Wednesday looking at Jon Parkin as an option upfront for as little as £200k. His loan deal at Hudders is soon ending therefore will be available.
Owl management feel he will fit in well with our quick, short passing style.

Could be an excellent signing

Hope not

I've heard this rumour too,from the same person who's told me Carlos Tevez is signing for Sheff Utd and playing for free to make up for getting them relegated.

The only rumours that might have something in them are Grabban, Paynter and Tonge. Grabban is the only decent player but I doubt he’ll come. Scott at Rotherham is a Blunt who played a key role in persuading ALF not to come. He was making noises yesterday about Grabban staying and joining a top league 1 team or championship team – an obvious dig at us. Leeds have hawked Paynter around just about every club in the league, I’m no great fan of Clinton but he’s better that Paynter. As for Tonge I dislike ever signing an ex pigs player. The history of players that have played for both Wednesday and Blunts shows the majority come to us first and generally go to swine lane when they’re washed up. We desperately need to strengthen especially as it looks likely Marshall will not come back but we need quality I understand MM being careful with the spending but if we miss promotion this whole season has been for nothing. Contrary to what a some posters here think he did not say he would spend £5 million on players. He said that he expected to spend another £5 million running the club between now and May. As it apparently still runs at a loss that may not leave a lot to strengthen the squad.

Clubs not running at a loss seen as we made a 15 million pound profit accounts so u obv no what u talking about

What is beyond debate is that the Championship is worth £5m to the club.
Can we afford to miss out on that now we're in touching distance ?

I would say that the most important issue is whether we can bounce back today and get a result.

Could point mate we drag our heels in the transfer window every year and we sometimes lose out on quality players mm surely how important it is to spend sme money so well see wt happens nah

The club is running at a loss albeit not a great one. The so called 'profit' was an accounting device caused by writing off debt. Get your facts straight - it's not me that doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Well if we are running at a loss then it is even more important that MM opens the wallet if he wants to see any return on his investment.

So true we spend less than some league 2 teams it's pathetic a couple of million would do us to get some quality players come on mm we need some players for the long term!
