Holmowl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Makes sense to me. He’ll accept a short-term contract, so needs to prove himself before the Jan window ends. We’ve 4 fit CB - Lees, Iorfa, Borner, Van Aken. We will play at least 3 CBs, possibly 4. Makes total sense to have a 5th fit CB in the squad. As Flint and Dunkley become available it adds massive competition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Is he Malcolm's lad? (Ex Barnsley & Oxford Utd for the under 40s) And does he have a massive throw? Edited November 16, 2020 by George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the formation gunna be 8 2 1 In fairness when Glen Loovens left the club, we soon realised that Tom Lees is half the player when he hasn’t got an experienced centre half next to him telling him what to do. In recent seasons we’ve signed Glen Loovens, Roger Johnson, Micheal Johnson, Anthony Gardener and Oguchi Onyewu, demonstrating that an experienced head at the back can be a good thing. This season there have been games where we’ve had to play Moses Odubajo, Liam Palmer and Joost Van Aken at Centre half. Flint is going to be out for a while and who knows when we’ll see Dunkley in a Wednesday shirt. As such, over the short term this could be a transfer that makes a lot of sense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Most times the stabilization starts from the back. Flint already proved to be a very good short term signing, I don't see why Shotton couldn't be one as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Owl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 3 hours ago, Bloxwich Owl said: Sheffield Wednesday manager Tony Pulis could make former Stoke City and Middlesbrough defender Ryan Shotton his first signing as manager. The 32-year-old also had a brief stints at Wigan Athletic and Derby County, and spent little over a season at Birmingham City too. He was released by Boro last summer though and now a free agent, he’s dropped a massive hint that he’d be up for linking up with Pulis at Wednesday. He told Stoke Sentinel: “I can still be at Championship level. The January window will get things moving before Christmas and, as fixtures come so quickly, clubs are going to need an injection of players. “For what Tony Pulis has done for my career I will never say a bad word about him. If you do what he asks, you get rewarded and stay in his team. I’m sure he knows I’m available, I’m just not sure I’m a winger anymore!” It says on his wiki "Shotton plays as a right back and due to his 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) frame he can also be used as a makeshift center forward. He also as the ability to perform a long throw-in similar to that of Rory Delap. Tony Pulis also played Shotton at right wing on a number of occasions." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Shotton So if we do sign him, it will probably be for RB/RWB.

WalthamOwl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 A typical Pulis player. This is going to be the calibre on player we go for now imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Good player at this level More readily available than Flint and Dunkley at the moment Free signing ideal Depends what formation Tony wants to play and if we need recruitment in certain areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
