#swfc close to signing Michail Antonio for fee of around 750k. Also trying to sign Jay Bothroyd and DJ Campbell on season loans -- John Percy (@John__Percy)

Antonio maybe but bothroyd ?? I would like to see it but doubt it very much

Be happy with Antonio and Bothroyd not so fussed about DJ....John Percy is usually spot on.

I think DJ Campbell would be a very good signing, proven goal scorer.

How can anyone disagree its Fact!

John Percy never gets it right, certainly not this transfer market anyway. The journos are getting rumours confused with reality. They are specualting as both players probably sit below Bobby Zamora and Andy Johnson in the pecking order at QPR and could be available for a loan. DJ doesn't let journos know who he is looking at,FACT!!!!!

Why do people say doubt it about players coming to wednesday weve got every chance of signin bothroyd we are MASSIVE

John Percy hardly gets any wrong much more reliable than rob staton!

Not what ive heard

If its true I would take DJ over Boothroyd all day long he is mobile with a decent scoring record and at Champioship level will be a real asset.Boothroyd I have stated before is lazy and vastly overated and over paid we cannot afford to carry players like him,thats my opinion others might think different

John Percy's main contact was Gary Megson so not as reliable as he used to be.

Personally dont belive a word dj says, in his interview last week said we used to be a good team but players were from all over with no local talent hinting he was looking for locals or at least english in te next week signs 2 foreigners, he definately tries to cover everything with a smoke screen, not that its a bad thing keeps competition in dark as well

Negative comments on this thread are courtesy of trigger.

You don't need to believe him, you just need to believe in him.

We have had a bid for Mohsni rejected and are due to make a second bid in the next 24 hours

Mohsni, who has spent two seasons with the Shrimpers, making 71 appearances, has missed the start of the club’s pre-season training. Mohsni has been allowed to come back into the first-team squad “a bit later” because of a family wedding in France.

Dave Jones rubbished this rumour on BBC Radio Sheffield the other day, look on Twitter. Paul Walker has said it, Rob Staton has and the only pr@t who has said said it is true is Dom Howson and he works for The Sheffield Star football page! and we all know who much s**te they spout to catch our interest just so we buy the paper!

Dom Howson was the first with the Amado signing tho !

Credit to Wednesday fans if you go on other clubs sites on here they are constantly slating the previous manager and his signings.Not one negative comment on Gary Megson on here not that he deserved it but events since he left could have made people have short memories.I wish Gary well in the future and again credit to the fans.

Well said !!
Can't deny Dave Jones influence in very short time , but practically ALL the players that won promotion were brought to the club by Gary Megson - who spent very little in the process because , understandably, MM's mind was elsewhere at the time.
We were in play-off positions when he left us so WE ALL should be grateful for him getting us back on the road to success - WELL DONE GARY MEGSON - a place in OWLS history along with his dad!

Meggoo should be made an honoury member of the club for what he did. Cleared out the rubbish and attitudes and brought in passion, something several predecessors failed to do!

I agree, but he also took as far as he could.

Megson did a great job for us in a short space of time but his way of football is in the 80's not modern enough for today's times

Ed, Chris Humphrey (Motherwell) have you heard anything more concrete and does this mean we've given up on Antonio and Treacy {Ed032's Note - Still in pursuit of Antonio and Treacy. Chris Humphrey low on Dave Jones' priorities. More likely to see Steven Jennings of Motherwell at Hillsborough next year}

Is Steve Jennings another one with a dodgy disciplinary record ? Or is that just gossip ?

Humphrey decidely ordinary, thought Dundee winger Michael-Seteven was higher on list. The rumour re Jennings circulated in Scotland over a month ago see BBC scots gossip. But he was well down pecking list. Thought Bayern winger Jennings was more fancied.

Personally I hope we bring this guy in. Nothing like extreme pace to scare the ***t out of defenders. Could easily see him providing the ammo for the front men.

The only way Antonio will be here is if he accepts less money that other clubs are offering

Hi guys just wanted to let you know that the lads went back training yesterday according to Gary madines twitter page. And Gary madine said on his twitter page how happy and privileged he is to have the number 9 shirt this seoson. Also can confirm semedo will stay number 6 Maguire is number 10 jj is number 11 o'Grady is number 12 rob jones is number 5 beavers is number 13 and Ryan Lowe is number 14 that's all a know guys and please trust me this is true. UTO

Can you confirm the goalkeeper is number 1?

Number 2 is Roland Nilson and number 3 is Roland Nilson. UTO
