Luke Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Nice to get the future of Sheffield Wednesday tied down to contracts Everyone from youth whose played this season has stepped up and gave jos plenty to think about Can only be positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Stobbs is strange one for me. He's never been anywhere near the 1st team. Only getting sniff now due to our injury crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Fantastic news, it's as if someone has suddenly discovered that we have an academy. I'd love one of the young lads to smash in the winner tomorrow and run up and celebrate in front of Carlos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Gets the fans onside and won’t be on mega wages - think it’s a good idea. Gives the youth a boost. Like said above, get Clare tied down, and both our young keepers. Bob’s your uncle Fanny’s your aunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, Jos has had him training with the first team and brought him on at Barnsley. He's obviously seen enough to think he warrants a new deal.

Stobbs was given his first team debut by Stuart Gray, he has suffered 2 serious injuries in close succession which kept him from playing for the best part of 2 seasons, finally now he's showing what he's capable of .

Peake Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Surprised to see Stobbs get 2 and a half years although happy to see them both sign up. Expect Clare next on a 3 and a half year deal. Looks like Clare, Thorniley and possibly Stobbs will be integrated into the first team squad full time now then. Definitely expecting a couple of big sales in the summer now. Fully expecting Nuhiu, Loovens and Wallace to be released as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 If this injury crisis has had one positive its shone a light on the many great prospects we have coming through the academy. It’s almost as though we had completely forgotten it’s existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think this tells us investment in the first team will be significantly reduced as suggested in the survey the other week. Don't have anything against signing young lads up, because quite frankly if we were going to invest heavily again I don't trust those in charge to spend it wisely.

With FFP coming up I don’t think we have a choice but to tighten our belt. Investing in youth is what sustainable clubs do. I just hope DC doesn’t think he can still get away charging us full whack.

WalthamOwl Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Not seen a great deal of Stobbs. Do people that have seen more of him think he has the talent to make the step up to the first team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have anything against signing young lads up, because quite frankly if we were going to invest heavily again I don't trust those in charge to spend it wisely. The thing is though, we can probably afford to reduce the investment in our first team without reducing the standard of our squad, such is the wasteful nature of much of our recent spending. Having to spend more wisely whilst also bedding in some promising young players might not be the worst thing, especially if other talented youngsters start to view us as a club with a clear pathway of progression which would enable them to flourish at our club as well.
