striker Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Looks like other clubs interested, wonder if we are ready to deal? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6074040/southampton-sheffield-wednesday-kieren-westwood/ SOUTHAMPTON are chasing the summer signature of Sheffield Wednesday keeper Keiren Westwood. The Republic of Ireland international, who has a year left on his Owls contract, is out for the season after suffering a fresh groin injury. And Westwood, 33, might now have played his last game for Wednesday with Leeds and Celtic also interested in the experienced stopper. The Irishman fits the bill for Mark Hughes’ relegation-threatened Saints, who are looking to off-load Fraser Forster in the summer and want competition for his replacement Alex McCarthy. Westwood has been out for four months after surgery on his groin but suffered a tear on his return to training last week. He will miss their remaining Championship fixtures as well as Ireland's post-season friendlies against France, United States and Celtic.

whatdial Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Doubtful they have 2 keepers already good enough for the championship. Don’t think they would waste their money paying for another keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewsburyowl58 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Rather keep Westwood , he is still our number 1 by a distance for me . If we are serious about going up we should be holding onto our quality players . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Adios then. That’s one high earning crock off the wage bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasthagotanycheese Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Everybody has their price. If Soton or anybody else offer daft money then we have to sell to facilitate improvements elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersiggi Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 With FFP looming it's plausible that Chansiri would view a 33 yr old who could still command a relatively decent fee as a reasonable oppoŕtunity to get some money in the coffers. Dawson and Wildsmith have done well in the main but it's a big jump to say they can fight it out for number 1 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Common sense tells us we will probably have to sell one or two players with FFP issues looming. Westwood might be one of them to help our financial position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewsburyowl58 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 There’s far more expensive players in the striking department we ought to offload first . Rather hang onto KW . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 id let him go we have to bring the wage bill down before anyone can join the wage bill plus he is very injury proned ,even before this season he was not fit to train before games many times due to injuries . wildsmith though needs to improve his game if he wants to be no1.

Owling Wolfe Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If we're gonna let Kieran Westwood go we can forget about promotion next season. Wildsmith is good but nowhere near No 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildsmith is good but nowhere near No 1. We won’t get promoted next season, with or without Westwood. We are heading for a couple of fallow years, and I’m not convinced a large % of the fan base have got their heads round that. Top 3 next season will be Southampton and 2 of the sides that don’t make it through the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood had a right go at someone who said he was injury prone on Twitter and pointed out the number of games he had played - be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I think it’s dangerous when you start letting your best players go, but if we have financial problems and no one else can be sold then I guess we have no choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleo Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Difficult one but would you swap Westy for a really pacey young winger ? I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
