Chris. 0 Posted May 4, 2010 I would love to have Tommy Spurr here. Several times ive seen him play, and he''s never failed to impress! He also has a bigger throw than Rose ;) (Sheffield Wednesday) David Wright, I''ve see that he has stated that he would love to join us... I cant remeber seeing much of him when he was on loan here or when he played for scum. Any good? Thoughts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bump 0 Posted May 4, 2010 Both of them! I suggested them both in a thread yesterday.If for some reason we could only sign one though I''d go for Tommy Spurr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted May 4, 2010 Strangely I don''t recall too much wailing and gnashing of teeth when Wright left after his loan spell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambo 0 Posted May 4, 2010 Considering ones a RB & the other LB & IMO we could do with strenghtening each, i''d go both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 853 Posted May 5, 2010 Grounds, yes, yes and yes again! Give spillane his due at right back and leave the defence be, secure forster and use any money elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewBoy 0 Posted May 5, 2010 I have been saying Tommy Spurr too, absolutely peach player, seen him play live several times - quality every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 300 Posted May 5, 2010 Agree regarding Jonathan Grounds, looked good when he was on loan and is versatile. Also looked as if he was actually enjoying playing for us and was glad to be here...unlike some!Noticed this morning that Preston have released Chris Sedgewick and Richard Chaplow, bith decent players and more than capable at CCC level, Chaplow, especially is a good midfielder, creative, a real passer of the ball, he was very highly rated a while ago, so has perhaps "lost hos way" at Deepdale? Anyway......the point is, are either of those, Grounds, Wright or Spurr "hungry" enough? That looks like Lamberts defining factor, and, if they are just seasoned pro''s looking for another move, another couple of years somewhere, and another signing on fee, well, let someone else have the buggers!

TheNewBoy 0 Posted May 5, 2010 Well I would hope that Tommy Spurr would be hungry enough, 165 league appearances already at the age of 22 suggests so doesn''t it? He also has 3 years remaining on his contract, so "another couple of years somewhere" isn''t really applicable!As for Sedgwick, no thanks! Preston were proved 100% correct the last time they decided a right winger wasn''t good enough for them..... that being Simon Whaley of course... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superflash 0 Posted May 5, 2010 I''ve not seen enough of Spurr to judge, though my Sheffield United supporting chum begrudgingly thinks he''s ace. So was he the shining light in Wednesday''s relegated side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted May 6, 2010 Yesterday''s EADT said that both Wright and Jonathan Stead were set to leave in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway I reckon Stoke would let us have him on loan for a season and after that Spillane could step up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted May 6, 2010 I know a guy who is a Wednesday fan, goes to watch them home and away.His verdict throughout the season on Tommy Spurr has been that he''s a total liability for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sit near two people who think that Hoolohan is a complete liability for us, it certainly doesn''t mean that he is.

king canary 8,946 Posted May 7, 2010 Chaplow would be great- we have central midfielders that can graft but not any that can dictate play from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Well the other day I was speaking to this chap, we were talking football. I just asked him what he thought of some of the Wednesday players and he commented that he thought Spurr had been poor for them this season.Seeing as we''re talking about Tommy Spurr in this thread I didn''t think it was unreasonable to mention it.Or have you just got your back up because you were singing his praises in an earlier post and I''ve put forward a view that goes against it?Just because you think Spurr is a "peach" of a player doesn''t mean he is, just the same way that he may not be as bad as my Wednesday supporting mate thinks he is.
