The two have been deemed, rightly or wrongly, to be good enough to be Championship level. Surely we are due another striker even if we don't lose any. Squad is so bare, we'll be signing at least another 6, especially now we've been given the green light to spend big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The bar is set pretty low, both GK's are poor and we have no proper centre forwards on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of Clubs Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It’s still early July and we’ve been under an embargo. It will happen I’m sure. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 We need one keeper, not keepers. Dawson or Wildsmith are fine for half a dozen games as injury cover, but absolutely disastrous as first choice. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooogs Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Call me spoilt but I wouldn't say no to a proper left-back either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 100% we need a 40 game proper striker. Paterson and Windass, if they stay, are reasonable attacking midfielders, but if they are our strikers we are doomed. I hope we don’t buy/loan half-arsed bits ‘n pieces forwards like last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT jack whitham Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 A new keeper is a must, both Wildsmith and Dawson are way below the standard we need for a rough tough league one campaign, would even prefer someone like Scott Carson to give some experience and confidence to the defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I have a horrible feeling Moore will stick with the keepers we have. Would be a massive mistake imo. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they are disastrous as first choices then surely there not good enough to play whether 1 , 6, or 10 games .........you have to have 2 who are capable of playing at the level we are at.. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 We need two centre forwards like Steve McClean. Deon Burton. Even Madine. Ideally, one would have pace to get in behind, with Adiyen to play some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesswhosback Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Our rubbish goalkeeper coach who as never done anything in is career says we don't need another goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be fine because we don't have Monk here the bloke that signed a winger that had score 4 goals in 3 seasons (75 appearances) and called him a striker (Kachunga) This season there are so many players available even now, instead of signing players we don't need the recruitment is very simple, or should be, 2 strikers that for the last 2 season have played games up front and scored goals, a left back with league experience preferably either league one of championship - which makes not keeping Penney seem such a strange decision. We do not have a single right footer right sided midfielder at the club, so at least one is needed. Then if finance allow an experience keeper. Then if we lose a player such as Borner, Windass, Bannan they are replaced like for like, if we go younger and promising I don't mind as they will likely be cheaper. We also need to look at every player that is 1 year or less in contract by the time we reach January the players we are keeping need resigning to longer deals the rest need selling in January as we cannot allows millions in players to leave on frees next summer at the very least we save on the wages. Sheffield Wednesday needs to start being run as a business that has numerous source of income not just one. (the fans) We also need to make sure this season we run the club properly as I suspect we could have issues the following season when the ground sale profit year drops off the 3 year rolling calculation if that is how they do it in league 1? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbagMcgraw Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Would be good to try and beat Ipswich to the loan signing of Sam Cosgrove, as he'd score a decent amount in League 1...even if Windass goes and we get cash and Cosgrove on loan. Think Charlton have picked up the best goalkeeping freebie from Portsmouth, and if a other keeper comes in will probably be a loan....Josh Griffiths still hasn't gone anywhere on loan, so perhaps we might finally be able to get that done.

You sir have hot the nail on the head. My question would be though, how much of the above will actually happen ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Since our recent recruitment policy ( last 3 seasons or so) has been a slow motion car crash, I'm not hopeful that DM can turn it into a sensible policy over night. That assumes he really has been given control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzys Dad Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 We’re stuck with these two. Dawson was given a more ludicrous contract than Jordan Rhodes. Only new goalkeeper we’ll get is a veteran, that nobody else wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
