Will Vaulks is one of them, which I personally think is a good signing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally hope it’s Ihiekwe from Rotherham. I’m not too fussed about Dean joining to be honest, his injuries last season were a bit concerning for me.

SallyCinnamon Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Have a funny feeling we might get George Hirst back on loan. Lines up with what thebizzle has said. In football terms I think it would be a good move for both the lad and the club. Another full season under his belt for a club looking to go up and a young, mobile striker to help us out upfront. But maybe there’s too much bad blood still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hirstysfags Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Millers supporting boss holds Vaulks in high regard. Says it would be a much better signing than Wing, purely based on consistency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Fleetwood Town are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Brendan Wiredu on a three-year deal for an undisclosed six-figure fee. The highly-rated 22-year-old joins the Cods from Sky Bet League Two side Colchester United, with Town having to fight off multiple League One and Championship sides for his signature.

Using you analogy you would rather play championship top end than be mixing it in the premier league each week. I bet none of the Burnley, Watford, Norwich will be happy to be a big fish in the championship when they could be fighting for survival in the Premier league Premier league is a completely different beast to the Championship. There's also so many factors which goes into being a footballer and where you play (Geographically, family dynamic etc). Looks as though Vaulks is one of those players. I completely get it too.

But maybe there’s too much bad blood still. Can’t see it myself. Contract issues that led to him being frozen out the club. Leads him to go to Leicester via a sister club to avoid paying proper compensation. This leads to Wednesday looking into legal action. Very very sour ending.

theowlsman Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Not checked out this thread once until now. Enjoying a summer of no football, just fishing and cricket. Life is so much more relaxing away from constantly being let down by Wednesday. We should've gone up automatically last season, we were good enough to do so, just threw away so many daft points. We have a gift in turning wins into defeats and draws, and draws into defeats. May the summer last forever.

Most players would rather be in team which is more likely to be successful, albeit in a lower division, rather than a team likely to be struggling because it makes them look better players and adds value to their name, and players want to win silverware. Yep, all the more reason to build something now that gives us some momentum and squad value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Quinn Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 3 hours ago, swfcGibbo said: I think there's so many factors in the decision to sign for a particular football club. From my perspective, I would much prefer to sign for a Big League One club with ambitions of promotion (and thus winning more) vs a team getting battered in the Championship week after week. We should be looking to attract the calibre of player whom the bottom 8 of the Championship are trying to sign (The likes of Vaulks and Smith). The lure of perhaps a similar contract (with good promotion bonuses), playing in a winning team at a bigger club can be a factor. Of course money will always be one of the biggest factors but I think footballers also weigh up the other parts also. It's why we were able to compete for the likes of Johnson and Gregory (location was a big incentive for him) last season and we'll do the same this season. I don't think they will get battered every week personally, I thought they were unlucky to get relegated last time, if it wasn't for covid and having to play 9 games in a month I think they would have stayed up, Paul Warne is an excellent manager and if he had Chansiris money to spend I think they would be pushing for top 6, if DM leaves it's Paul Warne for me.
