Is Davison-Ponytail now a double-barrelled name?10

Guessing you missed the part before his injury where he showed tremendous potential to the point we were praying for him to return quicker? It’s worth taking the gamble at 50k even though he was absolute garbage after his injuryJ BLOCK said:

50 k is cheap for Famewo isn't it?Scoham said: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.2 -
YoungFishCosta4tune said: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.
There's no argument about it, he would be a massive upgrade on Washington. 18 goals and 8 assists last time he was in league 1, which is more goals and assists than Washington blessed us with over his 2 seasons of utter mediocrity.1 -
Gets about a bitCallumcafc said: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 21-222 -

I wouldn't say Wilkes is the answer. We need a Wilkes type player, one that is going to score goals from the wide areas. Remember Maginnis and Eves were Hull Central strikers when they won the league.Garrymanilow 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?1 -
I’m genuinely finding it hard to believe Famewo was sold for 50k? He’s worth far more than that, gonna assume that’s a typo and meant to be 500k. I think him and O’Connell could have been formidable together. One bad season with two pants managers and a team that kept rotating doesn’t make him a bad player. Still kind of annoyed we didn’t get him and expect to see him in the team of the season for league one.McKirdy is probably worth about 500-800k in this market and his contract, a mill is a bit cheeky but he is their player and it isn’t my money.Not sure on Wilks, was caught up in that stabbing a few years back and seems a troubled lad on face value, cracking player though and I do really like a menace in the team. He has had some of our lower covered end fans on strings when he’s come to play here at times haha.Just imagine if we signed McKirdy and Wilks and they both started, opposition fans blood pressures would be through the roof 😂1

Famewo £50k came from here, it’s in both the tweet and the article so fairly safe assume it’s correct.

Re: Famewo, was it not said early on that he didn't want to stay. Didn't think his distribution was up to much, to be honest.
Don't know how much McKirdy is worth but I was just looking at a list of the most expensive signings ever made from League 2. Some good players on there. Standing proudly in 9th place for 1.5 million pounds... Izale McLeod.

I can see him improving and it wouldn’t surprise me if he settles in the Championship, but he’s not the right type of CB for the style Garner is implementing.Braziliance said:

He's far more suited than Lavelle is in my opinion.2 -
Famewo was shit, couldn't pass the ball and had to rely on pace to get out of sticky situations (usually him being caught 10+ yards out of position in the first place) and he only went backwards with us. 50k is about right5
-
Each to their own & we are all gonna have our own opinions, but he is head and shoulders above Lavelle and Innis in his passing ability imo. Garners team liked a long ball last season as much as they had possession and he has that in his locker, he is also very comfortable with the ball at his feet and a great carrier when he is playing confident. Most of his bad passes were due to the rubbish ahead of him being shy of the ball or running out of options cause we had a crap system.Scoham said:

Was shocked to read you saying that Braziliance. Thought Famewo's passing was one of the most painful things about last season. His long balls frequently went straight out of play.
He was decent at carrying it forwards at times and he has the 'raw goods' to be a Championship defender, but I'm glad we didn't sign him to play in this system, although I don't think he wanted to stay anyway.7 -
To be honest i'm pretty confident Famewo will be playing in the championship before Lavelle, only his passing was frutrasting i still think he's decent and a good deal at 50k.
Jury out on Lavelle so far, unconvinced11 -
That wasn’t the choice though. None of them are ball playing defenders and the other two were under contract when Garner arrived - why add a third?Braziliance said:

I lost count of the number of times he hoofed the ball off the pitch or up the pitch to no one. It’s not entirely down to him as to pass the ball well you need good movement around you, but passing is a clear weaknesses of his.6 -
I know I said I wouldn’t post but he had a 70% pass accuracy in 2020-21 with an average of just under 4 long ball attempts in those 20 or so games he played for us, suggests to me he certainly can pass it about. Lavelle on the other hand, in a full season of league 2 with Morecambe had something like 53%, doesn’t strike me as a Garner type centre back.I ain’t saying he is the answer to our problems at all, but for 50k they’ve done extremely well as he has genuine potential. On the flip side Innis is a crock and Lavelle seems like a league 1/2 slogger to me.Anywho sorry to spam, back to the rumours

To my knowledge lavelle has had no howlers though, he’s hardly been our biggest issue this past year.4

Home Grown doesnt mean players that have solely come through your own Academy.Southbank said:
Will we have 8 home grown players, not including Goalkeepers?swordfish 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 too4 -

Lavelle had 75% pass accuracy last season. Eoghan O'Connell had 77%. Jason Pearce 76%. Someone like Woolfenden at Ipswich had 82%.
70% seems quite bad in comparison.5 -

He seems to have a great attitude and determination - and perhaps a warrior and future skipper.
There's just one thing I'm not sure about though ..... he's a little slow with his feet, very much moves and runs like Jason Pearce.
Other than that, he comes across as well capable at this level.

Not rating Famewo as a CB for team playing a possession style doesn't necessarily mean Lavelle and Inniss are rated higher or more suitable.Braziliance said:I know I said I wouldn’t post but he had a 70% pass accuracy in 2020-21 with an average of just under 4 long ball attempts in those 20 or so games he played for us, suggests to me he certainly can pass it about.

Of the three I'd agree he's more likely to make it in the Championship. Inniss won't stay fit and I agree on Lavelle's limitations.
What I disagree with is that we should have signed Famewo. I think we can find CBs more suited to Garner's style, McConnell being one with hopefully another coming in later this window, or perhaps emerging from the academy.
I also feel Famewo will benefit from the fresh start. Hopefully we will too, though that's more about the signings we make rather than failing to bring Famewo back.5 -

CB is a position where you really need a bit of consistency to develop a proper pairing. O'Connell is presumably nailed down for one of the positions so I'd like to see Garner settled on a first choice set up (be that with Lavelle or another) and give it some game time to work out any nerves and ricketts before the season starts.1
