why don't we try and buy james Vaughan from Norwich (him who was on loan to Huddersfield)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Because lita is better

Agree0 Disagree0

Lita all the way uto xxx

Agree0 Disagree0

Lita scores goals but doesn't work hard enough apart from the last game of the season he never chased a ball

Agree0 Disagree0

If you knew ANYTHING about football you would realise that energy conservation is paramount.

Agree0 Disagree0

Try telling that to teves.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok.
Nah then Carlos, stop running round like headless chicken.
Comprende?

Anyone take John Stead - just released by Bristol?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Isn't he a blade, besides i'd rather have ebainks Blake or baldock

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes better than Howard

Agree0 Disagree0

Ebanks or howard better then ready steady cook off back to the farm lol uto Xxx

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Howard is everything a Sheffield Wednesday centre forward should be. A strong confident character good for the younger players and dressing room and given the right service and a regular playing partner in a 442 he will create and score goals

Agree0 Disagree0

No one is better than Howard, he just needs time then he will be back to scoring form!

Agree0 Disagree0

Anyone know when the retained list is being announced - thought jones had said he was confirming it to all on tuesday?

My personal preference if we bring any striker in would be Dwight Gayle from Peterborough -I think he's the right age and a real prospect. I also think it'll be a quiet transfer window (after freebies) listening to what Corry was saying on player.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Best and most realistic suggestion on here so far this summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

Worth a shout has pace a good scoring record in this league and a good alternative to Lita if he gets lazy

Why do people keep mentioning harry maguire? All he is good for is big hoofs when he has time on the ball and handling players when a decent player would be able to tackle. Utter dogger

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree, he lacks pace and gets beeten easily when player are running at him or try to turn him. Great player in L1 but not good enough for champ level, just like rob jones

Agree0 Disagree0

what I don't understand is how dave jones works? for example why go for a big strong physical striker but let o'grady go who is exactly that type of player? let's face it he didn't do much wrong for us and then he was on fire for tykes and could have even sent us down with all the goals he scored for them. then he loans a 38yr old who can't even get in league one side Hartlepool? I don't get it? then he takes the captaincy off semedo who was ever present since he came to s6 and was fans and players player of the year twice! and he drops him and gives captaincy to taylor? bothroyd? don't even want to get started on him why did he stick with him for so long? rodri what happened there? he scored a pearler on his debut then came on as a sub for last five mins all time? then goes back to barca b and gets loaned to Zaragoza scores against Madrid and plays Barcelona? i'd like to know where the other players are too: weaver, pecnik, taylor, mattock, Bennett etc etc what's gunna happen to these? surely these are deadwood to dj? prutton llera are 33/34 although I love them and they give 110% itll be interesting to see what happens there? Maguire only played near last 4 games? madine couldn't get of bench. I am not slating dj but I don not get his logic anyone else agree? please let's start a debate

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Theres no debate, I agree 1000000 per cent, I don't understand this either, please anyone who can shed light i'd be intrigued to know what and why and how? uto xxx

Agree0 Disagree0

Top and bottom of this is we need a manager like ray wilkins

Agree0 Disagree0

Jones bought in haste and repented at leisure - a hint of incomplete research. Personal preferences and face-fitting mattered, too. He did in fairness do reasonably well at the end but he did so with other clubs' players having jettisoned his own and wasted a substantial slice of the budget. Taylor was clearly a panic buy at a dark time.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't understand why he let Ryan Lowe go saying he was too old then end of season brings in a player who`s older saying he got plenty of experience. in DJ we trust?

Agree0 Disagree0

I understand some gripes but think you have to check some statements whih are coloured by personal view.
For example O'Grady's control and ability to hold ball up was not a patch on Howard. Howard did extremely well for us. O'Grady is a hard grafter who lacks control and passing ability, he is a League 1 striker, for a player on fire he spent most of time on bench at Barnsley.
We had no scouting system prior to last summer, hence why we have had succession of poor signings for several years. Think this really explains lack of success of overseas signings. Think improved recruitment was down to new scouting system. If you get 50% correct you are doing well. Wemade other ricks remember Mike Jones £100,000 for 2 games.
Lowe hardly pulled any trees up in League 1.
Boothroyd was sold to us on a bargain basement deal but he had to play when fit. DJ was hardly glowing about him when he left.
Agreed Taylor was a desperation buy and think he will be for exit door.
DJ overall success rate at recruitment actually better than 4 predecessors if you look at stats (surprising but true). He did recruit Kirkland, Gardner, Antonio, and McCabe.
Other factor is lck of funds, either way we have more players capable of playing at Championship level than we were promoted with.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bothroyd was on loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bothroyd was unfit by his own admission and played poorly and that's being kind to him, So why should he have played instead of madine. bring Bothroyd on yea but for the last 10/15 mins at most and if the deal was if not injured he was to play then its up to the manager to manage an send him back and before the team moral suffered but that didn't happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Did you read Bothroyd's contract?

Agree0 Disagree0

Top and Bottom is Dave Jones is a clueless clown

He doesn't know his ar** from his elbow and cannot recognise decent players who will graft for him

The sooner he goes and we get a proper manager in we will move forward we will struggle again next season with Jones in charge

Agree0 Disagree0
