'll be much better off playing first team football in League One on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueowl1946 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sorry to see him go but fully understand his reasons. Best of luck,Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy66 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Good luck Chris...and I agree that our young keepers need game time at a lower level...we can get a back up keeper easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainless Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Good luck and needs game time. To be honest a big opportunity to develop our youngsters 6 month on loan for both wildsmith and Dawson and 6 month as our reserve. Both get experience that way.

sweetsheri Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://bit.ly/1H3G701 Chris Kirkland has opted to seek pastures new having declined a one-year contract extension at Hillsborough. After much soul searching given his ties to the club, the popular goalkeeper will leave S6 in pursuit of a fresh challenge that he hopes will offer regular first team football. He told swfc.co.uk: “This has been a really tough decision and one that I have mulled over through the summer but I have decided to move on. “I want a new challenge at this stage of my career. Everyone loves to play first team football and I am no different. “I came back to the club this week to do things the right way, which is in person because I have a lot of friends at this football club who deserve full respect. “I would like to thank all the staff who have been so supportive in my three years with Wednesday and wish the new head coach and the new chairman nothing but the very best. “And, of course, I would like to thank the fans, who have been different class and I hope to see them at the other end of the field soon.†Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank Chris for his services and wish him well for the future. Who was it now who said he'd signed last week! Oh yes, it was you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think he was gonna sign when we thought were gonna get rid of Westwood. We changed out minds. So has he... Just guessing and probably way off. From what I heard it wasn't us who changed our minds and not sure if the minds been changed fully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Very good keeper and servant, very sad to see him moving on but that's football. Best of luck Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 All the best. Proved a lot of people wrong whilst he was here and was a safe pair of hands. We'd be very luckily to keep a player of his calibre as a number two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
