Injuries have certainly impacted the team, with several players sidelined due to various ailments. However, Röhl has emphasized his intention to rotate the squad regularly to keep the players fresh during this busy period. After the penalty shootout loss to Brentford, he highlighted the importance of managing minutes for players like Dom Iorfa and Dish Bernard, stating that they were not meant to play the full 90 minutes. He praised Liam Palmer for bringing composure to the midfield, enabling the team to have positive moments with the ball. With the ability to substitute three players and introduce fresh legs, Röhl is now fully focused on the challenge posed by Watford, recognizing that a demanding week lies ahead.

Sheffield Wednesday have submitted a bid for a proven Championship striker as they prepare for the 2024/25 season. The club has already had a productive summer transfer window, with eight new signings, including Charlie McNeill, who joined after being released by Manchester United. McNeill will compete for a spot in the squad alongside striker Jamal Lowe, who has arrived from Bournemouth after a loan spell with Swansea City in the 2023/24 campaign.

Sheffield Wednesday have reportedly made an ‘opening bid’ for Troyes attacker Ike Ugbo, according to Mike McGrath on X. Ugbo, a Canadian international, played a pivotal role for Sheffield Wednesday during the latter part of the 2023/24 season while on loan, scoring seven goals to help the Owls secure their Championship status. Following his successful loan spell, Ugbo has attracted interest from other Championship clubs and is being monitored by Premier League teams.

Carlton Palmer expressed his happiness following Sheffield Wednesday’s announcement of Josh Windass extending his contract with the club. Windass initially joined the Owls on loan in the January 2020 window, a move that became permanent in the subsequent summer transfer period.

Since then, Windass has emerged as a pivotal figure at Hillsborough, amassing 135 appearances. His contributions were instrumental in a promotion campaign, and he played a significant role last season under Danny Rohl, featuring in 25 games and scoring six goals as Sheffield Wednesday defied expectations to remain in the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday might have some reminders of Rangers this season. The Owls are reportedly interested in a current Rangers player, who would join a former Ibrox star already at the club. Josh Windass, with Sheffield Wednesday since 2020, was uncertain about his future as his contract neared its end. Despite stalled negotiations in early June, The Star has reported that Windass is now expected to stay at Hillsborough, with a deal agreed to keep him at the club. Since joining from Wigan, Windass has recorded 57 goals and assists in 135 games for Sheffield Wednesday.

Manager Danny Rohl expressed optimism about ongoing contract talks with his players, stating, “All in all, I am positive at the moment. I am still in contact with all the players, we are in talks, and now it is about finding the agreement to take the next step.” One potential new arrival is Scott Wright, a Rangers winger linked with a move to Sheffield Wednesday, who almost transferred to Turkey last summer and now faces increased competition at Rangers.

Three senior Sheffield Wednesday players are nearing the end of their contracts without having formally resolved their futures. While the club has been proactive in the transfer market, signing free agents Ben Hamer and Max Lowe and acquiring Yan Valery for an undisclosed fee, the fate of Josh Windass, Dominic Iorfa, and Di’Shon Bernard remains uncertain. Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer have secured new deals, but negotiations with Windass have stalled, making his continued stay at S6 increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Iorfa has expressed a desire to stay but awaits further clarity on his contract status. Bernard’s decision is also pending, with discussions ongoing as he competes in the Copa America with Jamaica. Manager Danny Röhl is keen to retain Bernard, who quickly became a fan favorite in his debut season at the club.

Sheffield Wednesday: Josh Windass and Will Vaulks developments will not help Dejphon Chansiri – View

16/06/2024 Raymond 0

Sheffield Wednesday faces a pivotal summer after securing their Championship status. The Owls seemed set for an immediate return to League One following a disastrous start under Xisco Munoz. However, under Danny Rohl’s guidance, they managed a remarkable turnaround, finishing 20th and ensuring their survival. Fears of losing Rohl were alleviated when he signed a new long-term contract last month.

Rohl now focuses on rebuilding the squad, with loanees like James Beadle and Jeff Hendrick returning to their parent clubs, and several players, including Ciaran Brennan and George Byers, being released. Cameron Dawson, Liam Palmer, Dominic Iorfa, Di’Shon Bernard, Will Vaulks, Barry Bannan, and Josh Windass were offered new deals, but only Palmer and Bannan have committed so far. Dawson seeks regular first-team football elsewhere, and Vaulks has joined Oxford United, while Windass, amid interest from multiple clubs, is the latest to reject a new contract. These departures heighten scrutiny on owner Dejphon Chansiri as the club navigates this crucial period.
