JJ set to miss start of Owls' season

I was against giving him another contract in the first place. At his age we can't expect much more than we've already had which is glimpses of brilliance but more often than not - total frustration! Let's just focus on the positives, Sedgwick on the wing for Satruday!

THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE NEED A WINGER IN....AND QUICK!!!!

massive blow he has looked quality in pre season now down to one winger this is ridiculous get roberts signed now ! Also i see lee cook has'nt been allocated a squad number at qpr with a punt ?

I'd heard this was a rumour and was hoping it wouldn't be true our attacking options are very short for the new season, feeling very worried about the start of the season.. Having said all this I fully expect Wednesday to turn around and win 3-0 with sedge morrisson and dj grabbing the goals , how that wouldn't be a surprise

It's been clear we have no plan B for weeks in the attack department and the board and management only have themselves to blame!

Wouldnt be at all suprised if JJ is gone by the end of August, could never see his petulance washing with GM. Its a crying shame, since Brunt left he is the only reason to get out of your seat.

I agree waddle1993 - things have not been the same since Brunt left. His crossing was a major asset.

Sorry, did you say something SGoodwin?!? lol. Short and to the point, agree wholeheartedly....

Totally agree with SGoodwin. Surely Mandy is not going to tie Megson's hands as every manager has had his hands tied (par Irvine's January spending-spree) since 2001? These are the three we want, need and can get if we pay these fees. Mandy, use some fo the £4-5million season ticket revenue to land these three players on 3yr deals. If not, we're going to be having the same debates this time next year.

How can it be Megson's fault SheffWed93, how many manager's do you know shell out their own money to buy player's, get off his back for god sake, the season has'nt begun yet, if you want to blame somebody blame the man at the top, he's the one that's gone back on his word.

Devon Owl, I think Mandaric has been at fault for a number of the PR quotes. He's gone decidely quiet of late - in all areas!

When did I ever mention a manager spending there own money? It is there fault because we clearly dont have a team ready for the season, The season finished in May so he's had 3 months to prepare a side for August and he's moaning about someone saying he's injured. His job is to have a team capable to bring in players that can win us promotion and he has brough in good players but don't get me wrong. but he is complaining about JJ but hes only bothered because thats our only real attacking option which is sad to say. He hasn't prepared a side so therefore he'll take the blame.

You said it was Megson fault SheffWed93 that we haven't back-up, Mandaric has to give him money first, so explain how on earth it can be his fault.

I feel there is far more going on behind the scene than we know. Our club has been use and abused for well over a decade and to think all will be rosy inside 1 year is optimistic at best. I like many fans would like to see us sign the sort of players that could make us great again but I'm glad to see we are no longer being taken for fools in the transfer Market. If this has to be a season of progress then let's see it done without jeopardising the next 5 years. Players will come soon enough when they realise this is a well run club not just one for a fast buck! If we are a tight unit and in the hunt then January could be a different story. Good luck to M & M let's get behind them.

Who said anything about sacking the manager or chairman?!? I thought we were discussing the issue around lack of attacking or creative players currently at S6. I will support my club through thick and thin (and have done since the early eighties). Just because I feel we need more players in doesn't mean I'm a boo boy. My concern is that we could really do with a good start to the season and with limited numbers this could be difficult. At the end of last season both GM & MM went on record as saying they will bring in at least 7-9 players to improve the squad. This has not happened and means pre-season was not utilised to the maximum to build a strong team ethos. With all the hype (created by GM & MM) at the end of the season, I think all fans were expecting great things... Is that our fault? NO. So don't come on here saying that we are whingers or that we are snakes. We're just loyal fans whom feel fustrated at our beloved club and need to vent our issues. Come Saturday, we'll be stood on the terrace singing our hearts out to WHOEVER is on the pitch in a blue and white shirt... rant well and truely over... WTID UTO

Yeh, I think I got out of bed on the wrong side this morning... sorry! Life's to short aye!! WTID UTO

On top of that I don't think ANYONE should be mentioning sacking the manager or getting on the chairmans back. Let's not forget where we could have been without MM. My only worry right now is we have gone from being a squad of average players to what appears a think squad of better quality players without much depth. It's obvious to everyone and I'm sure that behind the scenes the club is working feverishly to put it right. I can't knock them for any of the transfers made so far this season and the departures have been pretty much the ones that I would have let go. Even the likes of JOC who we kept I think was good business because he won't be first choice with Semedo there but is vital should something happen to him. Put it this way, would you rather replace Semedo with JOC or Nyoni? Onwards and upwards (if a little slower than a lot of us would have liked!)

Agree with Waddle1993,JJ is the only player with have to get you out of your seat. Say what you will about him but he is the only attacking threat we have.We have no Plan B.Like the majority of you I am very frustrated with no attacking signings but very happy with the defence. Just hope that Morrison & Madine dont get injured.

just a rumour but heard mellor and le fondre will sign
