Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
According to this:
http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footb...vals-1-8636314
The Lewis McGugan of a few years ago would have been a very good signing. Not sure now.

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
I rated him when he was with Forest & Watford although I didn't realise how much his career has nose-dived since he's been with Sheffield Wednesday. Still only 28 & chips in with goals from midfield, could turn out to be a decent addition to the squad if it happens

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Perhaps we're getting a little desperate as we are running out of time?
Hopefully our Neil can work his magic and see something that can add some value to our squad.
Yes he is probably past his best but he was hot property not long ago and knew where the goals were.
If anyone can squeeze the best out of him it's Warnock, his fitness will be key though.

We may be desperate with fees/wages but time is on our side. The window ends 31st August.

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Some interesting views from this Wednesday Forum which confirms what some of us might expect. A problematic player. Perhaps Neil can knock him into shape ?

Running out of time? It's only the beginning of July! About 8 weeks left yet...

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Transfer window only opened 6 days ago.

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Hopefully Warnock can do a Dave Jones and get the best out of this maverick player.

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Maybe NW can do a Tarabt with him?

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
My sources tell me he's no relation to Barry McGuigan.

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
For all we know his agent might have asked for the trial.With a year to go on his contract Wed must be keen to get rid.If he turns up a fat fecker he'll have no chance.

Did you sign anyone decent last season? Your heart isn't in it, is it? You've turned your back on your team and now you are turning your back on being a WUM.

So, how come we paid a million plus for Danny Ward in June?

Give the lad credit. Despite consistently making a prize tit of himself on here, season after season, he keeps on coming back for more. He's like an annoying little fly buzzing around a lions arse, getting swatted away by its tail.

You'd have thought that, given the number of years he's been posting on here (minus the odd hiatus when we beat them, when they got relegated etc) he'd have matured by now, but he's still no more than a kid.

Agree, he's comedy gold.

I see that Bristol City are quoted today as being interested in Aaron Pierre (who ?) the Wycombe Wanderers centre half on a free transfer. Looks like Lee Johnson is already preparing for life in Division One in 2018/2019. Hardly an inspiring signing is it and makes your above comments look even more stupid. Lewis Mcgugan is a quality, experienced, championship player.

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Can't do links but just been reading a thread on Owlstalk forum. Was expecting the usual slagging him off type posts but quite suprised that quite a few on there seem to think NW is the sort of manager to get the best out of him.
There are a few that seem quite bitter that we won't sell Morrison to them.:hehe:

So, someone at the BBC was just making up all of those details about transfers completed in June? June 30th is the last day of most contracts, so, technically, deals like the ones we've done for Mendez-Laing, Etheridge and Camp would go through on 1 July because that's the date when they become City employees, but we paid a fee for Ward, he was here signing a contract well before the end of June and the signing was completed well before you say the transfer window opened - what would be the point of a deal like that being kept waiting for ten days or so?
Anyway, even if you are right, you are now admitting that we've had almost two months already to complete transfers which, bizarrely, could not be confirmed until last Saturday - so, having been beaten to the signature of Hayes and McKay, we're now in the position where we're looking at a trialist who barely kicked a ball last season . I can understand why McAdder suggested we were getting a bit desperate and he certainly didn't deserve to be called a berk.

I think that's a reasonable summing of the situation, except I'd have expected NW and team to have had a list of targets they'd looked at, and to be working their way down the list if their top targets weren't achieved. I'd be very surprised if any of the signings had not been looked at long and hard already, it just doesn't strike me as the way NW works.

Can't believe you gave Crosey the time of day to even reply

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
NW hasn't been great with every budget player he's ever had. He's done well with a few of our underperforming players such as Gunnarson and Zahore but he hasn't got the best out of everyone.
I don't see that shit player + NW = good player

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
Warnock is good getting the best out of players whose careers are waning...

Re: Lewis McGugan - on trial with Cardiff
McGugan "unlikely" to sign for us according to this (mind you, the writer has him still at Forest at one point) - it also says we have a "clutch" of mostly foreign trialists at the club at present.

He's had 3 clubs in 11 seasons. You've just signed an Italian on a freebie who is on club number 7 dipstick.

Well, your lot are the experts at flair. Or is that flare?
