This week, Sheffield Wednesday’s summer arrivals surpassed ten thousand.

Ike Ugbo was being pursued by the Owls since the end of the season, and they finally acquired him from Troyes for £3 million.

Nonetheless, Sheffield Wednesday might still be looking to recruit players, as Danny Rohl has previously stated that he wants to “do something” in central defense and midfield.

The German looks to not be quite satisfied with his existing choices, despite having already welcomed Nathaniel Chalobah and Svante Ingelsson to the team.

With the majority of Wednesday’s midfield players leaning toward attack, Wednesday may now consider adding an all-around player to complement Barry Bannan.

The previous season saw the Owls lose several midfield players, including John Buckley, whose loan period ended early in January.

Before suffering a shoulder injury around Christmas, the 24-year-old had made only five starts. He was then sent back to Blackburn Rovers to recuperate.

In addition to making 10 appearances for his parent club, Buckley did not play in this week’s opening-day victory over Derby County.

Now that Buckley has been made available, it appears that he may be heading out once more, according to journalist Alan Nixon on his Patreon.

Prior to joining Blackburn, Buckley appeared to have a lot of potential. In the 2021–2022 season, he contributed 10 goals.

Additionally, Buckley was frequently used out of position, covering both sides of the midfield.

He could have made a difference at Hillsborough if he hadn’t sustained an injury over the holidays, as people like Marvin Johnson and Pol Valentin did.

But his accident spoiled the chance, and he’s now searching elsewhere for a new beginning.

With three years remaining on his Ewood Park contract, Buckley is unlikely to come up for cheap.

Given his issues from the previous season, the Owls would be foolish to pursue him again, but it wouldn’t be shocking if he found a new team and made a significant impression.
