Have released 10 players including Westwood.
Reported that the released players total approx £10 million worth.
Anyone fancy any of them for us ?

More of a reach than a stretch. If you want a stretch I'd go for Adam Armstrong

Reading their forum they seem pretty happy with getting rid of that lot

Stretch Armstrong, right?

I’m too ignorant to comment with any degree of knowledge. Hadn’t even heard of Adam Reach until a couple months ago, however since thought lots of Championship clubs were sniffing around him in recent weeks...???

Frostie · May 22, 2021

Wouldn't touch any of them.
There could be a player in Kadeem Harris but he's never showed up with any consistency.

Van Aken Ive been asking about him all season and I would take Reach is an attacking LWB but knows how to defend so a better version of giles with a bit less pace

Reach has been linked with Norwich so they look like they will be making a great effort at stopping up.

All failures. Don’t want losers.

Kelly had just been relegated to non league when we signed him

Torquay Sky Blue · May 22, 2021

The only one I'd take is Bannan but youd have to buy him and he's 31

Pretty much my thinking.

Saw that last night. Pathetic if that happens.

There is a reason why they were down where they were, needed to clear the decks and recover like we did. Rhodes is a strange one, stock was very high and cost them a fortune. i work with a few Wednesday fans and main rumours we’re Westwood, Rhodes etc ruled the dressing room. No player is bigger than the club

The reason they were down there is starting on -12. I know it was reduced to 6, but clearly would've been a struggle to attract players knowing it would be a relegation scrap and a chance you'd be a L1 player a season later.

Plenty of teams survived such penalties in the past including ourselves, never mind then having the penalty halved. They had plenty of opportunity to get out it, particularly as it was an unusual season where as few as 44 points would have seen them safe. They just weren't good enough and these released players were a large reason why.

They signed 11 players after the points deduction so definitely didn't stop them attracting players. Many teams have overcome that kind of defecit, ourselves included.

I think the bigger problem is they had loads of dross, poor management & failing to pay players for months at a time can't have been great for motivation either.

And they nearly survived too but its not the point I was making.

They signed 11, they could have signed 50, but do you think they would have been primary targets? If you have other similar offers you wouldn't choose a team on -12 is all I'm saying. Recruitment would've been do much harder and they were handicapped hence buying dross that they're now releasing.

Josh Windass wouldnt be a bad signing but not been released

I'd take Westwood. If we can get him on a free and his wages aren't too extortionate it's a no brainer for me. Maybe not as good as he once was, but he's still an improvement on what we've got and allows us to concentrate on other positions.

Sounds like he might be trouble...and past it.

Its a no from me, I know keepers have longer careers but he will be 37 in October. For the wages he would cost, id rather go for someone younger late 20s early 30s thats going to be around for 2-3+ seasons

I'll trust MR, and I doubt he'd be Interested in any of those to be honest.
Looks like we have a much bigger scouting network these days if we are to believe reports that we made an approach for a lad in New Zealand.

I’m sure a lot of his wish for players are identified and lined up

Thought so as well. Commented as such on another thread. Even thought he was out of contract as well, but got that wrong. Even if he was out of contract, we wouldn’t be able to offer the wages that he and his ilk would command elsewhere.

I’d take Westwood all day long

He is too injury prone these days.

If rumours are true he was one of two who thought they were bigger than the club at Wednesday.
Some of us on here and myself included want him based on memories and not his current ability and performances

CDK · May 23, 2021

Think he's well past his best.
