Wesley

[Chewbacca the Wookie]

What’s happened to the forgotten man.
Has to rank as one of the worst signings ever. I dread to think how much he’s being paid.

[bayernoatcake]

He’s utterly fucking abject and hopefully we will never see him in a Stoke shirt again.

[stiggerstackle]

Far from the worst signing, but must admit I’d completely forgotten about him 😂

Thankfully in the Summer we'll free up a few big wages it seems and give us room to manoeuvre there. Wesley and Campbell should be a big chunk of change in wages

Yes he is up there with Paul Stewart.

[lordb]

He's on an absolute fortune which is why he there was no transfer fee

[nonameface]

Neil wanted a target man, he got one.

But, one who had missed nearly 2 seasons through 2 bad injuries and since then had scored less than 1 in 10 in the spanish second division.

Really wouldn't suit Schumacher's style of football so fortunately he'll be just a one season flop.

Unlike Ennis who we have for 2 more seasons.

He's scored goals and was a gamble after such a bad injury. Not holding out for much to be fair

Let's see what happens with him after a Summer . Goalscorers in the Jan window aren't readily available , they aren't at the best of times.


Million on the other hand looks like a really good signing

Ennis obviously won't lead out line next season and neither will Campbell or Wesley who we're in a decent position to replace

[jimmygscfc1234]

Picking the right target man to make use of those Wesley and Campbell wages is arguably the toughest task we’ll face in the Summer amongst many.

Hopefully Dublin leads the recruitment and not Schumacher.

Really don’t think we needed to gamble on Ennis for a fee and a multi year contract.

Mmaee is much better and then we still need another striker.

[Goonie]

Saw a YouTube short the other day saying Harry After hasn't played professionally in a competitive match since 2022 and is on £40k a week - now that's an awful signing

Both could be gone I think but again it highlights that we seem to buy players and don't have a team set up for them. It's beyond strange

[crouchpotato1]

I heard yesterday that he’s been in Dubai warm weather training as he recovers from an injury.It would fit in with him not arriving for home games in the last month or so along with Daniel Johnson

[jesusmcmuffin]

Sene at Lausanne is a player would love us to sign

On a rumoured 6/7k a week. Really exciting player and ex Juve youth team player...yes I know HE was as well

Would be realistic with Wesley and Campbell leaving

Who is on low wages as such would be easy to shift if we don't want him

That difference is really important

Because of FFP we will have to have some cheap players in the squad

For those that don't work out they can moved on like Surridge was and like Johnson will be in the summer

For those that do like Bonham and Thompson such signings are really important, get those cheap ones right it gives you more scope to get the expensive ones like Burger, Manhoef and Wesley
obviously Wesley has been a failure but they were smart re the one year deal

Think Johnson has been told he's not part of the group anymore

Which makes his other complete no shows all the more frustrating

Low wages? You sure? He’ll be on 7-10k a week won’t he?

Which for a player of his quality is about 7-10k too much.

Who’s going to take Johnson? Like Ennis I just don’t see how we can get rid of either unless they follow their manager around….

That we paid money for Ennis too. Frightening. Schumacher can’t be allowed anywhere near the transfers.

[yellowsnowman]

What has happened to Daniel Johnson is he just injured? Or was there actually a problem with him and SS in training? And been dropped completely since? Tbf we havnt missed him was just curious.

Which is about £40k a week less than Wesley
£500k and £7-£10k a week is small beer

Johnson will drop down a league or go to Scotland if AN gets a job there, why? Because they can afford him providing we don't ask for a fee like we did in January

The tricky one is Pearson
imo he's not been fit since he's been here which has impacted how he's performed (some good games but not enough)
It's not daft to suggest he could get his head down and get fit and become a key player for us however it's also not daft to say both club and player want to part ways
He won't be on low wages as such again we asked for too much money for him in January despite interest
if we want rid we have to drop the price

He’s fucking wank and we should be extremely grateful we haven’t had the misfortune to watch him for a month or two?

I’m presuming he’s been told the above but in a far nicer manner 🤣

It’s not for a club with our finances. Good players should be on that sort of money. Not league one shite like Ennis.

Good Championship players are on double that money
He's on top end league 1 money

[callas12]

Wonder if the likes of Johnson & Wesley are on pay you as play type deals, that sometimes omits first teamers from the matchday set ups.

He’s on good money for a club whose finances are poor. We shouldn’t have third (at best) choice strikers on that sort of money that we paid a fee for.
