Windass has a close relationship with James Beattie. https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/exclusive-sheffield-wednesday-bid-josh-windass-rejected-wigan-athletic-2947087 Great, now we can get on with looking for some new players, who might actually improve us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 We offered van Aken in exchange. Wigan are holding out for a better offer and hope we come back and take Windass on a free transfer instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 According to the Wigan end they still owe Rangers an instalment of £500K. My guess is we will have to offer them something around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fine balancing act though, we're desperate for players, but each week that passes they are paying a wage they can't afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Windass is not garbage. We’ve signed plenty of forwards who have been though. He is probably as good as we’ll get for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fine balancing act though, we're desperate for players, but each week that passes they are paying a wage they can't afford. I think around £500K for Windass isn’t too bad. He’s someone who cost £2.5m a couple seasons ago and he’s a decent age. Seemingly they’ve turned down a few offers for Jamal Lowe as they owe Portsmouth £750k. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a low is when tin pot teams Nick your players off you because you are skint. Stoke taking whelan and West Brom taking brunt was a low for me. And Burnley with grant. They may have done ok recently but they are tin pot clubs and it does my head in. Having bids rejected for players and getting punished for spending too much money is just an inconvenience. And better than we were in the late naughties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Not sure this is something to worry about. We may have bid £150k and Wigan have rejected it so we all go back with a higher offer. Even if we (somehow) had millions to spend but we shouldn’t be throwing it around, we would still need to haggle for every penny we can get off a purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I mean in terms of people thinking we'll get a squad ready for day 1 of the season. I still don't think people realise how much poo we are in. Too busy blaming the EFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
