It's seems busy enough to me ... 32 deals between 24 clubs doesn't sound too busy to me, bearing in mind all released players at the end of last season, but each to their own.

We've got a team that finished 15th last season with the addition of 12/13 first team players back who missed the entire season. I'd be happy with our squad if the season started tomorrow.

Morepork Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I’m also happy with our outgoings so far although I’d welcome one or two..... In reducing our numbers (which on balance I agree with) the club must be certain that the injuries sustained last year were in the most part avoidable due to poor conditioning and have absolute faith in the medical team. Let’s hope they are right in both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUCE LEE Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Granted our recruitment has been bizarre and largely aimed at attacking players, but I can't see us bringing in Hugill, wouldn't make sense after stripping Rhodes out of the overhead I think Honeyman might come in and join the midfield mess though if a relatively cheap deal can be agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much says, players coming in will be 18-23 year old. It does sound abit concerning, regarding how tight money will actually be. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/jos-luhukay-will-be-creative-with-sheffield-wednesday-s-summer-recruitment-1-9149178 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few decent quality loans will be coming this week but I doubt it.. fuckerada, I'd pay fox's contract off out of my own money 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If Jos was being honest, and any arrivals will be in that age bracket, then that definitely rules out Jordan Hugill Might also explain why we backed out of the Venancio deal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ask for £30m and settle for about £22m. Villa want £50m Grealish dont they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed It's a fine balance Hopefully we can produce players to the level where premiership clubs will pay 10 -15m, then we can start to optimise the odd player sale, build a strong squad sustainably and over turn the current financial deficit created by last seasons gamble Something we've been pretty pish at over recent years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I am resigned to going with what we have Any good additions will be a welcome surprise Having said that though, if we play with wing backs, and I think we will, I’m not sure we really have the personnel Without adding a centre back, and a left wing back, we look a little makeshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our back 5 currently is nowhere near good enough for a team with ambitions of promotion. People seem optimistic but we have mid table written all over us in my opinion.

It is a specialist position and crucial to making that system work and think you are spot on, makeshift at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Given that our youngsters have been successful over the last few years, then it seems we have some very talented kids coming through. Jo’s has a proven record of developing such talent so let’s trust him to improve the players we have and turn these kids into what we hope they will be. I am very excited about what’s happening at the moment. Would rather see a team full of fit hungry home grown youngsters than Jordan Rhodes strolling about with his fupping thumb up in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
