HopefulOwl Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Up there with Jordan Rhodes... always wanted us to sign him... pity that wish came true 5 years too late.... the Wednesday way!!!! Will be the same when we re-sign Jamie Vardy when he's wanting one last pay day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think 30 years ago was only top professionals had a decent car. Now even League One / Division 3 players have a top of the range sports car. I know people will say I am bit jealous and I don't deny it but you can see why when team is struggling supporters feel less like we are all in this together these days. Well, yeah, the moment the Premier League was formed and money started getting pumped into the game - it became a business rather than a football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 A player that epitomises our problems at the time. he was a player I always hated us playing against. Always played well, high energy and drove the opposites forward. we signed what was a high energy player whose legs had gone. We were his final payday and looked liked he ran in treacle. not quite as bad a signing as Abdi… but not a million miles off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like he came to Hillsborough and then bought these cars due to the contract we gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Boyd more or less our only signing that summer? Think the writing was on the wall in terms of the financial position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were heading towards a transfer embargo and were not spending anything on transfer fees - unless you believe the reports that we paid Herenveen millions for an unknown defender.

shezzas left peg Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Why do people do this to me???. I'd managed to complete forget about what was quite possibly the worst midfield I've seen in 40 years of watching Wednesday. Boyd, buttercup, Jones, reach. My god we've had some lean times, but those 4 on the pitch together was just terrifying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
