There is no loan window this season as there was last we have just 8 days and it shuts until January. Unless there is some free agents about. Though we done have a great record with recruiting them either. As a side point has Hooper found himself a new employer yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and it’s probably a good indicator as to why we released him in first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should that list have been given to the chairman at the end of last season, seems more hope then any chance of actually signing any players in that we need. Would have loved a few of the young prem players from Man Utd - but not going to happen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought with his record when fit someone like a West Brom or a Swansea would have had a punt on him being a free agent, unless of course he is heading back to Celtic.

Never fit though is he pal, can’t doubt his talent but for his wages he’s a huge risk I thought he might go MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 8 days to get our act together. Bring in a new manager, bring some players in and maybe sell a couple. We also have the Forestieri issue hanging over us. Only Pudil and Boyd have got themselves new clubs. The others we have released haven’t found clubs yet. Hooper will be wanting a minimum £25k PW and I don’t think many clubs will be wanting to pay that much. I think we offered him £16k PW contract extension (half his current wage) but he turned us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) My take on it is, any new manager now, will be expected, if we do our homework with the appointment, to proceed with the work that has been done over the summer It would be ridiculous for someone to come in now, and try and instil a new way of playing. The same goes for recruitment, Bullen and rest of the staff will know what’s needed to improve our chances, and they are the ones best placed to decide what’s needed. Then the new coach, whoever he may be, can work with the squad, perhaps slowly introducing some of his own ideas Come January, he will will have had time to assess the squad properly, and can then make any changes he feels would help. It’s vitally important that we balance the squad, whether the new man is in charge or not Edited July 31, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Norwich taking the pee........ Sheffield Wednesday have turned down a cheeky offer from Norwich City for striker Jordan Rhodes, The Star understands. It is understood the Canaries reignited their interest in Rhodes, who spent last on loan at Carrow Road, earlier this week. But the Premier League newcomers attempted to sign Rhodes, the Owls' club-record £8m signing, on a free transfer. Norwich's 'bid' has left Wednesday's hierarchy incensed and has been flatly rejected.

WalthamOwl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Villa looking to make their 11th signing of the summer. That’s a crazy amount for a team that has been promoted, feel for the players that got them up. Obviously need some improvements but 11 seems very excessive.
