thewookieisdown Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 But if we'd got into a bidding war with Villa at the time, we probably would have lost it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking same ,wasnt he used as a sub a lot ? Average player and if the season hadn't been curtailed he would be back where he came from Sorry forgot this is owlstalk, I should have said Bang average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, as abject as we were, not having the confidence knocked out of us and taking three points could have been the difference between going down and staying up. If there is a good reason not to sign CH this is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said during his time at Barnsley we got in touch to ask him to run his contract down at Barnsley, so we could have him On a free at the end of the season . So he joined Villa instead . Typical Wednesday, missed out on a top level player there and for probably a nominal fee ! "I thought 'I can't go to Sheffield Wednesday, no way'. I'd ruin the relationship I'd got with the club.“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Few things I would say about this. Firstly, that sort of behaviour seems to be completely common place in football. Clubs and agents are always asking players these sorts of questions. Making false promises. Stringing them along and asking them to make risky decisions. I'm not saying the players are guilt free but lets be honest, if you have any inside knowledge of how transfer and contract deals are negotiated and how players feel about them then listen to the likes of Under the cosh podcast. Secondly, if Villa wanted him then we had no chance anyway. Maybe they'd contacted him. Maybe his agent was trying to get him a move to Villa? So many ifs and buts.

darra Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Always thought that we put bids in for him that we're rejected. Reason being that Barnsley thought we'd got Winnall on the cheap and weren't happy with us and were determined that we wouldn't get him. There were also rumours unconfirmed that Villa got him for less than we'd offered Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Barnsley wouldn’t sell him to us after the Winnall reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hindsight is amazing. BUT if we’d have spent the money needed to sign him at the same time we signed Winnall, instead of spending millions on ANOTHER striker in Rhodes....we may have gone up. type of midfielder we’ve needed for ages. Plenty of assists in him and would have possibly helped Winnall hit the ground running too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
