marcx666 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Young goalkeeper Cameron McCulloch has put pen to paper on a professional contract with the Owls. The shot-stopper joined Wednesday on trial in the summer and now signs with the club full time. McCulloch, who has enjoyed spells with Liverpool, Manchester City and Bury, was delighted to commit to the Owls. The custodian said: “I’m very happy to sign for Sheffield Wednesday. “It’s an intense environment coming on trial at a professional football club, but you’ve got to grab it with both hands. “I’ve been welcomed into the group, they have been very co-operative with me. “For a big club like Sheffield Wednesday to have two goalkeepers from the academy playing in the Championship, it makes you think ‘wow’, you really have a chance at this club. “I’m looking forward to getting some game time with the Under-23s and then hopefully I can push towards training with the first team.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Well done young man. But yes i think lots will just see this as confirmation Westwood will not be here come September. My money is on Swansea on loan to be made permanent in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the bit that caught my eye, if young players can see they will have a chance of playing for the first team if they are good enough and work hard enough, more will stay, and more will want to join us.

And if we are as hard up as it appears that’s exactly why we need to persevere with younguns like them, Baker and co. We wont be able to compete with finances so they need another reason to join us!!

Option 12 seems a bit outdated. Yes / No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, we've let 8 players go, some sold, some released but yet we are going at the same level of investment? Don't see how that can compute in anyone book. Seems to me like we are just now trying to adhere to the rules whereas previously we invested heavily and overspent. I've personally no problem in being a club that tries the approach of blooding youngsters instead of paying for 'proven experienced quality' so long as the prices and ambitions reflect this. Looks like we've been forced down this route anyway, just hope the youngsters are ready to step up and that we give them encouragement if they make mistakes. People paying expensive prices leads quite rightly to ambition, that would be my worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season spending more than allowed, this season still spending more than allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we bring the ‘rules’into the equation after apparently showing little regard for them in the previous seasons. After all isn’t that how we got in this mess, gambling by overspending and now having to drastically reduce that spending? Don’t answer that one mate, it’s not worth it is it as we will never agree and it’s been done a million times. We are where we are and to me on the footballing side we look in trouble because of our limited options in the backline. I hope some of the young ones can step up to the plate as Jos is going to need every bit of help in getting out of this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
