Evening Ed, I have heard that Michail Antonio (excuse the spelling) has had a medical this afternoon, with a fee of 400k the deal should be finalised in the next day or two. Any truth in this? Big strong fast and direct type of player but is he good enough?

{Ed034's Note - two seasons ago he was the top assists in this league. For me can be a good signing

What happened to him last season. I cannot find any stats on him

{Ed034's Note - had an average season. A lot of Wednesday fans put that down to Dave jones' tactics of long ball

Played against us two seasons ago. if my memory is good. he's faster than lightning. replacement for Mackie ed'. just a thought. banter has been great today. ed' mischievous as usual. but we are all together in one thing, FTWD.

Saw £1.4m being talked about on social media. Still, rather Antonio at that price than Adomah at £3.5m+.

{Ed034's Note - certainly not that much

Ed, if we sign Antonio would he play ahead of Paterson or Burke great options on the wing.

{Ed034's Note - depends on form. We need options. Can play both wings I've been told

Also got a huge throw on him that is a weapon, longer than Halfords and could cause problems with lars in the box

Fine with me, we need pace, and he got that!
Ed, any comments from you about Mackie going, know you like him?
I understand Cox is going, but still rate Mackie for his pace, work rate and playing with heart, but to few goal, just like Cox!

{Ed034's Note - disappointed but understand. He's in a big wage and if he isn't going to be seen as a automatic choice but instead a back up, he's a very expensive one

Ed I had a look at stats and he wasnt anywhere near top. season before last he had around 9 league assists and the top assists was 14. not far behind. all depends on who is finishing the chances off doesn't it. I do think he will be a good signing though

{Ed034's Note - going on what a Wednesday fan who works for me has said. I recall him raving about him and saying he's the best winger in the league. Smug look tomorrow is ready lol

A very quick and strong winger, would be Adomah but we fauiled to sign him, he's a good player looking for a break to start his career
