Played for Sheffield Wednesday and best known for getting sent off against us and drawing the Ire of Warnock (instantly a hero)
He did finish last season on the end of a crunching ankle injury - but he's tall, got a few goals in him, regimented and a right ars*hole to play against.
Lees is currently without a club, and I think he would be a great addition to the squad (assuming he's not too badly stifled by his ankle)

To be fair...
"England Under-21 star Lees was shown a straight red card for a high tackle on Ipswich's Jay Tabb after 32 minutes."
Arguably, that wasn't necessarily what would usually be regarded as a 'high' tackle... |  |

Quite, one would assume this kind of tackle would have been perfectly legal against someone of average height. | |

30 years old, not good enough for League 1 Sheffield Weds. Why would he be the answer to anything other than a hasbeens 11? |  | | |

Agreed, 30 is a decent age for CH. however, if you are going to go for experience in that vital position (a good thing in my view), then go for somebody like Mowbray or a Wark. A top player on the way down, not somebody at the back end of his career who wasn’t that great in the first place. | | | |

Certainly wouldn't be a player you'd see have a statue put up for him - but certainly has been getting 30+ appearances a season since his first league appearance, also scoring at least once per season more often than not. Might not be the ticket to ride, though if we need a dependable experienced sort in the CD spot next year - I don't think he'd be a terrible freebee. [Post edited 1 Jul 2021 17:12]

Could be worth a punt. I guess I’m a little ‘punt-averse’ after Lambert’s disastrous and lazy mud at wall approach. MM was pretty good at it though, but then by and large, he had a good eye for a player. | | | |

The way things are shaping up in the transfer market - I have a feeling anyone in a central defender role would be a punt at this stage. There really aren't a whole lot of stand-out 'realistic' targets that jump out.
I am sure there are better out there, but hard to really make predictions on what Ashton and Cook has to spend. | |

Don't disagree with you to be fair, he's always looked solid enough. As you say he's spent the past decade playing consistently in the Championship, and he's a good age. Wouldn't be against it on a 2 yr deal. | |

Think we could see someone come in on loan at CB.....not a youngster but someone not getting game time elsewhere |  |
