If signing a goalkeeper of Peter Shilton's rare qualities were a real option, I would of course be in favour of throwing money at him. But it isn't, because we're a Championship team. My point is that you don't need to spend big bucks on a goalkeeper in this league. I have spent ages on my calculator this morning working out how much John Ruddy (Wolves), Neil Etheridge (Cardiff) and Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham) cost their teams in transfer fees, and anyone wants to take a guess, you can, and the answer is below the fold: Spoiler Cumulatively, they cost zero pounds in transfer fees. Ruddy and Etheridge were free transfers, and Bettinelli came from Fulham's youth team. EDIT: Getting back to the topic, there may be good reasons not to sign Josh Onomah again, but because we ought to spend lots of money on goalkeepers instead probably isn't one of them. I doubt Spurs would want him to come back to us to be honest, he was only ever a first team regular when Jack was out.

Pretty sure he never said that - larry Lloyd and kenny burns were amongst several who he signed at forest before Shilts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilts was his best signing at forest but nowhere near his first -he signed Shilton 2 years after cloughie took the forest Job . As for Onamah - I expected big things from him and he was a disappointment far too often - may have the ability but attitude is not there for me Edited May 28, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing Terry will be the far more difficult fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 He needs to find his game. Bruce didn't help him at all by playing him in 4 different positions. If he wants to have even a career in the championship, he needs to perfect one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Quote Furious boss Jos Luhukay criticised Owls midfielder Josh Onomah's performance after their 2-1 away defeat to Swansea City. In the absence of Barry Bannan, who is unavailable for selection for two matches after accruing 10 yellow cards, Onomah was handed his first start in just over a month. But the Tottenham Hotspur's loanee, one of just three signings made by Luhukay since he took over the Wednesday reigns last January, was taken off at half-time and replaced by Marco Matias. Luhukay told The Star: "He was not good enough. He brought nothing on the ball. "He lost three, four, five balls right at the beginning (of the game). That is the reason why he came off and we changed it. "Honestly, he had no influence on the game." https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/angry-jos-luhukay-blasts-sheffield-wednesday-midfielder-after-swansea-city-defeat-1-9495474/amp?__twitter_impression=true Going well then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
