Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 As usual many Owls fans are living in cloud cuckoo land. We will attract NOBODY decent as we are almost certain to go down. If these two want to stay, as long as it’s on reduced terms, we need to be biting their hands off and doing the deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 No, just no. Right time for them to move on. Lee the more difficult decision, but just dont think he's up to the rigours of a full championship season after his injury issues and can't carry players, been part of the problem in recent seasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Why not. If we really are going to recruit a team of youngsters, a few seasoned pro’s around the place will be an important stabilising presence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Deduction has screwed our recruitment prospects and hopes for next season. Would probably keep both now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichSheffWeds Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 24 minutes ago, DJMortimer said: Is there some kind of register of players quantifying their 'hunger'? This seems to be the single most important aspect of any new signing given how often it is cited on here. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems of the modern game is that so many of them seem to be quite well fed. Personality and the drive to succeed is more important than talent for sure. It’s how the club assesses this which is key. We are paying individuals vast quantities of money but somehow have signed mentality weak individuals in last 3-4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 So. Just for clarity. If they both sign, whose players will they be ? Will they still be “ the deadwood for carlos’ days” or will they be GMs signings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggars can’t be choosers and at least when the likes of Forestieri, Fox and Fletcher couldn’t get out of the door quick enough when their contracts expired, these 2 put pen to paper and committed to the club for the remainder of the season. We could do a lot worse than offering both new deals. this........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Not so sure about Lee with his injury record. Can see why we might offer terms to Nuhiu. Sign of the times when players we thought should be moved on we are scrabbling around to try to re sign them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Kidneys Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Wow .. We really are in trouble. Good servants to the club but what happened to this 'clear the decks' idea? We need better. The only players we cleared out are the ones we should have kept 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've plenty of experienced players at the club, younger players are exactly what we need. Even Wildsmith and Dawson are 24/25 respectively. The last couple of seasons we've looked like an old side, who dont have the legs to run and are knackered by 80 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddleisgod Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The attitude and comradeship in the dressing room will be key in overcoming the 12 points!! I believe these 2 are positive influences around the club so it could make sense, Players like Reach need to be 100% on side or forget them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really dont understand such comments...would you like him to be running at a tired Wednesday defence at 80 minutes plus,for another Championship side? with us starting -12?...no thanks,We might need those 6 points...On his money,with only 1 recognized striker,it would be good business for us.I still think if he doesnt stay,he will go abroad,but if not,i would be happy for him to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
