Leira to huddersfield

Hate to break it to you guys but its true! Llera dosnt have a future at the owls. He is 34 and his agent has said we won't offer new contract. And we want to try sell him now ( January ) so we get money for him and will look for a younger centre back possibly Danny bath. Not getting in at wolves and I'm sure would love to come back to wednesday. Also expect Taylor to stay as he has championship experience and we don't have many centre backs. Looks like soon rodri will be sent back as he isn't in the first team and isn't settling in sheffield. Also down to some shocking performances mamady sidbe to go back. And other players might be going out like Daniel jones Maybe David Prutton. Now biggest thing we wed is strikers so maybe the likes of blackstock or Jamie vardy!

Facts are Llera was 33yo in August.
Just signed Taylor 33yo and Gardner 32yo ? so age or performance no excuse for pushing Llera out, because Llera has kept them both out of side at times.
If it was just age why would you get rid of our only young & promising CH Beevers, who has proved himself capable of holding his place at this level ?
Just another in an ever growing list of mystifying DJ decisions.

Vardys been linked with mosgly league 1 teams

If hes worth a contract at another club, prob in Champs , why isn't he worth a contract with us , not like he hasn't been doing it on the pitch and its obvious hes become an Owl anyway !
Perhaps DJ will explain to us for once ?

If Vardy goes anywhere it will be on loan to a lge1 club. Leic want to give him chance to develop, they feel jump from Fleetwood to Champs too quick and not ready for this level yet.

An offer for mcgoldrick will be put in today keep your eye on sports news.

Has anybody thought that the Llera's agent's contract comments could just be his agent trying to get a deal done.

Llera has far more positive attributes than negatives. He suffers in the eyes of some moronic owls fans because he is a footballer and tries to do the right things from the back! Danny batth and Gardner/Taylor would see us with NO footballers at centre half. It harks back to the pembridge/magilton attitude that pervades most owls fans. Oh, Pembo is good because he looks busy, oh, magilton is crap because he doesn't! Burnley performance was abject all round but generally we aren't a million miles away. We need and want what every club does, a Kevin Phillips up front and a Dennis wise in midfield. Keep the faith and get behind them at hillsborough! Home support was so quiet on Tuesday. UTO!!

Now is the ideal time to get rid of dead wood to which we have got plenty.Taylor and Gardner are simply not good enough , too old, too slow and too injury prone. Theres too much chopping and changing and you cannot expect the likes of Madine to show his worth at this level when he is thrown scraps of 10 minutes here and there are replaced by a bloke up front who scores as many as what Des Walker did. The likes of Maguire have never been given a chance. DJ have a mass cull and concentrate on bringing in one or two quality players in at CB and CF. As for Lleara he deserves another 12 mths at the mighty owls.

Have you even been going to games? gardener has been quality the past weeks, does the simple thing, blocks everything. llera scores goals but can be a liability at the back...e.g...stupid penalty against bristol city?id like to keep both but for someone to say llera is better than gardener you arr clearly diluded!

Heard Llera AND Semedo met with Llera's agent. Aparantly both aren't happy with DJ. Maybe that explains the strange reason Semedo didnt want to keep the captaincy earlier on

Agree but when madine has been given the chance to play he hasnt taken it! rodri i feel sorry for looked like he would be the best player in this division against birmingham and not really had a run in the team at all!

I would say that Madine has had his chance at this level. On the other hand he hasn't exactly been surrounded by quality.

Sorry for the relatively quiet support on Tuesday but I for one was nursing a major hangover, looking forward to next match against MK Dons

Last season he scored goals cause that was his level and he got service cause the players in that league obviously aren't as good, but with the right players madine could prove to be a goalscorer at this level, he's still only. 22 so I believe he will get another chance to prove himself

I personally can't see Madine ever progressing, due to his attitude, speed and work ethic.

Miguel Llera's agent tells Paul Walker he expects him to leave the club before the end of Jan. No new deal on the table, other clubs interested#SWFC

Really when?

llera is a good player, i like him like xx

He wont be missed at all total liability and poor defender

Yet hes scored more goals then most of our team? work that one out then? xx

Wait while hes gone then see.
hes best defender we got at mo his mistakes get noticed more cos he tries to do summat , easy to stroll about like gardner but he never even gets his shorts mucky. at least llera gets in there and he pops up at other end with important goals

Llera has been a true promotion legend last season and will be hard to replace. Great shame he is leaving!

Doesnt get his shorts mucky coz good defenders dont just dive in

So good defenders never put a tackle in? Good defenders stand and watch strikers rattle shots past em in to back of net rather than get shorts mucky?
Suppose they never head a ball either in case they get their face mucky ?

Danny Batth would be a great replacement although we will have pay a lot

Cant defend on ya backside

You obviously have no idea what your talking about, you saying gardener is not a good defender then

Tackles dont always mean diving in everytime just to look good, watch rio and vidic, once you dive in your done for, thought is what makes good players better than average players

I never thought Gardner was as good as Rio and Vidic, I'll watch him more closely ?
I'm not talking about "diving in", no professional should be doing that , although you do see it every week. I'm talking about putting any part of your body on the line if necessary to block a shot, or prevent a goal , working for the cause, breaking sweat and getting out of breath !
Gardners OK, although hes not great compared to most in this lge, way past his best now.
But what I was trying to say given a choice between them in our current position , I would pick Llera over Gardner every time cos he adds more to the team - all over the pitch . Just my opinion !

Llera is not a good defender OPEN y our eyes, jj is useless cog, madine are not good enuff for this league its plain to see, plus the squad fillers dj brought in, there all lge 1 players and thats where wednesday are going FACT
