Perhaps, I feel with the 343 formation we could do with another forward player (not a striker) so maybe he’s just coming in to replace Wallace’s place in the squad like you say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we'll struggle to get Reach in the side, because the only real place he can fit is left wing back and he's not particularly good there because he's poor defensively. So they have another year under contract, which can be renewed if all parties are happy. Reach played 53 times for us last year, not bad for someone who will struggle to get into the side.

Good player for someoneed Due to our injury crisis last season Reach fitted into several positiIons to the point that he was our player of the season. I'd rather he went than FF or BB but he's a player we should be looking to keep it at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Still think regardless of the FFP constraints we’ll look to keep this squad together for one last crack at promotion before the inevitable break-up of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Cannot see us selling Bannan and FF - there are other assets that could bring in cash and not rip out the heart of our team. In saying that they are at an age where their worth might start decreasing anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 This confirmation is from this afternoon's Mirror and may have been better before season ticket deadline - "Sheffield Wednesday are facing a huge summer fire sale in a desperate battle to balance the books. They face the prospect of losing top earners like Fernando Forestieri, Barry Bannan and George Boyd as the Championship club struggle after a disappointing season. Wednesday put players on big contracts to try to win promotion but they finished in 15th and will now have to trim the squad. Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay is facing a challenging season ahead and it comes just a week after it emerged that Aston Villa are facing major cutbacks after missing out on promotion."

I'd rather he went than FF or BB but he's a player we should be looking to keep it at all possible. I see what you're saying, but it's sort of the problem with him. He seems to be decent wide left. And he's decent in center mid. He's can fill in at left wing back if we're desperate.. but.. Nando's so much better wide left it's crazy. Bannan and Lee are so much better in center mid. Left wing back isn't where i'd want reach 24/7 based on his performances there previously. Ok those were under Carlos, and Jos seems to get more out of people, but I'd much rather we signed a player who can actually defend to play in what is primarily a defensive position. What I'm saying is, I don't see how Reach gets into our best 11. And if he doesn't.. well he was a 5 million quid player a couple of years ago and we need to keep FFP in mind.

gurujuan Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 If any of this offloading turns out to be true, can we expect a sizeable reduction in match day ticket prices, and perhaps some sort of rebate for s a son ticket holders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not many clubs get fans to complete surveys to find out how much they want them to spend on the squad and then charge season ticket prices depending on the results.
