GlossopLatic Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Sido signs official Wycombe Fans reaction Wycombe fans seem genuinely gutted that hes gone I always find that reassuring. This has picked my mood up slightly Im encouraged by this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 If we are being charitable he'd have played against Kewell sides a few times so he'd be aware of him at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 My mate remembers him at Bath City before he signed for Cheltenham. Reckoned he was developing into a very good player then. Can this possibly be HK getting his own players in? Let's bloody hope so and not have any more of that French 5th Division crap. He's just messaged me; he's rung another of his Bath City supporting mates and they reckon we've got a very good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being plonked on Dino on Friday was one of the tipping points in their relationship, which ultimately led to him being axed. Pidge and CBJ coming in today...

Chairboy Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Wycombe fan here- fantastic signing for you guys. We're very strong at RB which is his best position and at his age he needs to be playing. He's comfortably a League One right back and League Two quality at CB, where his eccentricity on the ball can be caught out more. An intelligent, eccentric and athletic full back who defends well and excels going forwards. Can also take a wonderful curling free kick from just outside the box that will add to your capability at set plays. To add to this, he's a lovely chap and will be a great character around the place. A footballer who we've loved watching at Wycombe and has played a key role in our rise from the bottom of L2 to the Championship. Easily got another three years at Football League level in him, surprised it's not a longer deal. You've done very well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 He wasn’t making the team at Wycombe - he last played back in February for them and will be 33 years old this month. Maybe Ainsworth feels that the Championship is beyond him? Best quote from the Wycombe fans thread: “One of those rare players it's a joy to watch while also regularly giving you a panic attack. The definition of mercurial.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, and I have no reason to doubt this, it would mean we have cover at the back. Just wonder if we may shortly see the departure of Hamer?

Do what you want like but, I wish those of you doing this with every signing would turn it in. It's boring and when it's done with a knowing, no fly's on me, wink too it's cringey as fuck. ALMO are going to make signings, Kewell will probably get the go ahead for a few of his too. I'd rather us channel anger at more important matters like the North Stand/OEC situation, treatment of staff, calibre of key staff etc, etc... Plenty to choose from....

I was looking for an explanation as to why such a Wycombe stalwart and much loved player was not offered a further contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something which the owner doesn't need to do, is destructive to the team and will cost him nothing to stop doing to make things better. No harm in questioning this way of making signings - especially when the Manager has supposedly been sacked on the back of a disagreement over this particular one..

Perhaps at this stage of his career championship football was deemed a step to far for him. He only played a handful of games in League 1 this season so that would be an indicator as to why he was released. Seems a decent signing to me as all his former clubs speak very highly of him. League 2 should (hopefully) be well within his capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This suggests that the decision to sack Dino was made on Friday and not before then. Given how quickly the news broke about Kewell that feels a bit unlikely to me? Would also seem to contradict the speculation that the timing was furlough-related. It's possible that Kewell was waiting by the phone just in case the relationship with Dino deteriorated though, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris15Arm Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Fairly decent start with pidge and CBJ to come in too. Pidge played for Melbourne before salford so maybe Kewell might know a bit of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if Dino was happy with Jombati coming in, would HK still have rocked up, or would Dino have been given a stay of execution? For HK to have been appointed so quickly, he must have been just about installed anyway? I just hope he has some (a lot of) say in who is signed and who isn't. He can't be forced to work with any more dross that may come in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem isn’t that they (AL, ML, BO) make signings, it’s that none of our signings seemed to be joined up in any way leading to unbalanced squads and players the manager doesn’t want. So he either doesn’t play them or gets sacked/walks for not wanting to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still convinced the photos of Kewell on the pitch in sunshine conditions.....was taken before Saturday as there was no bloody sunshine until late afternoon on Saturday. OR it was hollywood quality photo-shopping there...hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you want like, but if you can’t see that our recruitment policy is the single biggest reason we are shit. Then good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
