Injury would’ve scuppered any move. Seems to suggest Moore is expecting him to stay You can just imagine the conversation DM: We’ve had a bid and it’s a good offer. BB: Me and Elsie just moved up here gaffer DM: I know Baz, but you earn more than David Jones and it’s just not sustainable BB: Let me talk to the chairman DM: But I’m warning you he isn’t changing his mind. He’s all about sustainability these days DC: Barry my boy come in come in. Have you grown? I can barely look you in the eye. BB: No Mr Chairman, I just bought these new insoles for my sneakers, they’ve got a little heel. I’ll get you some. DC: Well as long as they’re made from sustainably sourced plastic. Everything needs to be sustainable you see BB: Aye, right, aye BB: Anyway, gaffer told me I have to leave. Says I’m too expensive DC: Wait Barry, I can’t have a contractual situation without my key advisor. Here he is. Take a seat please, Barry was just telling me he does want to leave BB: Aye, right, aye. Me and Elsie just found a nice nursery. They let me go in on Wednesday afternoons and help with the set pieces and things. AC: So you don’t want to leave? BB: Aye, right, aye DC: We have to be sustainable you see. And your current contract just isn’t sustainable you see BB: Aye, right, aye AC: We could have him sign a new one, same salary each week but for one extra year, that way we it’s more sustainable as it lasts longer DC: My boy, haven’t you grown. Wonderful suggestion. And let’s sign it by DocuSign, we don’t want to be wasting paper BB: Aye, right, aye AC: And what do you drive, a Land Rover? Let’s get you a Tesla. DM: Morning Baz, how did it go with the Chairman. BB: Great, we had a chat and we’ve made things a bit more sustainable DM: That’s great.

DeBilde'sTea Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Luongo is ace when fit but can't be relied upon to be fit atm. Good to have strength in depth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Wonder what this says about the club’s view of Alex Hunt? A lot of posters have suggested that it’s time that Hunt was given the chance to step up as Bannan’s understudy. Assuming Bannan stays, does the potential addition of Byers mean the club doesn’t trust Alex, even at League 1 level. If so, wouldn’t it make sense to sell Alex now to help fund Byers rather than loan him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is out or when the games come thick and fast, we don't really have much quality to replace him with. Really can't rely on Luongo either The way Bannan went in for that goal saving tackle off the wrong foot could have given him a nasty injury. That commitment to a tackle like that in a nothing game would suggest to me that he has very much made up his mind ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 3 hours ago, malek said: Didn't impressed me for Swansea, usually playing next to their playmaker Grimes, taking little initiative and keeping things simple. Portsmouth fans called him lazy and claimed he made no impact at all. Then again I remember him from his youth games where he was known for spectacular assists and long range goals. Hope that we can bring the best out of him. But for one moment I wont believe he is coming in as a free agent and that we wont pay fee for him. Interesting contrast there. Sounds like he lost his way and maybe their tippy tappy one million passes to one shot style at Swansea didn't suit him. Think he's at a good age and decent championship experience already so could prove a good signing and needed competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Mr Meadows said: Baz is going nowhere, DM has said as much and confirmed him as captain sometimes wonder if a lot on owlstalk actually go to games and want wednesday to do well Thing is we play a combination of 4231 and 343 during pre-season then first competitive game we go 433 and that is pure and simple to accommodate Bannan as he can’t really play as part of the defensive 2, the attacking 3 or be in a central 2. He can only play in a midfield 3. As good as he is, I just feel he’s not good enough to solely play a formation to suit him as it could impact on the influence of others in the team?

The team is weaker without Bannan whatever formation you choose to use. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays with Wednesday during a league one campaign then i can definitely see him retiring here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 For those wondering about whether a fee would need to be paid - think Joe Crann suggested on Twitter that there's a possibility to be creative with deals and maybe have it as a free with a hefty sell-on fee or something similar.
