NON Wednesday transfer thread 24/25

[Tylluan]

Starting with.

Surprise surprise but Warne wants to take Viktor Johansson from Rotherham but faces competition from the pigs. Johansson has one year left but a release clause of around £500k. Rotherham are hoping for a bidding war, especially as Johansson looks likely to be named in the Championship squad of the season. 

 

Joe Wildsmith's contract is up at the end of the season and has attracted Championship interest. However there's a whisper he may be off to Man City as 3rd choice if Scott Carson moves into coaching. City will look to fulfill Carson's spot with another English keeper to keep within their homegrown quota 

[Otto_Man]

I like the Rotherham keeper, he seems decent, think we could do a lot worse. Surprised Championship clubs are in for Wildsmith, seems like Dawson to me in as far as they're solid enough for L1, but not quite got enough for the championship?!

Man City may send 18 year old wonder kid Claudio Echeverri out on loan in England to get him used to the pace. 

Signed from River Plate last January but loaned straight back until the end of the season. Dubbed the next Messi and is seen as a long term replacement for De Bruyne 

[Tylluan]

Seems Tom Heaton has become surplus to requirements at Old Trafford. 

38 years old, though. 

[M42Owl]

If we get Beadle back, we need a new no. 2, unless Dawson is content with that role, which I doubt. I’d like to see Charles getting regular games so he needs to go out on loan. So we need a keeper to come in and be happy to play second fiddle to Beadle. Not sure if Heston would be, but I’d prefer an older, experienced, been there done it type as back up.

Gerrimin. 

[Tylluan]

In today's 'no shit, Sherlock' news, Swansea are being linked with Macaulay Langstaff but Notts price of £1.5m is putting the owners off which is causing friction between them and Williams. It doesn't look like he's being given a pot to piss in, transfer wise, and they'll be heavy into the loan market 

The price isn't putting Wrexham off though and they are expected to test County's resolve.

500k for Johansson seems decent. I suspect a fair few will match that then it’s over to the contract. Sounds like we prefer Beadle but it would be good to get our own No1 as I don’t think we replaced Westwood. 
 

Blades linked with Sunderlands keeper but that must be a difficult one for them cost wise and also given he could probably get a move to the PL if he plays his cards right

Have I missed something? Last I heard it was  £750-900k depending on who listen to around his release clause

Yea, yea, all right. 

Got that one wrong. Stewart is pushing for £900k and hoping a bidding war takes it over a million. Stoke, Derby, and a couple of others showing interest. 

[TheExile]

Presumably if there’s a release clause, whatever it is, there will be no bidding war unless no one wants to pay as high as the clause itself. Can’t see many clubs paying 1m for him unconditionally but maybe the changes in tv income change the market this summer.

Someone's taken a photo of Jonson Clarke-Harris at Sheffield train station and Toytown have gone into meltdown that he was on his way to sign for them. 

Derby also interested

Hopefully he was just passing through. 

[Otto_Man]

Chesterfield have signed Paddy Madden from Stockport, which seems to have gone down like a cup of cold sick with the Stockport fans

[HoylandOwl]

Like a cup of cold sick. That proper made me laugh!

Former promising Owl who starred in that 6-1 win against L**ds moves on again....

They've already tabled a bid for Johansson but it's well short

Just seen Biggs tweeting that its close to a completed deal. 

Blunts at work have been adamant he was signing for them.

Stewart has broken his League 1 wage structure to get him to sign and he won't be the last. 

There's a few in my world think Rotherham will be fucked financially if Evans gets his way on signings but they don't go straight back up. 

[OptimisticOwl]

Joe Wildsmith released at Derby after an impressive season with them.

Would he be prepared to come back as no. 2 if Dawson doesn't re-sign?

No.

Rumours are he is off to Citeh to fill their homegrown quota

As Reesh said. 

While he's still only 28 the lure of £20-25k a week and medals for sitting on a bench, with the odd game thrown in, sets his family up very well. 

He was on £3k with us and £7k at Derby

Saw it mentioned earlier. Good luck to him. He might lose the “sweet prince” tag for a while with the kids on X

Evans must have something on Stewart as he’s the only one who can get some budget out of him. Byers meant to be going there alongside McWilliams and JCH. Big lads League one galacticos

Rotherham Owls has a new meaning, especially if Dawson signs as has been rumoured.

Evans' honeymoon period won't last long if it goes tits up early doors

Genuine question not just to you Tee, why do folk get uptight about what club a now ex player turns up at 

His Wednesday career is over, he may cross paths at some point 

I think I just see players as commodities that come and go

I know your local team just got transplanted near you but the vitriol we get from Chesterfield, Dingles, Donny and Groomer FC fans means it's a loathing to want any success even for an ex player.

Because of their fan’s jumped up attitude…. 
Nothing to do with the club, I know some cracking folks down there… for them. I’m pleased. For the fans. Nope.

I want both Byers and James to do well. I loved their attitude: they are both likeable players with an infectious attitude that lifts their team mates. But it would definitely take the edge off my feelings a bit if they're playing for a club, many of whose fans openly detest ours.

OK I do sort of get that - but I find ignoring them is much better than even acknowledging their existence 

I accept i don't have to live amongst the fuckers 

I am still dismayed the day I saw a Pig fan in the next village to me. I swerved 2 or 3 times and still missed em and came home in a bad mood as 20k had been wiped off local property values in an instance

I can't believe you've put that last bit in writing!  Never heard of the RSPCA?   😮
