Teddy Nickelarse Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Bellsview said: Already happening - seen one muppet on Twitter already comparing our transfer activity with this time last season, stating our lack of activity allowed Plymouth and Ipswich to gain the upper hand on us - and that the same is going to happen this time around with our close rivals. I always thought the January transfer window ended on the 31st, not today! If I became a billionaire overnight I still wouldn’t touch this club, as the absolute muppet level of some of our support has to be witnessed to be believed! Yes a common trait is the invention of possible future adverse scenarios, as though they had actually occurred, to fuel rantings against DC Every Wednesday fan knows that DC has his flaws but its the relentless hypocrisy and downright dishonesty of his noisiest abusers that irks many, including me.

Otto_Man Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Business in January is always far more expensive than it should be so I don't blame the owner for not doing much. You also don't know how much of it is in the hands of the manager either, let's be right we've all said time and again that squad should have walked League 1.

TheExile Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Since Röhl came in January has been more about getting a better keeper and strikers who can play his way which we have done so I don’t really get the panic from some other platforms that we haven’t signed a whole new team as that was never happening and there’s not much money in the championship currently for clubs to be aggressive. In some windows we have only brought in 1/2 on the final day so I expect that to be the same taking the total to 3/4 over the window. Suspect Johnson will have had head turned though and we may need to replace him unexpectedly which may also be why Rohl is not wanting to talk as freely.

Teddy Nickelarse Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-marvin-johnson-ipswich-town-4486623 I understand the need to wheel and deal but arguably our best performing player currently on a free? Hope not. Wonder what DR means by this exactly?.... "In the transfer window anything is possible in both directions. What is clear is that he is a starter at the moment, he has a lot of running forward, he has made improvements in defence and he is a good left full-back for us and he is helpful. In the end some decisions are on the other table, not my table." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Putting aside what happened yesterday, which is hard I know, but do we think there will be any more incoming? I suspect we need to get some off the wage bill before there’s any chance of any incomings.

KrolMong Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We’ve been turned down by a few. Rohl alluded to this last week and at the weekend. He’s been trying to get a central midfield player and another forward, and he’s been linked with a couple of left backs. Based on that, I’d assume he wants another three in. I’d expect there may need to be some players going out. So if Smith and Gregory are two of those players, then so be it. I only see Johnson going if it’s a cash deal and if we can bring a similar player in at the same time, but I think the player owns that situation.

Tylluan Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) 4 hours ago, Snap said: Not sure which wing he plays on. Maybe that allows the Johnson to Ipswich move to happen. Best get their skates on if that's what they're thinking. He plays on the left but he's definitely not as defensive as Johnson He's having a good season and Wigan want to cash in before his contract ends in June. But before this season he was a bit meh and has spent a lot of his time in the SPL. A 29 year old journeyman seems a little old to be fitting in to Rohl's more youthful revolution.
