JJ to be offered new Owls deal

Ther are things in his game you CAN improve - the end product. Some kind of test is in order, Gary - JJ crossing to a striker's head, hitting shots on target, that kinda thing.

waste of a shirt! to inconsistent in my opinion? very rarely finishes a game...away performances arent what they should be...how does that warrant a contract extension? would rather have someone who can finish games, plays 100% home and away, can cross, actually hit the target consistently etc etc, you know, the things professional footballers should be doing! I'm a 30 year old winger, probably wouldn't be able to finish a game becasue i'd be knackered and 1 shot out of 100 would fly in all the time! If I turn up at Hillsbrough does that mean ill get a contract!! Brighton went up as quick as they did and as well as they did because they had quality in EVERY position! If you have that, there's no need for players to carry other players! If players aren't carrying other players it means they're concentrating on their job and their job alone so focusing 100% on the task in hand! So, to sum up, no thanks!

I'm with you Owls That, he is class on his day (or 20 min spells) but these are too infrequent and it's pointless if he's not going to play the majority of the away games where you need everyone to dig in. Potter will be given a new contract now to come on and replace JJ on the wing when he's knackered :)

I agree with what has been said above we need class in every position if we want to get on, improve and win eventual promotion. I think an extension is in order however for JJ because of what he can do not focussing on the negatives... I see him as the short spell player next season. If you need to change the game in the second half of a match and strike fear in to the team you are playing then a fresh legged JJ coming off the bench is something a lot of clubs in our leauge would kill for. That being said I don't think most clubs would pay for such a Luxury, that is what JJ represents but a lot of truly inspirational and addored players have been the same way over the years. 20 minutes is enough for JJ to completely change a game, how many players have we had at the club who have been the same way but moved onto bigger, brighter and better things?! How many other players do we have on the books at the moment that can "on their day" effect a game as much?! Yes he's frustrating but if he can stay fit, and improve in a few key areas he's better than what we could afford to buy even with MM's money. Pace, intelligence, finishing, pin point crosses and running at speed with the ball past people is what every club wants on the wing but how many haven't found anyone close?? There is always compromises to be made. WTID

Spot on fed-up and 4eva. If he's on squad wages and is being used as a 20min, great. But I just don't see him as a starter. Great to watch when he's on, but that inconsistency hasn't changed in the past three years, and I don't see it changing now... although I'd like to be proven wrong! Who are the better wingers out there that'll be in the open market this summer?

Offer him a week-by-week contract and after every game the fans get to choose how much he gets paid for that performance. Anything else then no thanks. We cant afford any slip ups next year.

prob worth another year but he'll never change, will still be as frustrating as ever next season going from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again, assuming he accepts any new contract offered, he may decline and leave if the terms are reduced!

I think JJ scares defenders because hes unpredictable but I think thats because most of the time he doesn't even know what hes doing. I am just not a fan of his at all. He runs fast but has no control or end product. I think he is massively overrated because every now and again something he does comes off. He has no consistency at all and I would chose a reliable bod with less intended skill than him any day of the week. So far, he can't even be consistent in league 1. I'd keep him in this league, if the wages are low, but he would more as cover or bring him on from time to time in the hope he can produce something lucky. Otherwise, I'd happily see him go because I think it says it all about where this club is now that we hold a player like him up as some kind of major talent.
