We are rumoured to be after him from Wednesday according to Nixon.
Makes sense on 4 counts:
- free transfer - currently injured with ankle ligament damage - wrong side of 30 - spent 4 years playing with Bromby at Leeds (so we have his phone number and didn’t have to bother doing any actual scouting to ‘identify’ him

experienced defender as well in the championship, leader which we need so I'll take him but still another centre back

You know it'll be bad when their fans are all happy that he is leaving.
I have watched Wednesday 2/3 times this season and he always turned like a truck and wasn't the best passer out of defence. As a third choice back up he would be OK... should be nowhere near starting.
Just interesting to hear the club say we will sign players for Carlos' style of play - then our first two signings could potentially be Rhodes and Lees. Am I surprised? No.

If this is true, then I think fans have every right to be seriously concerned. I know a couple of wednesday fans and they don’t even want him in league one and are begging the club to not give him a new contract as he can’t stay fit. Stinks of desperation.

Good God. I'd take Bannan, Westwood, Windass and Reach, maybe. But if we were going to do a raid on that Wednesday team, Lees wouldn't have made the list!

Proved himself good at scoring goals for us. 🤪 Hasn't he got 2?

Free ✔ Over 30 ✔ Poor season ✔ Zero pace ✔ Bromby knows him ✔
Yep, ticks all the boxes.
Tbf, I'd have had him here 3/4 years ago but his best years are gone.

This better not be true. We've just released three 30+ central defenders and I'd much rather have kept Steerman than a relegated Wednesday reject who their fans don't appear to rate.

I forgot Poor on the ball ✔ That's the way town do it, bring in a coach who likes his team to play it out from the back then give him cloggers that can't pass a ball to save their lives. It's like offering him a bowl of soup then giving him a fork to eat it with.

I mean he's 3 years younger than Elphick and Stearman, but I agree that it's not the most inspiring signing. Great in the air and a solid enough defender but not so great on the ball and wouldn't seem to fit with Carlos' playing it out from the back style of play...

If this story is true then the club have really lost the plot.

We have a lot of work to do with the whole squad most will be in this range free transfers or potentials/loans so I'm not surprised we are looking at him lets hope we can find the odd gem

Ticks all the boxes, give him a 3 year contract.

Why is it we always sign these players when they are 3 years beyond their peak? As you say, would have been a decent signing a few years back but not now. The sort of signing those wavering over renewing that will not convince them to put their hands in their pockets.

We appear to assigned Carlos ball in to the waste bin based on our transfer targets.

I hope not as Wednesday fans seem happy to see him go.

Why is every centre back we seem to be linked to a free over 30? Surely we’ve worked out that they get injured. We got Elphick in, we had to get Stearman in to cover for him and then Keogh to cover for them both. It cost a lot fortune and we managed to concede the most amount of goals in the league. How can we not have learnt from that experience?

We love a relegated centre half.
