TrickyTrev Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Perhaps Curran thinks we should’ve given the job to Zola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like saying Big Ron would not attract better players than Danny Wilson - clearly he would. Not sure Bielsa will will last beyond Christmas? Nor do I think we will be competing for top players this window anyway. Take your point but money talks IMO in today's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Our recent track record of buying big name players has been hit and miss to say the least. Abdi and Rhodes have hardly set the division on fire and have been massive wastes of big money so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the pulling power, you need to be in a position to attract a big name manager, We aren't, Birmingham sacked Rowett and tried it, that went well..... We need a manager who can make a silk purse out of a sows ear, not someone who's on 5 live 3 times a week. Jos has deserved his chance..See what he can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socialist_Owl Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 2 hours ago, RichieB said: Sheffield Wednesday could miss out on big-name transfer targets because rival clubs have managers with more pulling power, fears old boy Terry Curran. Jos Luhukay stabilised the Owls in the Championship after replacing Carlos Carvalhal in January, but the Dutchman, who arrived in England as a virtual unknown, has a much lower profile than many other bosses in the second tier. That could see Wednesday paying the price when it comes to recruitment, claims Curran, a winger at Hillsborough between 1979 and 1982. “Look at someone like Steven Gerrard going to Rangers,” Curran said. “Him alone will get players in there because he’s a big name. “Going back a few years, there was Kenny Dalglish going to Blackburn Rovers. He was a big name. Alan Shearer wouldn’t have gone there without Dalglish, who was a big pull.” Wednesday were sliding towards relegation trouble last term before a late-season surge as key players returned from injury saw them finish in 15th spot. The only player signed during the January window by Luhukay, who had a history of promotions in German football before being appointed by Wednesday, was £500,000 defensive midfielder Joey Pelupessy from Dutch club Heracles Almelo. “It needs somebody who is going to fetch in top, top players,” Curran added. “I look at it and I’m thinking: ‘They should be buying slightly better players.’ “In terms of Jos, I’ve not heard much of him. I’d sooner have a bigger name who will attract slightly better quality names to the club.” Old geezer talking out his arse. Alert the media.

theowlsman Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Wednesday, Wednesday, ra, ra, ra. Sabre rattling, and let’s bring back every former Wednesday player under the sun etc. I get all that sun shines out of Wednesday bumholes stuff, but TC makes a valid point. Nobody but us knows anything about Jos. If a player’s agent tells him Jos Luhukay wants to talk to him, the player’s first question will be Who?

FreshOwl Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So Curran wants rid because he hasn’t heard of him? thats it, these past players (Curran,newsome etc) need to stop thinking anyone gives a shiit about their opinion and go focus on their career instead of giving their two penn’orth on situations they don’t really know anything about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the next Wednesday legend. Yes, but do they have club plants on football forums? Yes. That’s good enough for me then, give Jess a bell.
