Max Lowe signing for Sheffield Wednesday.
That’s Derby, Forest, Sheff Utd and now Wednesday. Allergic to moving house, or more likely, physiotherapist.Decent signing for them - he has a decent playing record despite the myths about him being unfit

Apart from Barks, NML, Wash and CBT 👀
I apologise - I meant centre forwards

We need goals from midfield because currently we have no forwards 🤔

Don't think he even stood out at League One level, so seen nothing to suggest he would be able to cut it in The Championship.
With his injury record it's a no from me.
Would definitely need to be minimum wage with bonuses for actual playing time !
-
Sensible move for him if he’s up to the job

By my maths that was SMac-2, which means we hid the philosophy very well. Very well indeed.
Also interesting that if this was the timeline then Nugent was likely the plan B.
I can’t imagine Nugent was plan A at that point in time

We don’t need Marinikas blood money even if it was 50 mill
Of course we need £50 million but from them it’s pay all of it up front because they haven’t got it

Does that Whittaker will want to be off sharpish

I'd love to see Ben here. Very similar to Jamie Ward I think
Not as good as Jamie Ward offensively but could replace Sibley if he moves on as cover for the LWB role we will probably use

Do we not ? I thought when barks was playing up till he was injured he was playing in that role. Nml also has a spell in that position too.
Well, maybe that was what was said at the time but actually being good at that specific role is all about opinions
-
Goal scorers cost money in fees and wages but you have to play them in their most productive positions
we currently don’t play with an attacking central midfielder and I don’t see that changing with Warne as the current manager but he may well play Sibley at left wing back where he has performed decently - managers don’t last half a season in the championship on average so being patient has its merits

Sure great guy. CB cover maybe but another slow one. Can't see him at LB or LWB at this level.
There must have been about ten LB or LWB brought in to replace him over the years and not one of them was any better - his ability to slot in a left sided centre half if we play 3 at the back will be very useful.

Rumours that he is a) off to Pompey and b) back to Wendy
Also rumours that Collo has an offer from Brum
Brum would be a decent move for JC but he did start at Villa I think whilst Wildsmith can go wherever he wants if he doesn’t want to be here any longer.

Is it possible that we’ve offered Sibley a deal just to protect his value at a tribunal?
Well yes but his contract was decent already remembering he was offered his based on a hat trick in the championship for a midfielder and a lot of promise - hopefully he stays
-
No major disappointment in that list, Wildsmith obviously values himself higher than we can afford for a goalkeeper unless we bring in a better one whilst if Smith had stayed I would have only expected him to be a sub. Gayle is one I would have liked to have taken for a year if he wanted to stay because he knows where to be to put the ball in the net. Hopefully Sibley wants to stay with us whilst Collins might not want to be Sub most weeks so I expect he might get a longer term deal elsewhere as first choice. We will see if Warne tries to move on Fornah and Washington who have had next to no impact in league one and we will be in the championship.
A big thanks to the players leaving who all contributed to promotion out of that dreadful league, whilst I hope we see better players replacing them.

I dont see Iverson as a number 1. He was rather average when at Preston a couple of years back, and pretty poor at Stoke.
This would make sense if the rumour of Vickers leaving is also true. He'll also help with integrating any Danish (and Dutch to a lesser extent) players to the club.
Interesting as I think he is an excellent goalkeeper and was very good when at Preston whilst being at Stoke has blotted many decent players CV
whilst being a Leicester player indicates a higher wage which could be a problem

Yeah good call on this, i think the £10m ideas are a bit fanciful at this point!
let’s see how he gets on in league one, I’d hope Warne has a look at him in pre season though. If thinks can help the first team then be good to see him play.
If brown plays and scores goals in the championship then £10m would not be a shock!
9 subs next season and he should be one of them and hopefully get proper starts on top of that

Or we're letting them train to be fit to get deals elsewhere? Or Sibley and Thommo had bust up on break at the cabin and he's letting off steam at least! 🤷♀️
They are employed by the club so turning up for work when expected maybe

I've read/heard of 27 different players we're buying this summer. 2 of those arriving would be a miracle. Where did you hear it? Who from? A reputable, reliable source or did you overhear someone saying they'd seen something on FB or X?
The whole point being there's a lot of crap being written by folk wanting clicks to gain advertising revenue from their FB pages, YouTube channels and websites. We don't yet know who's staying and who's going. We're not the only club that hasn't yet published their retained list. Unless a club has said something, there's no traction in any of these rumours.
Very good source thanks - will he change his mind now that we have achieved promotion who knows because people do but I am not expecting him to still be with us next season.
-
I did hear a couple of weeks back that he turned down our offer and wanted more money and is looking elsewhere which is his choice. He helped us and we helped him.

I hope Bolton go up and expect them to, finished 3rd and only have to play Oxford who somehow got past a much better Peterborough
