I'm just wondering why a Wednesday fan would sign up to a Wednesday forum and constantly post negative drivel about the the club he supports. If I rave about Hutton, Mulgrew and Semedo do I become a "True-fan"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect the low ball figure is our opener to see where Rovers are at, nothing more. Expect we'll sign him for an undisclosed fee - probably around the £500k which would be reasonable business all round. They will sell at what they think is a reasonable price. Its not just all aboit the buyer. If we wont pay what they want maybe somebody else will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 17:30 KAMARA HAS FULHAM MEDICAL Sky sources understand Amiens striker Aboubakar Kamara has had a medical at Fulham today. The 22-year old was top scorer for Amiens last season as they were promoted to Ligue 1 for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semedo has left the club not sure why you keep mentioning him. What's your thoughts on us making Jordan Rhodes a permanent player this summer? He wasn't cheap was he. Good singing or not? How about Boyd on a free, excellent piece of business wouldn't you agree? Seriously i haven't seen you post 1 single positive thing about the club, and there are plenty of positives to talk about within the last 2 years. I expect something negative back from you because your either a pig, or the most depressed miserable Wednesday fan I've ever seen posting Come to think about it, you don't sit infront of me on the kop do you?

If we wont pay what they want maybe somebody else will. Or they might sell cheaply because 1. He wants out of League One or 2. They need him off the wage bill ASAP. Sure we valued Glenn Whelan at more than £500k, Lee Grant at more than £1m, etc. but circumstances meant we had to take the best offer on the table at the time.

What he said was "we are very happy to have brought in George Boyd. He was a free. If we'd had to pay a transfer fee for George, it is possible we wouldn't have brought him in" it also says in the next paragraph "the star understands there is money made available for a transfer kitty". And the context of the comment was about being sensible with signings. Note - context, the confirmation straight after that money is available, the use of the word wouldn't rather than couldn't, and that as a 31 year old footballer, a free signing rather than paying a free was deemed sensible. Might not be in keeping with your dark cloud mentality, but if you are going to have a moan at least get your facts correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 For me we should target one of Bartley, Caulker or Hanley. Bartley we should try for a loan to buy option. Caulker we would need to buy, test them with a 4million bid. Hanley will probably be allowed to move on loan near or on deadline day. Sounds easy but obviously isn't if we've looked at over 200 centre backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Mawson may move to Spurs so no chance of Bartley. Ashley's greed means Hanley will go soon, hopefully to us. Charlie will be the second stopper we've been told to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Been thinking about the days when in pre season friendlies we would have a couple of trialists playing, use to enjoy that. Always remember Frankie Simek playing on trial, really liked him at the time. Obviously we are in a much better position now but I use to like it many years ago.
