Nuhiu serves a short term purpose whereas May has been pushed out.

Think May will find a club eventually where he can score 15 goals at this level.

MS: you're spot on imo.
Serious question: If we have Jaoa, a marquee new striker, Foresteri, Lavery and Bus (? why do we need him?), do we need to hang on to nuhiu?

IMO, when we bring in a marquee signing, he will be first choice, Forestieri second, Joao third & Nuhiu 4th, Bus 5th.

We will either play one or two strikers so Bus will get no action & Nuhiu little action. We need to use Joao as an impact player initially but increase his game time so that he is good enough to start next season.

Lavery looks like he will be leaving.

Bus is clearly out of favour and will probably leave as well.

That only leaves Nuhiu, Forrestieri, Joao and one new player. This means all four can be involved in the match day squad.

.....although he only involved three last Saturday, leaving out Bus, May & Lavery.

[consilio]

Because Bus, May and Lavery are clearly not in his plans.

Vydra has gone to Reading.

Hooper remains our number one target in my opinion.

Great source of info there MS. I'll read thoroughly later having just woken up my brain can't handle it.
One thing that does concern me is this paragraph or two.

FFP encourages clubs to invest in youth development, which is an area of focus for Wednesday, whose academy was granted Category Two status under the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP). However, there is a price to pay with a “considerable” increase in investment in the academy taking the costs above £1 million.

The concern with EPPP is that the changes in the contractual position of players under 16 might produce a situation where clubs such as Wednesday become feeder clubs, “ultimately subsidising the costs of youth development for those able to attract the best available talent without paying the true value to the club that worked so hard developing the player.”

We need to grow in stature and hold on to our youth prospects. This just smacks further of Corporate raiding Business tactics creeping in to football and I effing loathe it.

Mars/Nestle buying raiding and robbing little sweet shops and makers til they're gone... Ring any bells?

Furthermore, whom is introducing these rules and policies that blatantly have a bias toward the top clubs in the Prem? And if nothing is done about it now it will only get worse. The smaller clubs need to stand together against this bullshit being force fed to those at the bottom from those at the top.

[madsteve]

Don't think Nuhiu is in his plans long term but CC sees him as useful in the short term whereas he sees nothing in Bus, May & Lavery.

We are still hoping for Hooper with Ulloa & Kermogant as back up options.

Unless of course..... Jordan Rhodes.

While I agree with you, you either dance to the music or you don't dance.
