Bluesteel. Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 With regard to Storey and errors. I think that is why he may not be cost effective but I don’t think it should put us off younger players as we can accommodate some errors at this level and develop players. Had we had storey in all season and avoided a defensive injury crisis we’d have probably gone up even with a few errors thrown in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't as poor as your post suggests, in my opinion, but he certainly wasn't Nemanja Vidic. Staggers me what Wednesday fans expect. ‘We need to lower the age of the squad’ ’Storey was rubbish (even though every stat will suggest otherwise) so let’s go for an over the hill defender instead’. Make your chuffin minds up. We were excellent second half of the season and if we had Storey in from the start we’d have got promoted out of this god forsaken division. If there’s any possibility of getting him back, we should jump on it. And I’m sure the manager agrees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t argue with that I’m afraid, you can say ‘any defender would have changed our fortunes’, but we’ll never know. The fact is Storey did. 24 years old. Excellent age and the type of player we should be investing in. Plenty of room to improve and give us resale value. Ihiekwe or Dean might be good players, but they’re getting on and won’t get much better and we won’t make any money on them. A young, solid centre half who has proven himself here and is comfortable with the ball at his feet - is exactly the type of player we should be going for! He isn't a player I'd be paying a fee for, so just because Storey was in the side we won 14 games? his balls up at Fleetwood, if it hadn't been for Gregory turning the game around for us we probably wouldn't have made the play offs. As for being good with the ball at his feet, I don't know what you saw but his distribution was poor for me. Didn't look comfortable when pressed whatsoever 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also towards the top for aerial battles won. So to suggest he was crap with the ball at his feet and got bullied is wide off the mark! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players with resale value are needed as well as experienced ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Surprised how anyone didn’t rate Storey. Huge difference when he came into the team compared to before. One of the catalysts for the unbelievable 2nd half of the season. Perfect for RCB. Great reader of the game, loads of potential. Would take him in a heartbeat back on loan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I don’t think Storey is a realistic signing but that said regardless of the usual intellectual insight on here, he played a part in helping us get up the table so ultimately he was a decent signing but the usual suspects on here expect perfection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if DM goes back in for Storey then this summer , that will give us a good idea if he rates him cos I'm certain we could have him back on loan if we want him. He signed a long term extension at Preston before he came here but will be nowhere near their squad next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re disappointed with Jordan Storey a player who did so well for us it’s unlikely his Championship club will even let him out again then you’re expectations will have to be lowered. L1 looked a breeze for the lad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyonedavidhirst Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I'm on the fence about him (Storey). Played some decent games for us, but i do think we can find similar or better. I also think Iorfa, if fit and back to his confident self, is better than anyone we can get including Storey. That's a big if, but he was being watched heavily by prem clubs not so long ago.

Iorfa is worse than Storey in every single category other than pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
