jonnyowl Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 No no no no no no Another potential signing that is all wrong for the club and has Piaxo grubby hands all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how fit he'll be or if it's worth it for 10 games though... Said to a mate yesterday about Simpson offer them a deal to the end of the season at something like a grand a game on a pay as you play deal than at the end of the season decide on what happens next. If they're any good most it will cost initially is 18k. If they're not 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Maybe we’re hoping he’ll teach Harris and Reach how to play football? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If it was for the final 10 games, then why the hell not. We're all but doomed so might as well throw the dice on a wildcard. Anyone who signs now will want to do well to get in the shop window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbyStyle Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 You’d like to hope he’s sorted himself out but he’s not exactly coming into a positive environment. ”If I can give him an opportunity I will do. But Ravel has got to do it himself hasn’t he” -Neil Warnock ”I’m not interested in talking about him” -Chris Wilder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be in trouble with the law but he can't even see out a season with a small Dutch club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Forestieri left we have had zero flair in the team. Nobody with a trick or a bit of imagination to open up defences. Football is an entertainment industry, I want to be entertained. This current side does not entertain me. No brainier for me, will be low cost and if it doesn’t work out, it won’t be nearly as bad as signing Adam Reach for £5 million!

CalmJimmers Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If his wages were ridiculously low then I'd be up for it. Be far too good for the Championship nevermind League 1 if he put some effort in and got his head down. Would be up to him though - got all the ability, he'd need to accept his wages would reflect how he's done pretty much nothing his whole career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 33 minutes ago, Kanye West said: As FlyingOwl said, I listened to the podcast he did with Rio too and it could be a turning point for him if he settles in a club quite local to him and gets his head down. Is it a huge risk? Of course it is, but in reality if he does get his head down and takes the opportunity without p*ssing around he'd probably be the best player in League 1. Can happen. Reminds me of a young lad who had huge talent but was a bit of a wrong un getting himself into bother on the training pitch and off. He played for a league club but was let go and ended up playing non-league football. Then he decided to turn his life around and ended up playing for England. Sometimes a little light turns on in the brain and the rest as they say is history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Reach has played 200 games for Wednesday alone, that's nearly twice as much as Morrison has played his entire career. And they're the same age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I remember also Paddy Kenny talking about Adel Taraabt. Said he had an absolutely shocking attitude but the best player in the league and even if he didn’t turn up to training you just had to start him. Ravel on his A game would be the best player in league one & I think it’s a risk worth taking with the right man manager. Type of player who might go missing for 80 minutes but win you a game with one piece of magic. Also a bit of added motivation on his side if things ended so poorly at Sheff Utd. Its completely up to him though. He’s said himself that it’s his fault that he’s not fulfilled his potential. Only he can sort himself out & I have my doubts that he ever fully will. I just think it’s worth a risk. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don't have a problem with Wednesday letting anyone train with us and have a look at them. Seems a lot more sensible than just signing them without having a look first. Think I have read some posters question his attitude, I guess in our position you have to take the odd calculated gamble on players. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he will turn around over half a decade of doing next to nothing at our basket case of a club? Please no, lets start a fresh and build a future, not take needless risks like this.
