da betway： Sheffield Wednesday suffered their fifth defeat in six league outings on Tuesday night, but during the match, fans were hit with a fresh slice of transfer news.
da supremo： According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Owls are set to sign Parma winger Alessio Da Cruz on loan with the news emerging right before kickoff at Wigan Athletic.
Garry Monk’s side went on to lose 2-1 after Jamal Lowe snatched a point from their grasp in the 90th minute.
Sheffield Star reporter Dom Howson has since confirmed the interest in Da Cruz and expects an announcement to be made imminently.
As a result of this latest revelation, fans have been responding in their droves as the club finally appear to be doing business ahead of Friday’s 11pm deadline, although that elusive new striker still evades them.
Here’s what they have been saying…
Some supporters saw the potential in the deal with one comparing it to summer signing Julian Borner, suggesting that it could be ‘another gem signing.’
Da Cruz’s pace, passion and flair were also noted by further members of the Hillsborough faithful after it was revealed that he would be arriving with plenty of baggage – three red cards this season as well as spats with fellow teammates.
Although not everyone was pleased with it…
In fact, the vast majority were particularly negative about the Dutchman as one supporter labelled him a “hot head” who isn’t what the club needed.
A couple of other fans were underwhelmed by the news with one claiming that one or two new players aren’t going to fix the squad.
There was also a shout for the season being over whilst that member of the Hillsborough faithful also suggested that these sorts of deals tend to be more miss than hit.
Plenty of others used the revelation as a reason to take a swipe at the rest of the Owls squad.
Some wanted to see more signings, even if they were from the ‘dog and duck’ league whilst others wanted the 23-year-old to go straight into this weekend’s starting XI vs Millwall.
One supporter even said he would drive Jordan Rhodes back to Scotland.
