Swfc set to sign alan judge from notts county after he rejected there contract.

Why would we wnat third rate winger? Some guy posted this chap before early in summer with other ordinary L! players/

As an alternative to antonio?

Mandaric on radio today says 4,5,or maybe 6 more signings before season starts.

Alan Judge is a good young talent - and would be a great addition to the team

Would be a good signing for any championship club and if you feel he was just an ordinary L1 player, you obviously didnt follow l1 last season as he was one of the few players that stood week in week out in L1

You his agent? I've cottoned onto your little ploy!

I went to the notts county matches both home and away, he is a very good player, they call him the irish messi, i'd sign him

Hope we do sign judge but hope hes not antonios replacement i know which one id rather have but hope we get both

He would not cut it at Championship level, strength and quality issues.

Why is there always negativity? give the lad a chance, we always do this then when the player signs on for someone else and is a hit then its the chairmans fault, if the powers that be think he is quality we should listen!

This is made up rubbish, we are not talking to him and no chance we would buy him.

Strength issues? League 1 is a more physical league than the Championship, so I don't think strength is a problem!

Rob Jones has left by mutual consent on swfc official website. No mention of where he is going, if rumours are correct then Doncaster is his destination.

Why do we keep doing this? He was under contract and we just release him. He's not a bad player and we coulda/shoulda got something for him. Seems captains armband is a poisoned chalice. Ask Darren Purse...

In 18 months he led the team out of relegation trouble and to promotion we signed him for nothing good luck Rob we owe you the chance to get a good deal for yourself hope you do as well for your new club,

We got him on a free and he was over 30, his market value would have been nothing, factor into that that he's been a good servant, will have been on decent wages and wouldn't have got anywhere near the starting eleven then it's obvious that granting him as free transfer was the correct option.

Because we are not going to get a huge fee for him, and what we lose out on in the fee, we save in wages meaning we can bring another player in, quite simple really, League one is his Level great leader and gave his all - Thanks Rob

As much as Rob was a great captain and all round top bloke he realistically wasn't going to feature to much, it's unlikely we would get anything of consequence for him so the termination suits both parties, we have one less wage to pay and Rob gets the chance to find a club faster and get his pre season underway with said new club. Good luck Rob Jones.

Yes rob jones is signing for donny tomorrow been on radio sheffield

Under Rob Jones stewardship as captain this club only went upwards dont mention him in same breath as Purse who did exactly the opposite,and Jones was probably on a lot less money than the vastly overated Purse.

Yeah he is going to Donny. My dads friends with willy mackay. He also mentioned joey barton was at donny sat to meet with mandaric. Hope so !

The 'overrated' Purse? Did you notice what happened as soon as he left? As I recall, we went severely downhill and nearly got relegated to the 4th tier until we got a like-for-like replacement in Jones!

He never liked Wednesday much anyway, coz everyone slated him after just a few games (and fairly enough at the time, he'd done s***e) but some never gave him a real chance after that.

I think the problems started when wood was sold and purse brought in.

Heard DJ and Wilkinson were not at Fun in Park event but away scouting. Can anyone confirm if they were at Hillsbrough Park?

No he wasnt there but manderic was there but on his phone all the time non stop

All top businessmen are on the phone 24/7, means nothing?

Manderic was there I spoke to him and have photo to prove it TOP TOP man.

It would seem source was accurate, if he did not attend, I was told watching Olympic football. One or two tasty players so could be good news.

Was on his phone lol did he av a hot dog or a burger lmfao probly on them dirty chat lines

Mandaric was on the phone to the speaking clock in serbia

You have to admit something important must have been on agenda for him to miss important event. Mandaric would have wanted him there if at all possible. Any guesses who he was watching?
