WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 18 minutes ago, The Real Marc said: Poor move - not based on league but based on the club. Wednesday aren't a stable club for his development. Absentee ownership, shoddy admin, missed wages, managerial merry-go-round, mixed bag of largely overpaid players staying for the wages they can't get elsewhere while wanting out. Fans with unrealistic expectations of walking the league. Regardless of where they end up in the table this year - this is a club on its way down, not its way up. Not an ideal place for development. Interesting article touching on all that. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/jul/31/darren-moore-immersed-in-reviving-sheffield-wednesday-after-chaotic-relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be understated that he has risen fast and climbed a lot this past year. He really earned his way, and is on a crazy rise.

I'm fine with it if Wolves bring in a winger. But with rumors of Adama being sold, we are pretty thin. And Gibbs-White has not been good to this point.

He can't score, he's tricky and can dribble. He isn't fast though. He doesn't cross that well. But he looks like a really hot player and he'll be played. Until maybe sometime in a few months they figure out he is not that effective. Or else, wonder of wonders, he sorts things out and does help you. But as a wing.

How do you make a statement like that, who at Wolves told you they weren't huge on him?

So I completely forgot we got Trincao on loan. But even still... you've got Trincao and fucking Podence. Podence is not a Premier League winger... his consistency is so poor. If we keep Adama and Neto ends up coming back quicker than expected, we'll be fine. Neto is one of the best young players in the Premier League. Without his injury, I can almost guarantee he wouldn't be a Wolves player this year. We do have an option to buy Trincao, so we'll see. We brought Trincao in because he played so many years growing up with Neto. Edited August 3, 2021 by Hawkguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a strong chance Theo Corbeanu will be deployed on the right, with Andre Green making way." https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/sheffield-wednesday-predicted-team-charlton-21245076 Edited August 7, 2021 by nolando dyslexic nam, Floortom, Addona and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I actually watched most of the match…was absolutely atrocious quality. Charlton were probably the better side but that’s not saying much. sheffield’s front 3 were terrible - especially the wingers. I was surprised Corbeanu didn’t get at least a 10 minute run out but I guess he just joined the team. johnyb and JamboAl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's weird thing is they brought on Marvin Johnson, a left footed winger who they signed 3 days after Theo when I expected him to replace Andre Green. Johnson wasn't anything special but doesn't seem a good omen for Theo, but I hope/suspect he can force the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Expect he will get lots of pitch time if he has the right mind frame. Also expect they are treating him with kid gloves right now as he has been training most of the summer with Canada. He will gain and learn a lot this year if he is willing. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Wanted to mention watched most of this game , I get it he needs to be loaned out to get playing time , but wow the soccer I witness being played I felt I was in a time warp and back watching 1970’s English soccer. It’s too bad he couldn’t get loaned to a league where they actually try to play some soccer but better than nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isn't able to crack the lineup of a League One team, it seems like a stretch that his Premier League team would have a use for him in the lineup. Anyways, let's have some patience.

Floortom Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 It’s not like Sheffield was going to hand over the keys to their season to a guy who has never played professional football. Obviously he’s going to have some competition. He just needs to rise above it. The completion also isn’t the steepest if we’re being honest Corazon and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
