I think the deals are there to be done now. Its just a case of yes or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo maybe. He was actually good under Bruce. I think there's less than zero chance of Bruce taking Hogan off our hands though. he clearly didn't rate him while he was here so I don't see any reason why he'd want him at Sheff Wed.

briny_ear Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Not long now for Deano to get in all these new players he's been promising us. Getting nervous. Edited January 28, 2019 by briny_ear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this day and age players get recommended by scouts, I don't think the manager necessarily knows that much about the players before they arrive. You'd hope given the amount of money we spent on him that bruce would have known how to fit Hogan into his side, but given how little he used him and how poor he is, it seems like a player he might not have had that much input into signing except for giving his approval. I'd be very surprised if he signed him again having seen how crap he is (or at least was for Bruce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That translates to we haven't made an approach for Fuchs at all. Good. In Sky Sports' alternate universe Grealish is at Spurs, Tammy is at Wolves and Henry is our manager, if he hasn't already been sacked.

Villan4Life Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Central defender Matty Clarke at Portsmouth with 5mil price tag which has put stoke off. Good player hope we been looking at likes of him and hope looking at Tom Bayliss of Coventry. Players like this can only improve. Some cracking young players at charlton and crewe too.

I'd be very surprised if he signed him again having seen how crap he is (or at least was for Bruce) Bruce was quoted as having watched him at Rochdale and regretted not buying him then. Definitely a Bruce signing. Hogan was then quoted as saying that Bruce hung him out to dry playing him in a system that he wasn’t suited to. I’d therefore be very surprised to see Hogan wanting to play for Bruce again. Not going to happen. Sorry don’t know how to quote articles yet but they’re easily accessible.
