cookeh Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 We need some pace, and I've hear he's quite zippy with his passing.. pretty reliable in possession too, don't make a bungle of it too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to know which Sheffield club they are talking about. It is understood, however, that Honeyman would love the chance to stay in the Championship, and jumping ship to Sheffield Wednesday would give him that opportunity. It is not known how much it would take to prize Honeyman away from a debt-ridden Sunderland side, but considering that he is out of contract in one years’ time, Sheffield United will be hoping to snap him up on a cut price deal. HITC Jog on, nothing to see here then. Edited April 23, 2018 by oldtawnyowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it came out before the roker report, and HITC allegedly got it from the sun so was wondering if that was where the roker report got it from ?

Doesn't really matter though does it. Not much difference between HITC and the Sun IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attyjake Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm concerned he was in a team that are going down, If he was that good surely he would have helped keep them up, playing in a team that lose so often may have dented his confidence also. just a thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all, it was overwhelming how not one of them rated him, as for Lees there was quite a few who said that he was better than a lot of the players Leeds had. So no its not the same.

mike312 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 For the first time in a while we can actually start our transfer business early. I would imagine Jos knows who he wants to keep etc. I'm expecting a busy but not a expensive transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) I don't know too much about him, but there's a few encouraging signs that our transfer strategy seems to be changing. 1.) Targeting players early. We've been far too passive in recent seasons, not been proactive enough and seen other teams sign our targets before we've even begun talks with the club or player. 2.) Good age. Jos has spoken about bringing the age of the squad down, and Honeyman is a great age. 22 years old, he's still got three or four years before reaching his "peak." He's proven he's capable of playing a lot of games in a season (44 games so far this season), and so won't come with any doubts regarding his injury or fitness record. 3.) Experience. Although only young, he's got over 50 games under his belt, with half a dozen in the Premier League. We have been gushing about Sean Clare, but despite been a similar age, he's less games in professional football, and the majority at lower levels. 4.) Potential/Sell on value. He should be an affordable signing. Sunderland will have a For Sale tag on every player on their books, and a player out of contract in a years time, will be particularly available for transfer. Even a fee of up to a £1m could be a relative bargain. In a couple of seasons time, a 24 year old English midfielder playing consistently well in a Championship (or, unlikely I know, Premiership) side, could be worth A LOT of money. In terms of the shape of the squad...for me, it's a good indication that Luhukay wants someone to play the role Reach had been playing in the 3-5-2, the runner, the advanced midfielder. Which perhaps indicates he sees Reach as a left wing back next season. And it also perhaps says a lot about his faith in Kieran Lee overcoming his current injury issue.
