Sheffield Wednesday have signed Northern Ireland youngster Paul McElroy on a one-year deal. Dev Squad.

Hence why I told you all when we got our new owner, don't assume it means good signings or signings that come with a fee.

Roger Johnson first major signing of pre-season. will be announced this week. great signing wouldn't surprise me if he was given the captains arm band.

Hope wo do sign roger johnson good pro very impresed when he was on loan and to say when he came he was not fit got better every game he played for us

Some would argue about him being a good pro, based on his past antics, but after 3 successive relegations and him now being the wrong side of 30 I guess he's bucked his ideas up. Would love to see him back at Hilllsborough.

We won't sign Andy Johnson he's 33 and grey said he wanted to bring age off squad down.
Plus he's past it it's hardly like he scored 15/20 goals an was 33 then he would be worth a shot but for me he would do nothing other than pick his pay cheque up an sit with injurys!
Him 5/7 year ago I would have jumped at chance

I don't think there is any truth in it. We have better strikers in Lavery, Maguire and Madine.

Nuhiu aswell think he will have a better season this year was showing abit off promise towards end off season

Do we think that Chris Maguire could be the 20 a season man we need? his record last season would suggest as much especially considering he played out wide for the majority of it.

Total appearances 23 (* + 3 as sub); Goals 9; Yellow cards 1; Red cards 0

thoughts?

Bring back ogrady! uto xxx

Quote from Gray:

“I am looking to mould my own team and bring the average age down, ” he said. “We will need a little bit of youth and experience. You have got to have fit players who can play Saturday, Tuesday and Saturday. ”
. .
33 yrs old. 2 goals in 20. hasn't played since Feb due to injury! Where does this guy fit into our plans? (. and even had the gall to turn us down previously, so where's the commitment?!)

I think Maguire could be a a twenty goal a season player if he has the right partnership. Then again I thought when he played out wide he worked tirelessly and we need that sort of energy in the middle too. I am worried about Nuhui as he has the stature to make a difference but I don't think he has enough football sense to create enough and if he doesn't put the ball in the net as often as we need then what use would he be.

Actually accordin to the star it was redknap not Johnson who turned us down. But you're right we don't need or went him

Maguire does not have speed or physical presence to be high quality lead man up front in favoured 4-2-3-1 formation. He was excellent in attacking midfield role and if you have 15+ goal midfield man you have one sought after player. Personally happy for him to continue in that role, if form continues will get call to Scotland squad.

^^^^ people said that about McCormack once upon a time, I would say that they are about the same make up in terms of speed and physicality.

Sad day hearing about the death of johnny fanthom great memories great bloke big thanks r. i. p
