So if Kaminski was out of contract with Luton but we paid him nearly a million pounds to sign for us , that is bloody crazy..LargeAddick said:
Kaminski was close to a million. Bell was a freebie, Burke will cost a fee.BenHaimandBikey said:
Luton are still getting parachute payments. They are fine financially.Gravesend_Addick said:I know a lot of people see us signing players from Luton as just Jones picking up his mates from his old club, but we don't have the budget to sign proven, established Championship players, so we're picking off the best players from a club that need to sell, who have Championship & even Premier league experience as well as League 1 players who have the potential to improve from other league 1 clubs.
I think it's shrewd business, but perhaps I'm in the minority. I guess time will tell.
Both players signed from Luton were out of contract.
They might turn out to be fine players, I don't know enough about them tbh, but these are about the easiest deals we could have done so far.
Money that will never be recovered.13 -
Luton have a policy of not announcing contract lengths but he wasn't released so he wasn't out of contract6

Think he'll end up at a promotion contender/top half championship side. Seen rumours of a 2.5m valuation so i think that's probably a bit too much for us.AnonymousAddick said:I think if we look at the team we are relatively sorted with goalkeepers nothing more needed in defence bar RWB im not displeased with Burke either, i think it is a pretty Solid defence for the league. Midfield i think a number 8 and maybe a creative midfielder is needed. And to end it off i would love a winger and striker. I would say 4 good signings needed excluding Burke.
The issue is when we look at this team Jones likes to play high energetic football he likes players with an engine players who will give 100% and i think that's why we were so successful last season. We are not going to be bringing in the names as such we will bring in players that suit his system i love players like rak-sakyi but truthfully we saw him play in league one he was lazy, a magician on the ball but lazy never tracked back but was great infront of goal and that's not to say i wouldnt take him cos in all honesty i would in a hearbeat . I feel like its easy to say that players like doc, Anderson wont cut it in this division but with there engines there pressing ability will cause problems, perhaps not glamourous footballers but they never backed out of a challenge and always gave 100% they make 2-3 mistakes a game higher up the pitch but they make 2-3 big interceptions too.
So i think its critical to look at players we bring in and understand they are brought in for a reason to fit a system i personally dont think players like Kellor dunn will be a good investment he's had a good season but for 2-3 million we should put money into a galbraith type player. Someone young, hungry and energetic will battle and will really benefit us.
Realistically i would say the 4 i would be looking at are:
Yan Valery- Sheffield wed
Djedi Gassama- Sheffield Wed
Josh dasilva- free agent
Harvey knibbs- reading
I think these 4 would be perfect for us with the addition of a couple loans I really believe this would make us a serious team in the championship.0 -
Kaminski wasn’t out of contract though, if he was we wouldn’t have paid a fee.Lewis Coaches said:

Given the money that floats around the world, had Kaminski gone to Turkey they probably would have been happy to get him off their wage bill.Lewis Coaches said:

It was probably a clause in the contract that allowed him to go abroad for free but if a English club came in then he would demand a free7

Did he have to go to jail?TheAddicks4Ever said:YAN VALERY asked my mate about him - who is a longtime suffering Southampton fan about his time at the Saints he said he always thought he had potential but he was a bit inconsistent for them will be it was young then a decent championship player he thinks
Maybe we are waiting until after the 15th July - when players are allowed to leave their contract at the "Massives" because they have broken a clause of continued months on late payments in wages
Watch this space...a nice signing on fee and close proximity to airports might sway it for the 27 years old
Put his house on up for sale?
Did he get a good lawyer-er-er?9 -
And wasn’t it something like’ quicken up’ the midfield? This was after we signed Carey so they are still looking. Berry and Doc certainly don’t have pace.fenaddick said:
Not quite, he got close to saying something similar but stopped himself mid sentenceShootersHillGuru said:
Hasn’t Jones himself stated he’s looking for some flair in midfield ?NabySarr said:
I thought people would have learnt from last season when everyone was crying about not signing a playmaker, we didn’t need one last season in league 1 and we don’t need one now in the championship. I remember replying to the same cries, that isn’t how Jones teams create chancesShootersHillGuru said:Squad as is will be lacking in goals. Unless we can find a striker and attacking CM who instigates our attacks and regularly chips in I think we’ll struggle. We need a playmaker and goal scorer and at Championship level they are expensive. For me those are the two big ticket items we need to go and get. A RWB to replace Small is also very desirable because using Ramsay there I think is a waste of his best attributes.We need to sign a central midfielder to compete with Docherty, but it’s not going to be a playmaker. We didn’t need one in league 1 and in the championship we will have much less of the ball. If we only have the ball for 30-40% of games then I’d rather a midfielder that’s good without the ball. On our budget we aren’t going to sign a playmaker that offers what we need out of possession, much better to sign someone who is great out of possession and still an upgrade on Docherty with the ball0 -
We'll have to move quick to get him.eastterrace6168 said:Callumcafc said:John Swift must be worth a deal for a year or two.

IF Sheffield Wednesday are forced into a 'fire sale', they have lot of very decent players who would suit us just fine .. problem is of course the same applies to a lot of EFL clubs .. see who's missing from the list ?0

Michael Smith could definitely do a job for us as a Chuks replacement when we want to go long.7

That’s not Tom Davies the former Everton midfielder is it? Did he sign a 1 year contract at Sheffield Utd. Surely he’d be worth getting in for pre season and taking a lookScoham said:The PFA have a squad of free agents (including Sam Lavelle) playing at Worksop Town tomorrow night, live on X, YouTube and TikTok.
John Swift was mentioned in here a while ago as a possible signing after WBA released him, he's in the squad too.

Would be willing to put money down, especially now we signed Bell over Famewo, that none of the current Sheffield Wednesday squad end up signing for us.3

GK - Shea
RWB- Bree
RCB - Lockyer
CCB - Burke
LCB- Naismith
LWB- Bell
CDM- A.Campbell
CM- MpanzuCM- Lansbury
ST- Adebayo
ST- CornickThis was the main lineup NJ took to 6th in the championship in his last full season before joining us.People wanting flair and creativity it’s not gonna happen based on his football, that is the most defensive and structured side you will ever get at this level. Not a single midfielder finished in Luton’s top 5 for assists that year. As well as that Luton ranked 23rd for Possession and passes that season as well as 18th for SOT per game and still finished in the playoffs.There’s a difference between needing and wanting more attacking creativity we don’t need creativity because of who we have in charge and how he plays he’s proven he can do it without having that playmaker in the team13
