The issue is our recruitment team not having the skill or ability to find his replacement. This He was a brilliant servant to the club but the time was right. HOWEVER what we did with the replacements (Pelupessy Luongo Brown Dele Paterson) was retain or bring in much worse players than the Kieron Lee of today. So even tho the time was right our inability to replace him means it was the wrong decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand us not offering him a new contract if we had a better alternative to replace him but the fact is we haven't managed it. As things stand it is looking likely he will be lining up against us next season. We haven't found an adequate replacement yet and I'm not confident we will have by the time that fixture comes around if both teams continue on their current trajectory this season.

He played 30 times for us last season. At least we got Brown in to play a creative midfield role though, much more reliable......................

I agree about Luongo and Dele. You can add Kachunga, Brown and Marriott to that as well. Also Joey P who has started less than half of our games this season. The money we've wasted on these would have more than paid for a new contract for KL and another good player or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't found an adequate replacement yet and I'm not confident we will have by the time that fixture comes around if both teams continue on their current trajectory this season. I’ve not seen anything about how long his contract is at Bolton but I guess it’s possible he just signed until the end of the season given his age, injury history and the high turnover of players in general at that level. If we were to be relegated I’d be in for him again if I were Wednesday. To build a team we need to clear out most of our dead wood, bring in 4-5 experienced players for the spine of the team and then bring in a lot of athletic young players who are being released by Prem clubs for the rest of the squad. Lee would be a perfect player to have around at that level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Morepork Posted March 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2021 If there was one Wednesday player I wouldn't begrudge a single penny to it would be this lad, all day. In reality, he deserved whatever he made at Wednesday and so much more. Professional, unassuming, industrious, dynamic, skillful, intelligent and above all, underrated. Top Wednesday player. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was true, considering the pandemic and his age, we could probably have agreed a contract for half that amount for this season. Wonder how much Izzy Brown is on?

I think Izzy Brown seems like a nice guy, and to be honest I feel like he's trying his hardest. But the way he moves and recovers from a sprint has more than a hint of Rooney's post-England career about him. Knees are in pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeoman's work while he was here, to be sure. But couldn't seem to stay on the pitch. It was time for Lee and Wednesday to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume, given the state of the club, and financials of his parent club, that there is a very favourable wage agreement in place. I would think it's the reverse: I bet we pay Brown a fraction of what Kieran Lee was getting weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
