We let Grant go for 15 million and who did we replace him with? We let Billing go for 16 million and who did we replace him with? We let Mounie go for 5 million and who did we replace him with? We let Mooy go for 8 million and who did we replace him with? We have let about 10 players go this pre season and replaced them with mostly league 1 players. I have zero faith in our transfer policy because it is constantly the same old. The one time it wasn't was when we tried something revolutionary and went continental. The sad thing is I genuinely hope nothing but the best for the new lads but feel they are on a hiding to nothing because ability wise they are not a step up from their predecessors. You do realise we have a huge wages bill to pay ( far higher than our income) no paying fans for 18 months and DH taking back his loans. When we went up it was with one of the lowest budgets in the league while still being propped up by DH to the tune of 5m a season Isn't that like most clubs though? Name me one club in this division who has a wage bill lower than their income. We have parachute payments that 80% of the clubs in this division do not have yet we appear to be bigger paupers than all of them.

Why would anyone think that the replacement for a box-to-box midfielder was a centre half? As for Lees, I hope I'm wrong about him but like the other guy we signed that Massive released, I can't see the sense in this one. Unless the sexy part of this is that Lees is only part of the deal and that Barry Bannen is also coming to Town. 😃

The last time I responded to your post you had done the same . Said something you don't believe. Why do you do it . Is it your little comfort blanket? Moan moan moan moan moan.. moan about things happening. Moan about things not happening . Making things up just to moan at knowing that by the time they don't happen people will have forgotten. You are my dad and I'm willing to lift the restraining order so let's meet up for a Toby carvery. Love you dad The chairman said if we shifted players on we would see 'sexier' signings. Our best player is linked with a move away and we are linked with Lee's. Yes I'll fucking continue to moan until the shit show running our club actually do something about the bag of wank we have seen for the last 2 years. Not one signing indicates that will happen. Holmes is our poster boy FFS and we have a manager with one of the worst win % in our history. Every season folk are full of optimism but I just expect perpetual shit because that's what I'm used to (before you harp on about the Premier league that was a complete break from the norm). If we change that then I will be the first to come on here and admit I was wrong so stop trolling you tit. You think we'd replace a fairly average midfielder with a less than average CB 😏

I think the bigger problem will be the departure of Lewis.....having Danny Ward and Duane Holmes on a wage bill won't help....they are both lightweight....signing some reserve players from league one won't help either,,,,Dean shafted Phil....Phil had no chance from day one...however, signing ex players from his HTAFC fantasy team won't help....
happy clappers please don't bother to reply...

If we sign Tom Lees you can back us to get relegated now, beyond a joke this club! Your neither qualified or certified to make a comment about the club being a joke look in the mirror No worse than your use of English it’s ‘you’re’ muppet!

If we are signing another centreback. Who loses out? Does it mean one of Critchlow or REG is going out. Or has Corberan finally come to his senses and seen what a liability Sarr is.

Sadly, think there are doubts on Crichlow (so a season on loan to league 1/2 if best for now), and with REG, he is borderline, still see potential but not starting at this stage. As to Sarr, I think it is clear that CC did see the issue, and they have brought in two very good starting CB's, dropping Sarr to the bench. And, if we are considering Lees, would see him as a better back up then REG, and even Sarr for that matter.

Not a great sign that the last CB our recruitment team identified and paid money for is the current worst of the bunch. He, Arrons & Holmes were all disappointing after being signed as first XI players last season. Fingers crossed they’ve done a better job this summer.

I think it’s likely REG goes out on loan looking at this as he’s the current backup right sided centre half.Looking at Pearsons stats over the last few seasons he seems to have the ability to play lots and lots of games.Maybe the club have looked at that and decided what REG needs at the moment is game time and a fair amount of it. Send him to league 1 on loan where he will play and get lees in as backup for Pearson,yes he maybe slightly past his best but has all the experience needed to fill in for the handful of games required.Also if colwill is to play plenty of games too experience at the side of him will be preferable.

Really don't understand why we would suddenly be interested when we could have signed him weeks ago. Unless he was being daft with his wage demands and now he's bottling it because nobody has agreed to it and he is still without a club one week before the first league game

Had he not been injured at the end of last season? Perhaps we wanted evidence of his recovery.

Good to see this comment from Bromby
His arrival also gives us the opportunity to look for high-quality loans for some of our younger centre backs who are on the fringes of the First Team squad; the players who would not start every week for us, but whose development would really benefit from a full season of competitive football.
Exactly what is needed.

We change our policy on signing every few months.
It’s clear the only policy is that Bromby or Phil are mates with the player/agent and that they don’t require a fee.

Exactly what is needed. Agreed, but we put faith in a coach to develop players and we are sending them to other coaches to develop. Recruitment seems way off for me this year, just signing low championship level, no risk pros. I've got third transfer window blues.... these kids coming through are the 0nly hope of doing anything under Phil, his wallet isn't big enough for the championship. Its recruitment with the aim of finishing 15th..

Bromby continued,
‘His experience of getting relegated as part of a truly dreadful squad will be invaluable to the club over the coming season. He follows in the footsteps of the esteemed Tommy Elphick in being a centre back in his thirties getting a multi-season contract to tie up a chunk of our diminishing budget for at least two seasons. As a team devoid of pace, creativity and flair we felt the addition of another lummox was exactly what we needed to fire us up for the forthcoming campaign. As well as being a competent centre back, he can also fill in as a marauding right back, a la Thomas Heary, perfect for when Pipa inevitably leaves and isn’t replaced.We promised some sexy signings and here he is!’

Its recruitment with the aim of finishing 15th.. I agree but we can’t develop them all at once. Hopefully we will see Thomas, Grant, Rowe and High get game time and develop this season. Conceding goals was our big problem last season so I don’t mind if we send out the young centre backs to get game time. The key this window will be how we replace Bacuna and Mbenza (if we can sell them). Solid lower championship pros with a sprinkling of quality in attack wouldn’t be too bad.

Exactly what is needed. I'm a bit surprised that they don't consider Reg to be ready yet, I thought he was definitely good enough least season but it's probably quite sensible to take the pressure off our own younger defenders when the back line needs such a rebuild. League One clubs should be queueing up for him and Crichlow, hopefully a good year and at least one of them will be ready to be playing every week by the time they come back

Can’t say I’ve seen much of him, so don’t feel in a position to make a proper judgement. However, most Sheffield Wednesday fans are saying pretty much the same: decent defender, fairly solid, but isn’t comfortable playing out from the back. So, when he plays, is CC tossing his philosophy out the window? Seems to be an okay signing though, and allows some of the younger lads to go out loan - ideally to League 1.

I get this as a stop gap signing whilst some of our younger players go out on loan to get experience.
But why a two year contract?
Why do we keep lumbering ourselves with more over the hill players?

With the type of players we are signing maybe those in charge aren’t banking on Carlos been with us for long.
