Guest wilyfox Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Fair play. 3yr deal on his home patch. Can’t knock him for that. We move on...quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I’m with Grandad. You don’t get promoted with 2nd rate strikers. Mr C is going to have to pull out a wedge or do some much cleverer negotiating. Our success this season depends on us bringing in quality strikers to the club who can regularly score. Or hope that Monk listens to me and gives Iorfa a chance up front. Iorfa is the new Paul Warhurst, I’m convinced of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Can't we close the thread now? I've just read 23 pages of an emotional rollercoaster, will he, won't he, is he good enough, isn't he? Then I find out he's not signed. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigs got promoted with second rate strikers like Leon Clarke and McGoldrick so if there is a system in place and a good team spirit in the dressing room it can be done I personally think we should be looking abroad for strikers as in England they cost a fortune, take Brentford splashing out £10m on a League One player There are a lot of gems to be unearthed abroad, I remember when the likes of Mahrez and Benrahma came to England as relative unknowns and now they're worth millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedmilkman Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Theres a lot of players still available and many more on loan when prem clubs finalise their squads. Leko isnt the messiah, I just hope we're working hard behind the scenes and rumour mill to bring in better than windass and da cruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hes managed an avarage of 12 games a season for 4 years. We don't want more players to keep our physions busy. Anybody who thinks we've learned lessons from the past - this potential transfer suggested we hadn't/ we can't afford (literally) this kind of massive risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No freedom of movement in general terms between European countries now, though not sure what the visa / work permit situation is like post Brexit. Don’t suppose it changes for countries outside the EU but that means anyone we go for has to have “x” amount of international caps I think.

Monk will be disappointed im sure and there will be other strikers on our radar. I know the transfer window shuts in October but we need two strikers minimum in ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday have missed out on the signing of versatile forward Jonathan Leko. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I suppose of we had a bid of £1m accepted then at least we have some money to spend. Depending on what happens with the accounts could see a situation where we can spend money on players but keep wages lower than those in the past.
