Are you suggesting that a player who signed for Chelsea, at a point in his career where it was pretty close to certain that he’d never actually play for them, is somehow motivated by money?

Maybe this will be the norm for some early deals? Players 'waiving' the last month's wages to secure a contract that might not be there on July 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European window opens July 1st for Paixao's latest batch of 2nd division Germans and some dodgy Portuguese Actually, this made me think about works permits/GBE's and signing non British/Irish players going forward. We (and other non PL clubs) will be limited to signing players from a certain number of leagues. No much chance of picking up players from non top flight/Band 1 foreign leagues in my opinion. As an exercise, I checked how many points one our most recent signing from the German second division (a band 4 league) would have got. As far as I can tell, Julian Borner would have got 10 points, and you need 15 points to be granted a GBE, basically he would not have been able to sign. Syalla Sow, on the other hand, coming from a Band 1 league, gets 19 points, easily enough for a GBE. I can show my working if required 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M42Owl Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 38% on its own is a meaningless stat. If we’d conceded more goals from open play would things be better, or just look better? We conceded 50 in total which is less than Wycombe and Sunderland, and only 6 more than Wigan and MK. We all know that we conceded too many goals from corners and free kicks, but how many did we actually concede? 19. How does this compare to other teams? I suspect that since signing Storey and Dean and having “proper” defenders regularly at the back, set piece goals conceded have been less frequent.

Sounds like Stocksbridge Park Steels Under 16s. Because of this I try and get them to avoid giving cheap corners and free kicks and same applies to Wednesday.

Shipston, who turned 17 a few months ago, will begin the second year of his Owls scholarship when the youth sides return next month, and played a big part in the impressive form of Andy Holdsworth’s U18s last time out. At one point last season the teenager was asked to turn out for England in a behind-closed-doors fixture, and The Star understands that both Brighton & Hove Albion and Norwich City are keeping tabs on his situation and his progression.
