Those two would get a place in our current squad on today's performance but other than that they appear to have spent a shitload on overpaid journeymen.
Maybe they'll now wake up and go on to get promotion but they were remarkably poor today.
Genuinely don't understand how people can get paid so much and put in so little.
As for us, this league isn't that good. McCabe talked about the Premier League in five years but you never get the luxury of choosing.
There are real opportunities for the taking this season. Somebody's going to take them...
 



The only way they'll get promotion is by sacking Carluless but Chansiri's blown all the potential payoff money on marketing a fake clothing line/energy drink. And the nonexistent taxi firm.
 
Bannan huffed and puffed but actually produced not a lot - thought he was there best player though, seemed to fill the Duffy role for them. Although Duff actually changed the game when he came on unlike the Scottish midget
 
I was with the matchday sponsor and selected Bannan as MOTM. He was at the centre of everything they did good (for that 10 minute spell after first half).

Good matchup with Lee/Bannan vs Coutts/Fleck today. The quality of these players made for a good game of football.

Bannan ? as a mascot maybe. Would take Hooper and that's it.

Smart finish from Hooper but Jake gave it to him on a plate.
I noticed Bannan and Joao when he came on made a difference but other than that, very little.
May well still be proven wrong but they seem to have acquired a lot of players on big money who don't care enough.
 
Hooper is a class act imo. Reminds me of ched in his 30 odd goal season. He’d score a shit ton of goals for us.

Like the look of joao too - he could add something for us in an attacking sense I feel.

No one else really stood out. Their new 4m quid defender looked much worse than one we picked up from league 2 for free!
 
That was Joao's first match of the season for them and he did more in a few minutes than most of the Wednesday squad did all game.

Hooper is quality and the only player of theirs I would take at the moment. He only needed one chance and he buried it. That isn't the first time he has done that for them this season.

Wilder and Knill would improve any of their players, so a currently so-so wendy player would be a revelation if he played for us. As it stands, Carlos is clueless. Seems he never once watched the Blades in the run up to yesterday's game, leaving it up to the players to work out their own tactics.

To refer to yesterday's game as embarrassing and humiliating is an understatement. We revealed wendy for what they are, they flatter to deceive, from the manager down to the least of their woeful lot, they simply are shameful.
 



I'd take hooper and Hutchinson. The rest are toss.
Although think Rhodes would score bucket loads in our team
 
I thought Rhodes looked a real threat when he came on.....

LOL, sorry, couldn't keep a straight face there.

I usually pay attention to things, and I wasn't pissed, but I honestly never noticed he was on the pitch. And apparently he was on for about 25 minutes.

So I think it's fair to say it was just a typical Jordan Rhodes performance - an invisible one.
 
Did Rhodes even touch the ball when he came on?
Hooper's a good finisher and Joao was a threat when he came on. Thought Bannan was ok and Lee is a good player but Fleck and Coutts did very well against them. However their whole defence were awful, in particular the two CB's. I'd never heard of Van Aken, £4m? Do me a favour!

Rhodes had three touches - all headers from long balls that amounted to nothing. It's easy to criticise Rhodes himself, but what is he supposed to do when the only service he gets is three hopeful punts in 25 minutes? £10m spent, and then to use him like that is just bizarre. I'm glad we've got a manager who knows how to play to people's strengths. If I was a decent Championship striker in the January transfer window choosing between United or Wednesday, I know which I'd go for.

I didn't even bloody know he played until I just read your post! Absolutely no exaggeration on my part either, I've just spent like 10 mins on Google to see if you were actually right!
 
Thought Bannan was decidedly average. One or two Hollywood passes, a near miss from a volley but fuck all else.

Joao took his goal really Well, a terrific finish but otherwise I didn't see a lot bar pace.

Hooper is their best player, by a mile. The only one who would get in our squad imo.
Westwood is good as well but starting to look a bit flaky of late, by all accounts.

Surreal... I thought Ricky was on the wind up. Did Sky show him coming onto the pitch? Did the commentary say his name?

Without proof, it didn't happen!

I have spent many months in the wilderness living off of grubs and moss to find this creature known to natives as the fabled "Rhodes" and obtain concrete evidence of his existence in Wednesday's attack first hand.

After painstaking research and tracking in well documented sighting spots I can be pleased to announce that have finally obtained a snapshot of him in his natural offside position just off of the coast of the Leppings Lane End.

Behold! The missing link between pig and man! I give you the Alwayschokeapenaltythicus Oinka!sketch-1506335218698.png
 
Bannan would be a nice option to rotate on the bench with Lundstram and help out in the U23's.

I didn`t realise he played until I checked the match stats afterwards either. Apparently he came on right after Duffy scored.

In mitigation pretty much anything could have happened after Duffy scored and I wouldn't`t have noticed...
