S1Owl Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 He looks miserable in his interviews along with Reach's anti-celebration. Be it wages, Pulis affect, no money, DC.. Somet stinks big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just now, Bluesteel said: One of the few shrewd investments we’ve made. Got to make a profit on it. Yep. Our utterly woeful transfer dealings are well-documented at this point, but Windass was the one in recent years who struck me as a really good deal. £400k for a forward with his attributes was a steal, and if he showed improvements whilst here, we could be looking at a decent fee for him. That we might be letting him leave for even less than we paid after just a few months is crazy, but more importantly, very, very, worrying. Especially when you consider that he's clearly the only forward player who Pulis can bear to play with any regularity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Can't believe this is true, then I realised it's Wednesday so anything is possible. Still think it's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like perhaps signing a balanced team rather than collecting expensive centre halves? Good job there is no money left for Pulis then, or we'd sign another three or four in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 And if he wants to play in the EPL, then stick around at Wednesday 'cos that's where we're aiming for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Again let me just point out that this could well be Pulis doing some wheeling and dealing Windass is NOT a Pulis type player and wont' get a game after January Pulis (and we) needs a new big brute of a striker who can hold the ball up, power headers in, hold defenders off and shoot on target Big, muscley, powerful, angry and tall That's why this move is being made Windass won't get a sniff of football after January (like Rhodes now) so why keep him? We should be welcoming this move not berating it 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grandad Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Given we are struggling to pay our players wages - IF we did get this deal through on staged payments - its feasible we are needing to sell him because we can't afford to pay Wigan the next instalment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case, very surprised Pulis picks him every week. He’s stubborn Pulis, if he didn’t fancy him at all, he wouldn’t even bother starting him. I agree that he’s probably not Pulis cup of tea but I think there’s more to it than just Pulis doesn’t fancy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just a thought. Wasn’t Windass the only player we paid a fee for in the summer? Maybe Wigan are knocking on the door for the cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree I dont think Pulis likes any of the options and Windass is the best of a very bad bunch so gets the nod But there's not a cat in hells chance he'd even make the bench in a fully formed Pulis squad Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be welcoming this move not berating it What makes you think we are bringing anyone in in January? If we haven’t got the means to pay the players we have then the EFL won’t sanction any move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
