Kieran Lee has completed a medical but the news will not be officially broken by Sheffield Wednesday until July 1st (the official opening of the Transfer Window).

Joel Ward of Portsmouth is a target of Dave Jones, although contact is yet to be made between the respective clubs. Wednesday face a battle of 5/6 other clubs including Blackpool for his signature.

Tom Heaton - nothing agreed yet.

Although there is a desire from Wednesday fans for an approach for Leeds' Adam Clayton, Milan Mandaric will not finance his wage demands as they stand.

Simeon Jackson and Zak Whitbread (both out of contract at Norwich) are potential targets for Dave Jones.

Contact has been made with Reading regarding the availability of Michail Antonio. Dave Jones is interested in retaining the services of the other three loan players; Danny Batth, Keith Treacy and Nile Ranger, although any permanent deal for Batth is unlikely.

Adam clayton class player wages would be problem antonio treacy simeon jackson heaton lee loovens paul taylor would be class

Adam Clayton is vastly overated. I have not seen much desire for us to sign him. Warnock knows this league and very good record of putting together succesful sides if he is willing to move him out I would not be keen on him joining us. Do not want Leeds cast offs.

Loovens is poor if you listen to the Celtic supporters.

Leicster have signed jamie vardy. im sure they just want players that have been linked with us first

I totally agree Leicester are c**ts they are even taking interest in Antonio as well every player we are interested in then when they buy to many players they rot on the bench or reserves it's ridiculous!

Scotland is a poor league to play in

Yeah first Marshall then vardy have they got something against us ?

Correct me if I'm wrong. But it's as though Leicester have some sort of hatred for MM. Hopefully they don't get their hands on antonio as he was a huge help

It does seem pretty strange dont it . hope we get antonio before them

Adam Clayton was one of the players that Warnock wanted to build his team around along with Snodgrass and McComack. Clayton would not sign a need contract hence he was transfer listed signing either or both them players would be good moves and would bring warnock's house down oin the process ......bonus.

Nothing to do with Antonio and Marshall being very good players?? Looks like this kid from oldhams ace. Good start, bring in the new troops. Looks like we got some money to spend too. Let the good times roll and hope united come up only to struggle next season. Easy easy easy!

Forget marshall lets just laugh at him when we finish above leicester next season, and as for antonio if we really want him which we do i'm sure our king mandaric will spend the money on him as he would be a huge player for the club.

Pearson over rated as a manager tends to piggyback on others ideas and believe he has something against owls. Made it c;ear would not want owls job and clubs he has been with have always sniffed round owls targets.

Sheffield wednesday to offer owen a contract despite him claiming he does not want to drop out of premier league

also sheff united mcdonald to be offered a deal

We dont ant of the squad , why would we

I wouldn't mind Kevin McDonald,he fits the bill perfectly,he's young and a decent player (Uniteds best in truth).

Do not think the above even qualifies as speculation. Far fetched and silly would be my description.

Don't need to stoop to sign anyone from the sty thanks.

Wish idiots would post realistic rumours not stupid ass rumours like owen ffs, even if he would drop to championship who would pay his stupid wages just for him to sit on the physio table all season ! We need to get a 20goal a season man with pace even if its costs us a million. {Ed013's Note - Tell me about it mate, you only see half of the rubbish that comes through here!}

McDonald he's a quality player, I wouldn't mind him at hillsborough! He's piggys best player, and from what I've heard from my mates who are blunts, hes quality they say!

Lets get this straight the guy above takes advice on quality football from people who support the Blunts? Get down to the docs, modern medicine can do wonders

Both play golf together by all accounts, and from DJ's history with cardiff with the signings of fowlerbellemy i would not be to surprised to see this happen.
