And the Owls could fork out upwards of £11m for the former Leeds United man. Ex-Wednesday player Craig Armstrong, who currently works as a scout for the Football Association, has stated that he believes Wednesday could be close to meeting the Cottagers’ asking price for the striker who hit 23 goals in a largely struggling side last season. Speaking on Alan Biggs’ Talking Sheffield programme, on TV channel Sheffield Live, Armstrong said: “They have offered £11.5 million for (McCormack), whether that goes ahead I don’t know.” Armstrong added: “(He’s been offered) big wages as well. “Imagine McCormack comes in to a team like Sheffield Wednesday, who do create opportunities, who do create chances. He’s going to be in a better team. He could be the catalyst you need.” Ross McCormack in action against old club Leeds United Fulham paid £11million for McCormack two years ago, using their parachute payments having dropped out of the Premier League. And while the Scot shone over his two seasons at Craven Cottage, Fulham have never looked like making a top flight return. It was reported that Wednesday had made a bid for the player in the January transfer window, believed to be £10m, which was knocked back by Fulham bosses. It is understood the London club are willing to sell and value McCormack at £12million.

s6 owl Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Too much money yes but every player in this country is too much money just look at the clowns that played the other night but Ross McCormack would be a cracking signing would offer much more than just goals too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose we can rely on free transfers and season long loans for the rest we need. P.S If i spelt Aditians wrong ring the spelling police Not just wrong, but wrong twice, and in two different ways. Warm night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I think I've just done a man wee, if we get him brilliant but I'd settle for it just to be true and show we mean business this year. God I've waited years for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Exciting times. Its a positive to be in with a shout of obtaining one of the best players available at this level. I had a feeling the door was open for Chansiri and Carlos to get him if they wanted him. What with the other interested clubs all looking like bringing in strikers. In my opinion McCormack is the best striker at this level. He'd be a better signing than Rhodes. He offers more, he creates goals for others and chances for himself, plus he would suit the team ethic and press that Carlos likes. He's a proven goal scorer and scores all kinds of goals. This really would be a statement of intent, and I hope Chansiri and Carlos pull it off and attract him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musn't Grumble Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 An extra 21 goals and 9 assists would be more than useful at S6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 If we want to push on towards the top 2 this is exactly what we need to be doing . Newcastle, villa , Norwich , Derby etc will spend big we have to compete. It's ok going I love Wallace I love lee , loovens etc and whilst they are certainly worth retaining, these players should be some of the worst players in the squad if we are aiming to move up a level .

Beauchief Owl Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Even if this bid fails at least we know there is going to be serious investment in the squad this season. Great to have a chairman who delivers on his promises about his intent to get into the Premier League, well done DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hirstpower Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 people really don't know how ambitious DC is. i keep hearing there is no way we will blow the whole budget on one player. We have more money than people believe and all I'll say is exciting times with the 2 most prolific goal scorers in the league. a top winger and I think we will compete with the Geordies.
