As a Sheffield Wednesday fan the ONLY people you should ever consider us bringing to the club are: 1) Ex Players to play for us again 2) Ex Players to manage us (no other candidates should ever be considered) 3) Ex Managers to come back and manage us again (No matter how bad things were when they left) It's crucial you all stick to the plan. Under no circumstances must you EVER be forward thinking, innovative, imaginative or sensible *END OF SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT* Sarky git... I go to all this effort, just to be trolled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality wise he would be great, but then the likes of George Boyd and Dave Jones had great quality and we signed them at the point where they were coming down the other side of the hill. Anything above £20K a week would be madness in our financial predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) I would take him. We are crying out for an experienced player and one that knows the club is even better. Was watching Gareth Barry being interviewed the other day and thinking that's what we need. A Gareth Barry or James Milner type round the dressing room. Something who is really respected by all the players but also respects whatever the manager tells him to do and would act for the manager not against him.

And the only reason I would suggest Brunt is because he knows the club. We also dont know what influence he had on the dressing room. And one things for sure we need to replace Semedo and Loovens in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apswfcowl Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I've only been to WBA once and left as soon as the game finished. Not sure if anyone hung around but, if so, then yes, it's time to leave. Hope this helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunt is not in the same mould either, how would being here in 2007 give him any real advantage in terms of where we are now? Different owner, different structure different players. What do you think would be a reasonable wage to pay him? We are spending more than 100% of our income on wages and in the past 5 years have been among the worst in the division for recouping money from player sales. On this basis how can it be a good move to sign a 35-year-old with no sell on value who has been earning Premier League wages for a decade?

Where the changing rooms are? Knows where the home dressing room is. But I think what I really mean is it gives him another few months of grace before we all want him out of the club for not being as good as Ronaldo is at 35.
