@owlstalk Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Sheffield Wednesday fan Louis Shackshaft says in The Star today that the Owls should bring Sam Winnall back into the fold at Hillsborough It seems crazy to think that the future of Sam Winnall is in doubt despite him scoring 78 league goals throughout his career and proving himself to be one of the Football League’s most prolific strikers. When Sheffield Wednesday stole Winnall from Barnsley for a nominal fee back in January 2017, I was intrigued to see if the inventive striker could make a distinguished career in the Championship with – then at least – promotion chasing side... https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-fan-column-it-d-be-great-to-see-sam-winnall-given-a-second-chance-1-9111984?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minton Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Well it won't be next season with the injury he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If we can somehow get money for Rhodes and Fletcher I'd happily give Winnall a chance in the squad. If we can't and/or by some miracle Hirst signs a new deal I would think Winnall is one of our players most likely to bring in a return on investment and could help avoid FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Used right he scores goals.. no question. But.. we're stocked for strikers and at the same time financially in the hole.. He's very much desired by Derby.. so cashing in seems the only sensible course.. unless someone wants to give us 15m for Joao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Cant see us shifting him even if we wanted to with his current injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If FF stays I can't see the club having him back. Burnt his bridges at Swfc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onge Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 He's one of our few saleable assets - not too old, not going to be on high wages and if he can shift the injury there would be suitors for him (unlike a lot of our squad). Given we're unlikely to want to part with Fessi, I can see Winnall being sold to help balance the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all part of football management. Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham famously hated the sight of each other but it didn't stop them being a prolific partnership for Man Utd. If, when Winnall is back, Jos can get the best out of both of them then that has to be the best solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnall has an injury that will keep him out of football until approaching the Jan 2019 transfer window. Derby would only want him for a knock down price in those circumstances which should not suit Wednesday's valuation. If an agreement is already in place he'll continue his rehabilitation in Derby. If not we'll probably have a further addition to the Hillsborough sick list til Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Sam Winnall in 2 season with Barnsley scored a lot of goals, when we signed him he had scored more headed goals than any other player in the league so what do we do - play it to his feet. He was a £500k version of Jordan Rhodes and if he had been given the chances Rhodes was, he would have scored a lot more goals. But now needs must, we have too many strikers we won't find anyone outside of S6 stupid enough to take Fletcher on and on £35k+ a week, Hooper has a mystery injury that has kept him out for 4 months and the club continue to not have a clue, Fessi is coming back from ligament damage and often players are not the same after these injuries. That leaves Rhodes on £40k+ a week we will struggle to find anyone to pay his salary and a £5m+ fee for him and I can see a loan till January somewhere like Scotland as a good option, Nuihu may or may not resign and Joao has a little over a year left on his contract. That leaves Winnall a player wanted by derby who we could get in the region of £2-3m for who I think will be sacrificed not to mention he does work well with others and picking between him and Fessi the little man will win every time.

wawawuto Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We lack players who will consistently fight for the shirt and always at least put 100% in. Winnall does both imo. Will be gutted if he is sold, would much rather see rhodes/ fletcher moved on than him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a deal has already been agreed I can't see Derby parting with £2-3M for Winnall with his injury liable to keep him out for about half of next season. Be nice if they did though.

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Alongside Forestieri and Nuhiu he would score an absolute shedload. But that's only if him and Nando can kiss and make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadTheOwl Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We all would have liked this to have worked out, but on the plus side we should profit from his sale. Get rid which will help the FFP cause, then forget about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
