Wednesday have been linked with Lucas Joao, of Nacional, and have apparently had a £2.4million bid rejected. Joao was a strike partner of Matias at Nacional.

Wow he's record his stunning. 6 goals last season and 12 the year before playing lower league and 2.4 million to boot or 3mill on Murray from palace who consistently over the last 5 or 6 years has scored 20+ goals in the championship. I think we are looking in the wrong market for players unproven and not the right buy at this time

Totally agree
Murray. Dobie both worth a punt
28 Jul 2015 17:51:12
Bournemouth are reportedly offering £3.5 million for Murray, and Norwich are also interested so it is very doubtful that we could get him. Of course if Norwich got him that mean Hooper moves on.

i just hope we sign Gary Hooper it's a win win if we get him on loan with option to buy because if he does flop which I don't think he will we don't buy him.

Rhoys Wiggins about to sign from Charlton?
Could be a great signing if he can stay fit. Was a revelation at left back a few seasons ago, but has suffered several breakages. This is a gamble, but if it pays off, it would be a steal at £750K.
Worth a punt! ( based on inside info from a Charlton mate )

I hope you're right Sleaford, but I have my concerns. A player who is injury-prone, can't get in the Charlton team and costing £750,000. Is this value for money, particularly when compared to the signings of Lees and Westwood last year? We might as well have kept Buxton and Mattock for that money.

Sometimes it's not that a player is not good enough, it's just that his face doesn't fit!
Two classic examples of where Wednesday have benefitted in this way is McGugan and Sheridan - with no doubt many more throughout the game.
I agree that there is a big question mark over his ability to stay fit. His problem has also been the emergence of a younger exciting player ( forgot his name - is it Fox? ). Either way , Rhoys has been unable to get his place back - sounds like the Buxton / Palmer situation . Difference is that he is still only 27 , whereas Buxton is into his early 30's . That's why it could still be a good gamble. Time will tell if he gets onboard.

McGugan has a long, long way to go before being mentioned in the same sentence as Shez.
28 Jul 2015 19:48:52
In the context it was written in where's the problem, when Shez came to Wednesday he was a decent midfielder just like Gugs. I can't see anyone comparing them as Wednesday legends?

Och, it was just a light hearted comment.
29 Jul 2015 13:05:00
Sometimes it's hard to tell the light hearted from the other shhhtuff on here :-)
Lets hope McGugan turns out to have the same impact and the team matches the Shez side.

We have signed some good players and have some already who knows we could have a similar team as when we had woods, waddle,walker , mighty hirsty ,shez, not to mention others. or we could end up with more stefanovic and kovecivic!
