Olifajana and Hobbs a double swoop from hull

Hobbs would be a good signing.

Hobbs has done his anterior cruciate ligament. Out for 8 month so doubt we'll be getting him.

I can't help but think everyone is getting carried away with talk of another promotion next year. We have to consolidate for a season or two first. Take Southampton. We don't have a Ricky Lambert or an Adam Lallanna ( spelling ? ) . Antonio looks class in League 1 but why couldn't he get a game for Reading last year ? Look around the team and especially those who are our players and with the exception of Buxton, Llera, Semedo and Madine, ( and maybe Bywater and Reda ) I don't see anyone with the ability or potential to play in a top championship side. I know MM will invest and DJ is a top manager - but a reality check is required - take it from one who has seen the bad times over the past 15 years ! Saturday was unbelievable and we have some brilliant foundations with MM and DJ in charge - but one step at a time please

Agree Only around 4 -players are good enough for the championship, it would appear that the chairman wants promotion within a short space of time, hopefully he will fund Dave Jones for some players capable of the next levels up

Firstly if you can not dream when you have just won promotion when can you. Another promotion would be nice but agree it may take one, two or three as Mandarich stated. What we are saying is we need players who can deliver at Championship level. It is no use buying players who are a make do and have to be replaced next year.

Think you have correctly pointed out the scale of rebuilding required is huge and from DJ comments when he talked about a "revolution in the summer" when he first came I expect substantial change. From your list would only see Buxton and Bywater as squad players, others mentioned I could see them as a success at this level. Believe Lines and Beevers could be a squad players but unsure about rest.

A good team spirit and bond does count for a lot and Southampton and Norwich teams have many players who were thought not suitable for Premiership and Championship but proved folks wrong. Hope some of ours can do the same. Last time we went up little change was maid and we struggled so hoping for some good acquisitions.

What happened last Saturday ?

As its a team game sometimes players just dont gel. Antonio has done with us and I am confident that he we be very effective in the Championship.
I don't think that fans enjoying promotion and looking forwards to the next level need a reality check, if we were all doom and gloom we wouldn't be in this situation.

I agree with no getting carried away but nothing wrong with optimism, a rare commodity at Hillsborough. I to be honest I hope the blades get promotion for two reasons. 1, derby games an 2, Sheffield has taken a pummelling over the last few years and two teams doing well is good for the city so lets enjoy ourselves and learn to dream, aspire, think big and stand stall my fellow Owls!

Agree with above point about United and wonderful uplift for City. My dream was to win Premiership or FA Cup and have Utd as runners up. Half of Manchester is going to be absolutely gutted at the weekend.

At the moment were 25-1 to win the league and 6-1 for promotion, if everyone else is confident then so should we! in milan we trust

Have some of you not been to school before?
PS Buxton is more than capable of playing Championship standard!

I hope SUFC get battered ...I'm not interested in this " it's good for the city stuff ".

On Twitter it is reported Leeds winger Adam Clayton has signed for Leicester. He plays same position as Marshall. Hence Marshall rumour may be true. {Ed013's Note - Clayton plays center Midfield}

Yes Buxton can play at Champioship level but realisticly not in a promotion team. He struggled against some Championship wingers two years ago and will again.

Having SUFC in Championship is good financially for the Owls. Only thing better is if they went to the wall so Wednesday would have a much better fan catchment base. Sometimes you have to look beyond rivalry. Besides we will get at least 4 points off them if they are promoted.

Buxton has progresswd and 2 years ago wasnt as good on the ball as well as defending, hes more than capable for champ and any mupit who says otherwise needs to get themsen to the games

Saeason ticket holder and 12 away games this season. He does not have pace of top quality full back. Will be a good squad player who will cover at back but do not be surprised to see him start on bench for first game if Jones gets in his players.

Totally agree with the first comment we do not have a 30 goal a season striker which you need to even get close to going up auto southampton only did it on the last game dont forget , same as norwich with grant holt , we need to become a strong championship side then go from there
