George Byers

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

Big rumour at Sheff Wed that we are in for this midfielder. He would be a MASSIVE signing for us and is yet another indication that Kenny may be on his way. Cant be arsed linking it but its on the Wednesday til I die podcast and also Owls Talk forum. I would be really pleased if we got him because he is better than league 1 quality.

 

[65 & Counting]

At least he is proven at league 1 level.

 

[todayistheday]

be a good signing for us.

 

[Critchknows]

I'll be honest, don't know anything about him. All I know about Wednesday really is Bannan made them tick.

 

[seasidepaddle]

On the face of it would be a great move.

 

[NewburyOne]

The only downside is that he's currently serving a suspension after being sent off at Dumpdale on 1st January. He served the 1st of which at the weekend but still has 2 more to go.

 

[JJpool]

Let's hope we don't get Byers remorse.

 

[TommyHutch]

Massive fans saying he’s stagnated this season and is injury prone. If we could keep him fit would be a decent signing.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Sounds like he would be a decent signing so I am sure some other club will beat us to it.

 

[JJpool]

Depends if and when he signed. If it was tomorrow then after the weekend he'd be available.

Thanks for your insightful input... and honest, too...

 

[cside]

If their forum is as knowledgeable as this one, it's a done deal.

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

On the whole the Wendies fans seem to like him and he was very good last season..fingers crossed

 

[Terminallytangerine]

Well if he is a crap midfielder we could always keep a cow in him.

 

[NewburyOne]

Unsure what the deal is BST cup games and when the cut off is? All hypothetical but worst case it would be Exter and Forest if signed this week.

It's just a rumour so far so not much point figuring it out.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Be a good signing for us, exactly what we need and better than Moxon.

 

[fcblackpool]

Anyone else think this thread was going to be a moan about Asda's fashion range?

 

[FLATBACKFOR]

Might replace Virtue yet, you never know.

I wouldn't know I shop in Waitrose!!

 

[fcblackpool]

I always thought that was a love request not a shop.

Definitely wouldn’t be able to play against Forest , he would have to have been registered in time for the original game . That’s how Barnsley got slung out of the FA cup !

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

As long as they don't throw Reece James in as part of the deal.

 

[Kyle Seasider]

I'd be made up with this if it happens. He would walk into our MF with Dougall now playing right now.

 

[HereLiesJeff]

Might replace Virtue yet, you never know.

There were a lot of rumours about Virtue in the summer going elsewhere

 

[voyeur]

Well if he is a crap midfielder we could always keep a cow in him.

Only if he agreed to swap the e and the r round.

 

[voyeur]

As long as they don't throw Reece James in as part of the deal.

Apparently Wednesday gave us 400k for James, according to Soccerbase.

It truly is a massive club.

 

[Seasider_Matt]

139 career games by 27 years old, it's a no from me...

Not sure why you would judge him on career stats. You judge by his recent record and that is pretty decent in League One. At the same time, that is why we won’t sign him and we will sign Charlie Kirk instead.

Word on the grapevine is Kirk is potentially off to Tranmere. He might be out of our reach

Bookmarked for stupidity

 

[Toastrack]

FWIW, it's reported today that we're set to sign this lad imminently.
He's got a goal every 5 games for the Massive, mostly in League One - decent return for a midfielder.

[tangerine_neil]

Would be a better option than Moxon or Pond Guy, if we can this over the line

 

[Joey_Rex]

Would be a quality signing if we can get it done

 

[Sooty59]

Never heard of him but if he's any good I hope it comes off.

You have got to trust reporting which has the window slams shut in there.

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Would be a like for like replacement of KD, both have similar numbers in League 1, would be very good business and a sign of ambition.

A "going for it" signing some may say.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

If this happens then we will be looking good for next season, if not this.

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

Never heard of him but if he's any good I hope it comes off.

Really?

 

[SeasideTizz]

Would be a cracking signing
Believe it when it’s announced.

 

[Sooty59]

Really?

Yeah I’ve never heard of him should I have

 

[Wizaard]

I did say we were in for him last week

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

Yeah I’ve never heard of him should I have

Well yeah I would have thought most football fans would have heard of him

 

[BpoolFred34]

Like him even more now I found out he got a straight red against Preston few weeks back

 

[Wizaard]

That explains why he's not played in the last three games. The article I saw was implying it meant he was moving.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Well I’ve actually already heard of him, without having to look him up on Wiki, which is a plus.

 

[Kyle Seasider]

I'd already heard of him, so there's no chance we get him. When was the last time we got a player that most of us had heard of before coming here?

 

[mropinion]

Kyle Joseph, Jordan Rhodes and Dembele off the top of my head

 

[mropinion]

Oh and Ollie Norburn

 

[hertfordseasider]

We're more likely to sign no one and lose Gabriel and Lyons.
