If he can do that consistently it will be a substantial qualitative leap forward.
I share the doubts about him and probably wouldn't lose sleep if he departs, but in fairness he is still comparatively young and maybe we can make a real player of him yet.
All six of his Charlton goals were masterpieces, it's a shame none of them were at the Valley and maybe he would have momentarily silenced some of his no-nothing detractors.10 -
I think you will find the squad size is actually 20 for leagues one and two this season the ruling above was for 20/21 the 22/23 season reduces to 20. But I think near enough all our players meet the homegrown rule, The squad sizes rule was contested at the same time as the salary cap by the PFA but only the latter was agreed upon by the EFLswordfish said:Just to clarify, I fired off an EFL request for information the other day on squad limits for the season and got the following reply."The squad limit for League One Clubs is 22 players, of which 8 must be homegrown. As you suggest for League One Clubs, Under 21’s and Goalkeepers don’t count towards the limit. This is covered under Regulation 43.9 of the EFL Regulations."
Hope that helps those who, like myself, were still unsure.

Morgan, Henry, Elerewe and Leaburn are the only 4 near the squad.
Then Kanu, Barker, Clayden, Bakrin?
Seems a bit implausible, or am I missing something?
Its those who came through an Academy in England - I imagine the only player who isnt home grown in the squad is Eoghan O'Connell because he started out in Scotland, but even then I'm not sure on the consistency of what is British and what is English in Football, so he may well be too

My initial reaction to that is, how the fcuk would Killer know.Karim_myBagheri said:

But assuming Rommedahl himself "said so", then I can only say he is a remarkably accomplished striker of the ball for somebody who does it blind.
False modesty maybe.0 -

My memory is that Curbs was always pretty proud of the fact that he persuaded him to come to little old Charlton in the face of "better" alternatives.0 -
You'd better tell the EFL then as I had this response from them by email today. For the record, it was because I'd seen the information you're referring to that I decided to ask the question in the first place, and I asked if it was 22, 21 or 20 for this season. I've quoted the text from the reply I received. I hope that's clear now 😎smurfd said:

He used hit it hard and on target, and then hope0 -
It would only take one “marquee” transfer like this to unite the fans behind TS, I must admit I think it would be perfect for us, but happy to trust the process and structure we’ve got going on for now.PWADDICK said:We should be all over this in my opinion1 -

Agree, I think he would fit into our system really well. Very proven in League 1. I also think it is a shame that we didn't get James Collins if he was heading back to League 1 (signed for Derby) as I think he would have been an excellent central striker in the style that we have played so far in pre season.PWADDICK said:We should be all over this in my opinion2 -
That said he’s played for many clubs across Yorkshire and the surrounding areas I can see him ending up at Rotherham.BR7_addick said:

But why would Weds be ending thier interest in Wilks? Wages? Fee? Attitude? He's well known for being a pain in the arse and difficult to manage, and I'm surprised he's such a target on here given that he was in and out - but mostly out - of a Hull side that finished 19th in the Championship where he scored 3 goals and got one assist. He's had two very good League One seasons, but whether it's cost or attitude, I don't know if it's necessarily worth us pushing the boat out to take a risk on a player who definitely can't do it up a level. I'm not against him signing but I'm surprised there's such a swell of support for him, especially given what happened the last time we signed a well-known difficult player last seen at Hull. Why are Hull letting him go?

If you look at Hull's current transfer policy, it is seemingly about signing Turkish players and indeed those further abroad that are aligned to the owner. More homegrown players are being sold off or let go, which is why I think that Wilkes is in that category.Garrymanilow said:But why would Weds be ending thier interest in Wilks? Wages? Fee? Attitude?

I think we're thinking he would be a good signing because he would fit in the role of wide forward perfectly. He has pace, a good finisher and has proven stats at this level.
I agree that he hasn't set the world alight in the Championship, but I think bringing in a couple of players with experience of getting out of league one, to compliment those that we have already brought in is a wise decision.
I think he would be a very good signing from a footballing perspective, I agree that I don't want any disruptive influences in the squad though.1 -
Here’s the article https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sheffield-wednesday-transfer-hull-wilks-24484787
Wednesday bid around £200k, Hull want more. Famewo for £50k was the first fee they paid for a couple of years, so they’re another club not throwing money round when it comes to transfer fees.6 -
Rumour had it that Wednesday had agreed a fee of £200k for Wilks - An absolute steal if true, and it worked out.BR7_addick said:

Wilkes would be perfect playing off Stockley as one of the three. Kirk/CBT/DJ the other side.4

If Wilkes is available for 500k or less, it would be mad not to jump on it.1

Bargain, maybe he demanded a massive salary to drop down a league which would rule us out I guess.ForeverAddickted said:

Still the resale value box would be firmly ticked even if he done another season banging goals in league one TS could move him on for profit.1 -

Our goal is to get out of League 1 and as you say Wilkes is as proven as you can get at this level. I'd say it's worth attempting to get him.1 -
I did see that he is with Arsenal in USA with a view to a loan closer to the season starting.mart77 said:Another shit Twitter rumour alert🚨🚨2 -
Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday looking at Kyle Joseph from Swansea.
20 years old, born in Barnet and came through the Wigan academy. Scottish youth international. Would be a loan prospect.
5 goals in 12 starts (6 sub apps) for Wigan 20-21
4 goals in 13 starts (6 sub apps) for Cheltenham 21-220 -

Not everyone is very, very good on their day though.J BLOCK said:
Everyone is good on their day, that's why they became professional footballers.JamesSeed said:On his day JF-C is very, very good. If he stays fit this season there’s no reason he couldn’t force his way into the starting eleven.He's one of those players who will have a great season for sure if he leaves.
In fact at this level few are.Great hat-trick at the Valley, and he doesn’t really have many off days, from what I can remember?
Well anyway, I’d be disappointed if he left without someone coming in to replace him, and I’m still not convinced by Gilbey.1 -
I believe Sheff W were on a transfer embargo last year. Came out of it a week before the season started iirc. They had a few new players when they played us on the first week of the season but they were all on a one in/one out basis like we were & no fee/ replacement wages.Scoham said:Here’s the article https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sheffield-wednesday-transfer-hull-wilks-24484787

Similar to Derby this season. Both teams will be stronger as time goes on.1 -
There should be some sort of filter/button (separate thread?!) on here to differentiate between "rumour" & "wishlist".
That said, Wilks should be top of any of our personal wishlists this summer.
He's one of the most memorable opposition players at this level in recent years.
The Yorkshire connection is apparent but he's a young lad, who's to say he wouldn't fancy a spell in the capital?
Ideal replacement for Washington under Garner's ethos. Arguably an upgrade.
Highly doubt we're in for him though. Someone Gallen must have already enquired about more than once over the past few years.0 -
