WDP is saying that Lee Holmes has been offered a deal at Sheffield Wednesday.

Holmes wanted to go to a Championship side so.. looks like he will get his wish. :cry:

as long as zaboob works hard then it doesn't matter.

and therein lies the problem!

Wednesday have taken a Spanish U21 left winger on trial from Athletico Bilbao, so its not certain Holmes would go there.

I reckon he would have a much greater chance of first team football here, so if he's trying to progress his career, he'd be much better off here.

wednesday just recently sold chris brunt to wba, so are in the market for a left winger to take his place...

WDP today says Holmes has turned us down

His loss perhaps. Let's get those strikers in!

I hope Wednesday pull out and no one else want him. Then he'll be begging us.

You bitter twat. Of course he's going to choose wednesday over us :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I don't want any player who doesn't 100% want to play for us.

Did a great job with us last time - good luck to him.

Who the fuck is going to want to play for a bankrupt, messed up, old club like ours. Seriously!  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That's got to be the most deluded comment ever. Have we ever had a player who'd wanted to play for Swindon and only Swindon 100%. We'd have no players. Of course he'll take the opportunity to play at a higher level if he has a chance. There isn't any loyalty involved, it's just sensible.

Wait, this is a fishing wind up isn't it?

It was a "Blah Blah Blah" comment - to save a world from the regular "He's a knob vs. Good luck to him" type debate.

 :mrgreen:

I see that Holmes has still not joined Sheff Weds, and they do seem to be purusing other targets, so hopefully that means he will join us by Friday and put pressure on sofi.

I can only see Sturrock signing loan players at the moment due to the club ownership issue not being resolved.

Lee Holmes deal back on?

As I think I've said elsewhere there's fuck all about Holmes being signed in the media up here. The only sources on the web that mention it seem to come from the WDP article. As they've got a Spanish left sided MF on trial and have just signed some Dutch fella I'm not sure there's much in it.

at the end of the day all the WDP said was that SW were interested.

nothing about Holmes turning us down.

Now that SW have signed this winger then hopefully he'll see us as the better option.

at least with us he'll get games

Fuck him, if he wanted to join us he would have done so by now.

To be fair he may have been waiting for the transfer window to see if any championship clubs came in for him...we don't know what the deal is though, I'd be surprised if he does not arrive though.

Wednesday have confirmed the signing of some dutch guy who plays on the left wing.  Perhaps this may come to fruition after all??

presumably derby county are the premiership team sturrock mentioned who wanted a loan fee. as if that £30million they'll get for finishing bottom isn't enough!

i asked an insider what happened to holmes, i thought we were getin him? all he said was are we not getin him? and watch this space, im just passing on a conversation from earlier
