Transfer targets

Sheffield Wednesday agree $11.4M for Wilson Odobert

The clubs have shaken hands with Tottenham; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Sheffield Wednesday sign Rayan, one for the future

Rayan is 20, and Sheffield Wednesday have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad

Louie Barry stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Louie Barry and Sheffield Wednesday agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Sheffield Wednesday make their move for Enso González

$380.0K on the table at Wolverhampton. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

An offer of $330.0K for Darko Gyabi

Sheffield Wednesday have gone to Hull City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

A falling-out at Sheffield Wednesday

Louie Barry and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Sheffield Wednesday promote Matthew Allen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Matthew Allen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Sheffield Wednesday promote Samuel Walker from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Samuel Walker has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Stephen Bennett steps up from the Sheffield Wednesday academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stephen Bennett has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief

  • Squad Rayan falls out with a teammate over standards
  • Squad No place for Rayan in the new shape
  • Looking ahead Louie Barry faces his old club
