Bennett is off to Rotherham on loan. DJ and MM still working on clearing some of the dead wood out.

Julian Bennett is too good for league 2, why would he go there?

Why the f**k would I know why he is going there. I just got told he was. We certainly dont need him.

He certainly wasn't good enough regularly for us in League 1, why not league 2? Rotherham are a team with new investment and it might do him good to get some games.
I know if I were a current league 1 manager with a team that played against us last year, Julian Bennett would not be on my wishlist, and he can forget being good enough for the Championship!

Bennett was injured alot of the season, therefore couldn't put a run of games together, his long throw came in handy when he played, you need games to be consistent something he didn't get,
Someone told you he was going to Rotherham so just a b******t story with no facts about it then!

Bennett is defo L2 standard!

I totally agree that Julian Bennett didn't play well for us but some players don't suit certain teams look at Michael Morrison he was absolute garbage for us and a class act for Charlton he got voted as best Centre Half in League 1.

Dave Jones has admitted we are speaking to preston about Danny Mayor (source: Rob Staton)

This is looking close now, does anybody know if he is good? Bothroyd rumours seem more implausible, no doubt he would be a good player but it feels like we are lacking pace up front if anything!

Looks like the 2 strikers are the Barca B player and this kid from Everton - fingers crossed these other clubs have missed something in these kids

My reading of Jones interview was that Mayor was done deal. Boothroyd was unlikely. Rodri they were certainly in for and Corry was a possible (too dismissive). I am probably wrong but good guessing game. Wish he had asked about Baxter.

Danny Mayor's wiki page = senior playing career 2008-2012 Preston, 2012- Sheff Wed, (someone been jumping the gun or do wiki know something we don't?)

Jose Baxter having a medical, ex Everton striker

Radio sheffield say deals done

Doesnt exactly look prolific :o(

Would be interesting but I've heard nothing about it

Prolific ?? - he's 20yo ?
All the prolific 20yo (if there are any?) are at ManU, Barca, Real or similar and not available on frees!!
He's got great potential and thats what DJ is buying in to .

Radio sheffield say deals done lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

Lee Hattersley training with SWFC after recommendation from Mo Farrah

Was great against us when he was loaned to tranmere

My mates an everton fan and he was impressed with Baxter..one for the future.

According to a Barcelona source on Twitter, Barcelona (B) Striker Rodri a 22 Year old forward will sign for Sheffield Wednesday with thought to a permanent deal. The 22 year old has no chance of breaking into Barcelonas main squad and is reaching an age that will be considered to old for Barcacelonas B team.

Surely we will sign somebody today! Hopefully jay bothroyd, proven at this level.

Jay bothroyd a no go, for 1 million as well! we will probably offer 350k

Bothroyd on season loan!

I am being very patient but I wish I weren't

Says in sheff star we could be getting him on loan.. let's hope so, can't understand why we giving koumas a place to train though. If he still had it someone would've snapped him up last summer or after Christmas. I'd approach Bullard for some experience... Bullard, boothroyd batth and treacy would do for me

Wednesday set to sign a player called roderi from barca

Dnt need to sign some one every day its not like footy man, it takes longer than 5 minutes

I heard michael owen was at Sheffield Wedneaday today! Any truth in this?
