Rhoys Wiggins about to sign from Charlton?
Could be a great signing if he can stay fit. Was a revelation at left back a few seasons ago, but has suffered several breakages. This is a gamble, but if it pays off, it would be a steal at £750K.
Worth a punt! ( based on inside info from a Charlton mate )

I hope you're right Sleaford, but I have my concerns. A player who is injury-prone, can't get in the Charlton team and costing £750,000. Is this value for money, particularly when compared to the signings of Lees and Westwood last year? We might as well have kept Buxton and Mattock for that money.

Sometimes it's not that a player is not good enough, it's just that his face doesn't fit!
Two classic examples of where Wednesday have benefitted in this way is McGugan and Sheridan - with no doubt many more throughout the game.
I agree that there is a big question mark over his ability to stay fit. His problem has also been the emergence of a younger exciting player ( forgot his name - is it Fox? ). Either way , Rhoys has been unable to get his place back - sounds like the Buxton / Palmer situation . Difference is that he is still only 27 , whereas Buxton is into his early 30's . That's why it could still be a good gamble. Time will tell if he gets onboard.

McGugan has a long, long way to go before being mentioned in the same sentence as Shez.

In the context it was written in where's the problem, when Shez came to Wednesday he was a decent midfielder just like Gugs. I can't see anyone comparing them as Wednesday legends?

Och, it was just a light hearted comment.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the light hearted from the other shhhtuff on here :-)

Lets hope McGugan turns out to have the same impact and the team matches the Shez side.

We have signed some good players and have some already who knows we could have a similar team as when we had woods, waddle,walker , mighty hirsty ,shez, not to mention others. or we could end up with more stefanovic and kovecivic!
