Neil Mellor Joins Owls

[Jamie_Seagull]

Preston and ex-Liverpool striker Neil Mellor has joined our League 1 rivals Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan! YIKES!

And a few more good players have joined , i think Sedgewick has ?

And i believe Gary Teale from Derby is going to join them?

Huddersfield and Wednesday looking strong next season..

They will be up there and thats a good signing for them we could of done wiv someone like him.

Yup, may even be tempted to class Huddersfield or Wednesday as title favourites if they keep on signing players of such quality, whilst Saints (and Pardew) are sat on their asses waiting for Gus to leak his next target to the public.

Some very, very capable players have joined this league in recent weeks - Peterborough are looking strong in that respect as well.

Not seen much activity from Charlton or Plymouth (understandably I guess, what with Charlton's off-field problems and Plymouth's recent change in manager).

Mellor is too fat and can't score goals for toffee. I reckon they will struggle. The surprise packets in this league could be Brentford and Orient - they've signed some good players.

Not sure about Mellor, Preston want shot but due to his wages (I assume) the best he can get is a loan.

Always thought Mellor was a bit of a mule whenever i've seen him

Dont think Southampton really need to sign anyone with the squad they currently have

Does he ever score more than 5 goals a season?

Wednesday are welcome to him

No right back (LOL), no back up strikers - little strength in depth. Still a bit of work for them to do this summer, but according to their forums the rumours are that Pardew spent the majority of the summer budget in January, gambling on them gaining promotion last season.

In the last three years he's scored 11, 10 and 12 goals respectively. Not bad really for a bottom half of the championship striker.
