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. Spot on and I'll be honest I didn't really see us going for lees not that the lad cannot play but getting the young lads game time in league one two or national will be good for them and town we now have more experience in the squad

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? We absolutely love a two year contract for a free defender over 30. Not a bad option I suppose.

Well at least he's ahead of many recent signings; he has already scored for us once...

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.. No risk pros is exactly what we were lacking last year. Squad building isn't always glamorous but it's refreshing to see some wholly pragmatic business for a change. I do expect to see young players coming through this year, I just think that sorting the defence out is higher on Carlos' list of priorities, so it's better to get an old head in for cover than to possibly inhibit the development of Edmonds-Green and Crichlow by holding onto them as the bit part options.

He's two months younger than the 30 year-old Aaron Mooy. Surely you didn’t just compare Aaron Mooy to Tom Lees 🤔

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 REG got worse as the season went on. I don't know whether it was the relegation battle or the people he had to play alongside. This is one of my issues with Corberan. He is supposed to be this great coach, bringing on younger players. But quite a few went backwards last season.

Could be Ollie Turton's Doppelgänger judging by some photos. Referees will have to be extra vigilent in a booking situation that they don't get one mixed up with the other.

Town fans will moan about his age, but would’ve been throwing themselves around their bedrooms had 31 year Schindler extended his contract!

I think he has a look of Lionel messi in that signed photo from Twitter. I’m sure the commentators will cope with that one though especially when he’s launching it into his own net from 5 yards.

Comments on this signing just sum up town fans in a nutshell. Same posters who've moaned that we're "hoping to get by with kids" are now moaning that we've signed an over the hill 30 year old with 400 championship appearances to his name.

No, but that’s because his ability is above this level or at very least top end championship. That’s not what we are getting here. Now that said, I’m not saying this lad can’t do a job, just that they are different gravy.

Just checked and it would seem he's an inch or two taller than Turton, too.

I don’t mind him being 30, it’s just that he’s been struggling for the last 3 or 4 years and we’ve just given him another 2. I’d like to think there was a plan behind it, maybe they’ve seen something they can unlock that had been holding him back at Wednesday. But I really don’t have the faith that we go that deep with recruitment. The contracts we’re handing out to players, we must be an agent’s dream.

Wouldn't know if he'd struggled the last two seasons as I don't watch a lot of Sheffield Wednesday games. Just to say there's a difference between a player struggling and a player playing for a team that's struggling.

Some fans just like a moan and will move goalposts to fit their argument. Yes he got relegated last season. I wasn't aware one centre back was the difference between staying up and going down. He's not yet 31 which isn't a terrible age for a CB so I don't see a 2 year deal as a catastrophe. Its the same with Rhodes - there were loads of fans who for about 3 years have been clamouring for us to get Rhodes back. Now we have him and I haven't seen a positive word said about him. I never thought we should get him back but he's back now so I will support him.

A solid signing if you ask me Proven and it bulks the squad up, People were moaning with the injuries last year, and the signing of keogh, these kind of signings should eradicate that this season Hopefully 🙏

LOL - so reading between the lines, we wanted him earlier, his wage demands were too high, he realised no-one else wanted him so he came crawling back, and we whipped the contract straight back out?

Do you think him playing 40 games in league 1 or about 10 games in the championship will be best for his development? In what areas do you think he needs to develop? Personally I think he needs to get physically stronger and more consistent - a full season in league one will be better in my opinion. Although it might be Crichlow rather than REG that’s going out on loan.

Wasn't keen when I first heard the rumour but 400 plus games at Championship level and still 'only' 30, then why not. We shipped goals for fun last season and I think we're way better equipped defensively this season now. Still can't see where the goals are going to come from though.
