full fathom five Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Still a quality player who rarely seems to be injured. I think he could be the leader/captain we are short of and our youngsters would almost certainly benefit from his knowledge in training/development, though i would hope if he did come here that it wouldn't also hinder the youngsters game time? Tough one but he's got too much quality for us to not get him if the figures add up and he really wants to be here. The wages and ffp are the biggest issue here though.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 9 minutes ago, Philb125 said: So at beginning of season when we were staring at ffp and embargo owlstalk was almost in complete agreement that our policy of buying / signing players at end of their career, with little to no resale value and would demand above average salaries was the cause of our worries and now, three months in this is a great idea!?! Im not sure if it’s the romance of Gary being an owl or shortsightedness or maybe we are gluttons for punishment. Interesting though to to see all the support of signing a 33 year old that’s on in excess of 100k at the moment in a time where we have to strip back more than 10m of losses to avoid an embargo or points deduction next season. This ^^^^^^^^^^^ I think it’s a non starter for so many reasons He’s a very good player, but unless he played for peanuts, I just don’t see it. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you we all wished that Jordan Rhodes had played for us and that didn't go well. Suppose it's just the romanticism of the game (though that's one of the reasons we love football ) though we rarely see the happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Maybe he wants to play for Wednesday more than to stay in the premier league. Only likely to happen if we are challenging for promotion in Jan and we can offer a promotion bonus to subsidise smaller wages The dream would be getting promoted and Cahill and Vardy wanting to play for us in that first season back. Key word being dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onge Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 This isn't based in reality. I can only see this happening in 2 years time and only if we're in the Premier League. He can still play at the highest level and won't want to take a 90% pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 As a recent member of the England Team, I’d be very surprised if he can’t step up to Championship level. FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGigsChris Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I know Jos has looked to our youth system to bolster the first team, but I didn't think he'd be looking at players that were in there 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 No thanks, rather give continued game time to Thornily (for example) than waste big wages on a player (Wednesday fan or not) who will be retiring shortly. He isn't going to make the short term difference between promotion or not so dont see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwokenGiant Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not a massive difference between top of Championship and bottom of Premiership - it’d have to weighted in such a way so as both parties are financially covered. Short term loan option with a view to permanent if promoted or free agent if not. Who knows? Stranger things have happened in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tudders Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The bloke has just played for England in our most successful World Cup since Italia 90. That was only 3 months ago. To not sign him if given the chance is nonsensical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
