Putting together a nice squad at Sheffield. Clearly going to be doing the opposite to us and trying to physically dominated other clubs. Keeping Bannan was huge plus for them.
Thought they were a dodgy, skint and under FA,EFL sanction football club?
Oh well, magic'd away I suppose?
The only player they've paid a fee for so far is Akin, a player we had an option to buy but concluded we didn't want.
Not sure they're under sanctions, but their owner has to give the EFL assurances about ability to fund them each season. During their last two years in the Championship, they lost around £25m in each and were circa £125m in debt when relegated to L1. Don't know about last season yet.

Concluded we didn’t want OR didn’t want to pay the fee ?
Not shedding many tears over missing out, certainly there's some sort of a player in there somewhere but not good enough consistently enough for me to see this as a huge loss for us.
Hopefully this transfer will finally put to bed the irrational nonsense about him being any sort of sensible option for Charlton Wednesday's visit to the Valley in February will inevitably be AF's stand out performance of the whole season, because: ex-players
Yes a bad season last year but I think we might regret not signing him. His distribution was terrible but he made countless blocks to stop teams scoring last season. Wouldnt surprise me to see him playing top end championship in a couple of years
My abiding memory will be of him hammering a simple pass down the line out of play and then proceeding to blast DJ for his own mistake. Fans in the away end then hurled a load of abuse for it.
Sad to hear, although not surprised after hearing that he left Milton Keynes on crutches - Hope for him that it's not as long as his first injury with us.

It has to be said, he was very bad last season. He gets his body position completely wrong.

his first season he was superb
So when Sheffield Wednesday get promoted this season he will in fact be a championship player.
Picked up a long term injury.
