Sheffield Wednesday boss debunks exits for arrivals theory as Owls look for new signings
There has been some discussion among the supporters that Sheffield Wednesday will only be able to add players
to their squad after they have freed up space—and some cash—by selling players, but manager Danny Röhl feels
that would be the wrong strategy this month. He believes that the Owls should not try to move players until they
have new recruits through the door.
Wednesday haven’t signed anybody to bolster their ranks in the January transfer window just yet despite being
three weeks into the window, but Röhl has spoken about how quickly things can change – citing Michael
Ihiekwe’s return to the starting XI after reports that he may be on his way out. Several other senior players have
not been used of late, but that doesn’t appear to mean that their time is up.
“We have to make a decision,” he told The Star last week. “It’s about ins and outs now, and I think with the new
situation with Shea we have to look what is best. We need to know what we can do in the market, you see with
the centre backs that now Icky is now important – you never know what happens.
“I believe it’s more important to find out what we can bring in, to make good decisions for the players, club, and
team structure. I think this is the right way rather than moving them out, loaning them out, when it’s unclear
what we can get in. So it’s about what we can do in the market, then make decisions to help the group.” “We
have to be online off the pitch for the next 14 days, be ready, prepared, and make good decisions together, and
then we’ll continue.”
The likes of Liam Palmer, Michael Smith, Callum Paterson, Pol Valentin and Jamal Lowe have all seen limited
game time come their way in recent weeks, but at this point only Smith – due to interest from Wrexham – has
been actively linked with an exit from the club.
