  • Adam Reach.

    Us and Watford looking to sign him on a free transfer this summer according to this.

    Good player at this level, but I notice he's spent a lot of time on the subs bench at Sheffield Wednesday this season;-

    Cardiff City and Watford are leading the chase to sign Sheffield Wednesday midfielder, Adam Reach, on a free transfer this summer, Football League World understand.

    decent player, good for a free.

    I wonder if we are looking at him as a left winger or a left wing back. I would guess the latter, but we need both.

      He's just a skilful Paterson. Can play anywhere on the pitch really.

          What’s his goal celebration like? Is it as good as Paterson’s?

            I would prefer specialists to jack's of all trades, look at the difference having a specialist Wing back has made in Perry ng

              He's always looked good to me. It may well juts be paper talk though. But we don't know how Bennett will come back from his injury or whether the club want to keep him. It'll probably be decided by the wage structure.

                Given what is looking like an increasingly certain relegation for Wednesday, I'd say Reach is the sort of player who would not drop down to League One with them even if he was under contract - there would be interest in him because he has shown throughout his career that he is better than the third tier. I'd say there are going to be considerably more clubs after him than just us and Watford if he isn't going to sign a contract with Wednesday and I think you might well be right about when you suggest our wage structure may not be able to accommodate him.

                  Paul, I was thinking more of the wage structure around Bennett. We obviously don't know how much he is on, but he has been with us for over 4 years and had PL wages at one point. So offloading Bennett and taking on Reach might actually help our budget. I know the club pays very well on wages, but that may have to change next season without the parachute payment, unless Mr tan digs even deeper in to his funds?

                    looking at Wednesday's squad there aren't many others I'd want here, and if reach is leaving on a free I can't see them getting too much for anyone else.

                      I'd want to give Bennett at least a one year deal following his injury, he'll have been here five years this summer and has been a good servant to the club - I'd also say he's the best we've had in his position this century. Also, he'll be thirty one soon in just over a fortnight, whereas Reach has only just turned twenty eight - I'd say that would mean a contract for Reach would cost more than one for Bennett.

                        Call me cold hearted, but I wouldn't want us to offer Bennett a new deal - money will be tight, and can we really afford to use a chunk of it on a player who won't be able to play half the next season?
                        We would sill need 2 left backs / left wing backs to cover the first half of the season, and then we'd be left with 3 for the run in - it just doesn't make any sense to me.

                        Bennett has been the best left back in a long long time, and we will struggle to replace him, but we need to be sensible

                          Giving Bennett a contract extension would be silly business in my opinion.

                              Barry Bannan is a good player, problem is he's 31
