Heard a rumour that we are trying to sign Lee Barnard for £500k from Southampton and Stuart Beavon from Wycombe Wanderers.

Beavon is not a Championship player.

Actually its Andy Bevin, a New Zealand U21 who scored and real cracker of a goal in the last U17 world cup. He's currently playing for some outfit in the USA, can't remember which.

Barnard worth 250k at best

Young player with a future would be a good squad player and one for development team.

Beavon was non-existent against us on promotion day!

Wednesday interested in Batth Antonio Adam Clayton and Rhodes

Adam clayton would be the creative midfielder we need althuogh lines is stil quality

Can not see him being suitable if Warnock off loading him. Warnock does know what it takes to get out of the Championship.

Is lines championship quality though, he is good, but that's the question?

Lines has been brilliant this season and has the engine to continue in the championship. UTO.

We need another one or two central midfield players. Prutton was released at this level last summer. Lines and Samedo only two we have thus need a third and more than likely a fourth so we have adequate cover. Lines is a good player with good distribution and powerful running. He polarises opinion of fans think this is due to appearing not to commit wholehertedly to tackles. Could go either way in Championship probably ok but not a star.

Lines isn't "quality", he has looked a decent player at best in a poor league. If our ambitions are to be in the top half of the championship (or higher) and not just survive next season then we need to replace him - harsh but true - we only have Semedo as a central midfielder who would get anywhere near a top championship side. DJ will sort it out though - the best manager we have had in years and he knows that league inside out.

Are you lot being serious? lol ha

Ive had doubts bout some of our players, but DJ has brought out their quality and believe he can continue to do so! hes changed our way of playing and its worked! alot of our players are still young and can make a great name for them selves, i believe a few aditions will be enough (in the right areas) a couple more in each position shud do it!

Lines is a league 1 player at best

Lines has the most assists of anyone this season with 12 (Marshall and Antonio have better assist-to-appearance ratios though.) Can people please stop mentioning Rhodes? We're interested in him in the same way Yeovil are interested - he's a brilliant player, but Mandaric isn't going to spend the >£5m (plus wages) to sign him, and he wouldn't want to come to a club in barely any better position than Hudds!

Wednesday had scouts at latest Crewe and Motherwell matches, no idea who they were watching but report is accurate.

Max Clayton, from crewe

If its true I imagine it will be the striker Powell but all the top clubs monitoring him and Reynolds

Sheffield Wednesday interested in two midfielders, Marlon Pack from Cheltenham and Alan Judge from Notts County.

I swear Alan judge is on loan from blackburn!
