@owlstalk Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 It’s no secret that the Owls are in need of a big overhaul this summer as they bid to try and return to the heights of the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons. Wednesday’s current squad has been plagued by injuries this season, so much so that they currently have an injury list consisting of over ten first-team players. And it’s not only the injury problems that are an issue for Wednesday, who host Reading at Hillsborough on Saturday, it’s the amount of players who are now over the other side of 30 https://georgesmithfootball.wordpress.com/2018/04/18/opinion-the-three-most-important-areas-sheffield-wednesday-must-strengthen-this-summer-if-they-are-to-remain-with-a-5-3-2-formation/ Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 "This summer promises to be a massive one for Wednesday, but there is no reasoning to suggest that it is going to be a quick-fix for Luhukay. It could take several transfer windows to create the squad that he wants." If he doesn't get it sorted in one transfer window the knifes will be out and he'll be lucky to get a second. Unfortunately.

Flat Owl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nothing new really, We've needed a Diame type for 10 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 We lose the play off final we need a beast in the middle of the field, a pacy winger and a decent striker - 2 years later we still need a pacy winger and a beast in the middle but if fit the striker issues have been sorted. Will we be here this time next season saying the same thing or for the first transfer window since DC arrival will we sign the players we need instead of signing the players that are available.

SS Owl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Needed a quality defender or two as well, a CH and a LB, we signed Fox, Vernacio and Van Aken, non of whom could be called experienced or quality (Van Aken possibly is one for the future)......

Don't think we will be able to afford the players we really need for at least another year, possibly longer if we can't offload some expensive players.

S36 OWL Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 So George stating what we have all known for years. We need pace down the flanks, a midfield beast and a powerful commanding centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggy1867 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Realy dont get the obsession on ere with this "midfield beast". Agree we lack pace tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Centre half has needed strengthening for some time. The youngsters have done well when called upon but I'd like to see someone with a more games under his belt. Whatever system we play next season (or a mix according the Jos) left back must surely be a priority position. Mustn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need to pander to Rhodes. He needs to shape up and fit in with us, earn his place. We have several central defenders of varying sizes if thats you mean by 'giant stopper'. Possibly need a defensive midfielder to replace Hutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Want us to go with 4 at the back next season. New centre half to partner Lees who has leadership qualities. New left back - can we have someone who is bl00dy good instead of our last 3 recruits who have been crap. New defensive midfielder to compete with Pelupessy. Ideally someone who is physical who can dish it out. It pains me to say it, but we can’t rely on Hutch. We need a fast wide attacking option, ideally on the right. I was saying the same thing after our playoff final defeat at Wembley. We need to get it right this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Totally agree. Those are the 3 positions in desperate need. I would also add a new right sided defender to challenge Hunt as Palmer is pants and someone with a bit of pace up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
