The trouble is they are very well sought after those type of strikers. We either have to try and loan someone from the English leagues or overseas. Brewster from Liverpool could be one to look at. Do you honestly think Liverpool would loan us a promising young striker when the families of the 96 victims still want SWFC to be found culpable? If we ever get promoted the first game at Anfield will be interesting. Edited May 16, 2019 by Hougoumont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I went to Liverpool in the 90's, the locals were always friendly and would go out of there way to thank you for the support the people of Hillsborough gave their fans in the immediate aftermath of the disaster.

I like the Odubajo signing if true though. I think we all feel let down, but he probably does too. I'm sure he can still be lethal if he gets the service. He showed evidence of this at Norwich. I imagine our targeted signings out wide will change the dynamic of our play in his favour, then its up to Bruce to try to coach him back to his best, or accept that he's never going to reach that level again and offload him at the first sniff of a reasonable offer. We've had some disappointments at Wednesday, but he'd be far from being our greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No animosity towards our fans from theirs. Car parked other side of Stanley Park nearer Goodison Park ...no problems. BUT, mention the Sun newspaper or South Yorkshire Police and that’s a different matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I know a dozen or so Liverpool supporters who don't hang about together and everyone one of them has nothing but praise for Swfc fans talk about how people around the ground allowed them inside to call family and make me a cup of tea and the likes when the news was breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I never accepted that CPS explanation that the current Sheffield Wednesday is a different company; I find it extremely unsatisfactory,” Hicks says. “Sheffield Wednesday were profiting in 1989 from holding the semi-final and selling us tickets but the conditions were unsafe and our loved ones died.

If they're in the market for a striker I would imagine Rhodes will be playing here next season I reckon he'll go back to Huddersfield. I just can't see him being someone that plays regularly for us, despite Bruce reportedly being a fan. Necessitates playing a 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 if he plays, he can't do the lone striker's role, and IMO Bruce will want to have players in the squad that can be flexible to a couple of different systems that don't necessitate two up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he barely figured for them in the Championship then why is he going to get a game for them in the Premier League? Just makes no sense to me at all.
