Now that’s two signings of intent from them in 24 hours

Smith and vaulks are big signings for L1! Would have taken both in a heartbeat.

I don’t feel we have matched them so far. Really hope we step it up with marquee signings.

Smith has scored just 11 more goals in his career than Ladapo.

He also only scored about 14 more in his time at Rotherham whilst playing 60 odd more games than Ladapo.

So tbh we've signed someone of similar level who suits our managers style more than Smith would.


Regarding Vaulks. He has scord 11 goals in 104 games. We've had chappers and Burns do similar in just 1 season.

Two good signings. But neither imo are better than what we have.

And now Michael Ihiekwe confirmed. They should win the league at a canter.

Not sure we need a marquee signing. A few gazebos will do just fine. Relax. You seem a bit tents.

These clubs were looking at us with envy last year and we know what happened there. You have to admit they’re building a good squad though

Piggott and Fraser were big signings for us last year.

We shall see. For my money, Smith will flop there. I think he was tailor-made for Rotherham and I'm not sure he'll do as well for Wednesday. As for the CB, if he's better than Woolfie, Donacien or Edmundson I'll be gobsmacked.

Why would he flop there? Wednesday can play quite direct football, Smith’s height and physicality will suit that perfectly. He’s shown that at this level, he’s a very decent striker and I can’t see that changing next season either.

Rotherham fans must already be resigned to another relegation - 3 of their best players out the door already!

If you want a Marquee signing - don't understate Dominic Ball. As per usual we must remember that transfer fee =/= better than a free transfer or loan

They were by no means direct last season. If anything, the fans were getting on Moore's back for being too tippy tappy. You don't have players like Bannan if you're planning on playing kick and rush. Good luck to them. Smith is getting 12-14k a week if reports are to be believed.

They are signing players to win League 1, rather than future planning there.

If they go up, I’d wager them to come straight back down. Just like Rotherham.

They can play the long ball game. Did you see them in the play offs against Sunderland? Smith will be a big asset for them at set pieces with Bannan’s delivery.

I saw them against Sunderland. They were nothing special and Bannon was the only decent player they had.

We shouldn’t worry who other teams buy/acquire. It’s what we do. The last thing we need is a ‘marquee signing’; a ‘statement’ signing. We need to build a proper team.

They’ll probably lose their manager too if Dean Smith has a bad start to the season

Good signings but:

Ihiekwe isn't as good as Woolfy or Edmundson.
Vaulks isn't as good as Morsy (Ball TBC)
Smith has less goals in his last 3 L1 seasons combined than Ladapo

Ladapo was crucified by their fans for wanting to go to Sheff Wed in January.

Now it’s the 2 key members of the side Ihikwe & Smith, who Rotherham fans wouldn’t have had a bad word to say against them this time last week who have made the move to Sheff Wed

Funny old world football!
