Good call I Monster, Le Fondre Bid Rejected

Different day, same conversation. YES we're 3-4 players short. Yes, there's only two weeks to go. We know we're a bit thin on numbers. GM and MM know we're thin on numbers.
What we need to hope is that we don't start paying silly money for players who at the start of the summer we thought wouldn't be good enough (£500k for ALF, anyone?) just to fill those places.

The squad we have now is no smaller than the squad we had at this stage last season.

This time last season everyone was wetting themselves about having the strongest squad in the division & how we'll pi55 the league!

Hmmmmm......

To be fair, we're all biting our nails right now. We're all accutely aware of the lack of movement on the transfer front and worried that Meggo might start grabbing at straws to fill the gaps! Names are being tossed around like confetti, yet only Meggo & MM know what's truly in the pipeline. The weakness up front is what really worries me. Unlike others, I think 2 more full signings could do it for now with a couple of last minute loans which are probably in the pipeline anyway! (he writes, while crossing his fingers and toes!!) I still feel Meggo got over-confident about the Mellor situation and thus jumped the gun when releasing Heffers. At least we can all take comfort from the 20+ goals Morrison has promised us this season

"Buy in advance"!

Maybe they should have taken their own advice!!?

500k for a div 3 striker? on yer bike I say

Bit of a simplistic view of it that!

Well, we're simple folk.

Megson out!

We forget that Sheffeild Wednesday is a passion to us & a business to MM offering low first offers & negotiating upwards is standard buying practise in all businesses. We will see a few signing just before the season starts & they will take a few games to gel with the other players them it's top top top of the league............ or alot of you will say told ya so!

If he wasn't in the last year of his contract I'd say £500k is about right. If a player is good I don't think the division he plays in should put that much of a ceiling on his value. Le Fondre has scored bags of goals for teams that haven't even been promotoed - not much more he could do than he has..
