Heard he is leaving on Jan 1st?
Megson wants him to stay, the club have not offered him a deal?

Are these all rumours?

Yes its true he had a deal till the end of the season but got offered this coaching role and Megson has let him go .... Good luck to him god loves a trier and nice after recent years to be able to say he gave his all for the club.

Interesting to see what replacements been lined up though .... the rumours about Roberts seem to be gathering pace

Its in the Star, Wednesday wanted him to stay but didn't offer him a contract in time so he's off;

As for the Roberts rumour, it was flying around in the summer, i think its more wishful thinking than anything concrete. If/when Marshall goes back to Stoke of elsewhere and if Milan can part with £1m i suppose Huddesfield will start talking, my feeling is he'll stay where he is until the summer and see what happens at the Terriers during that time.

Bit gutted about this, it was only the other day i was thinking JOC has been a good servant to Wednesday.
All the best to the lad, he's got a first class attitude.

I wish him all the best a rarety of recent times at Hillsborough a player who can hold there head up high at say every time i played I gave 100% for the club. Earned every penny of the money he got from the club, Good Luck to him.

He's got a contract till the summer at Wednesday anyway, but agreed to release him early.

As for Roberts he wouldn't come to Wednesday i wouldn't have thought another very good player for League One would be surprised if he didn't follow Pilkington to a Premier League side or a top Championship one.

After Marshall's reaction to his goal Saturday I'd be surprised if he didn't see the season out with Wednesday. Especially now Etherington is back and playing well at Stoke.

"I’m really disappointed with James’s decision. James only signed a six-month contract in the summer. I wanted him to stay on and sign for another six months to the end of the season and we’d take it from there."

Megson says 6 month deal?

MLS :D
I will welcome him to the MLS when he makes an appearance in Toronto :hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:

Did he kiss the badge? Did he? If so, that's confirmation of his love for the club, his undying devotion to the cause.

Very true, just like when you say you are totally committed to the club and are not leaving ...

... just ask Big Ron :hihi:

I did put another post on after apologising, I read the article after I was under the impression he had signed a 1 year deal but obvioulsy not. That post got removed though for some reason.

He didn't kiss the badge but showed passion towards it and the supporters.

Very good of you :hihi: I think he might actually be signing for Toronto ;). Any idea the kind of money average players in MLS get? PLayers like Julian Alsop etc. Average English players from the lower leagues?

All MLS lol same thing Canada, USA all the same country really :rolleyes:

Who's Rafael Marquez? I guess Freddy Adu hasn't turned out like the Americans expected?

It seems megson wanted the lad to stay but the people who pull the purse strings didn't agee.

To be fair though we have more than enough cover in the central midfield area anyway.
Prutton, Lines, Palmer, Semedo, Coke, so it's not like he needs replacing desperatly.

Who's Rafael Marquez?

The bloke JOC is replacing ......NOT
JOC couldn't even do up Marquez's bootlaces :hihi::hihi::hihi:
Saw him play last season, Class player.
Toronto got Torsten Frings as well also Class and miles ahead of everyone else on the pitch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_M%C3%A1rquez

Good luck to j.o.c, personally i think prutton is a better player,but no one can fault j.o.c,s commitment and effort.i wish him all the best.

the guy was pure bobbins from the day he came . its ok saying he gives 100% but so would i if given the chance . it would'nt stop me being crap though

Wow an honest owl :clap::clap::clap: Good post and if he is as bobbins as you say he will fit right in with 95 % of the players in the MLS :hihi::hihi:

He's a poor mans Nick Montgomery in my opinion said it before every team needs a player like O'Connor or MOnty not the most technically gift but does the dirty work and puts a foot in gives 100% to the cause.

We now have Semedo in his place who is a lot better player.

Yeah heard a lot about him, Hes the one no one can get past right :hihi::hihi:
Jordan Rhodes never got a look in by all accounts ;)

Gotta agree with that. Never rated him, a poor player. He's done alrighr getting a move to the mls but Cant see him helping its reputation if he ever plays

He didn't kiss the badge but showed passion towards it and the supporters.

He did kiss the badge mate as he ran to corner of kop and north stand to celebrate! Mandaric has also said his main priority is signing Marshall batth and bywater in Jan but its upto the parent clubs I just hope it happens cos I can't see any quality on the flanks in our permanent ranks!

Yep samedo is much better, maybe now it will make megson find a replacemenr on the right wing

A fella very much in the MLS know said hes coming over to take on a coaching role...Must be coming to teach players how to get worse than they already are by the sounds of it :hihi::hihi:

Apparently he has been offered a coaching role at a unnamed mls side not playing. Good luck to the lad for his commitment but he is 1 shocking footballer.

I wish him all the best, he gave 100% but unfortunately for Wednesday he can't pass, tackle, run, shoot or head the ball.

Someone mentioned previously he's like Montgomerie, I had exactly the same conversation with a Blade this weekend and both were mentioned in the same breath.

Good luck to him though as he was a trier, if only we could get JJ to put the same effort in.

I can't believe JJ is still at Hillsborough to be honest with you.

He wont be for much longer.

Yeah I agree pal, he's a liability get rid and free up his wages for a player who's heart will be in it.

I reckon thats exactly what megson thinks.

Yeah look at the difference between JJ and that Roberts on Saturday.

Worlds apart mate. We all know on his day jj can be a great player,but those days are getting less and less, i dont think he is even a good player to have around . get shut.

Without a shadow of a doubt, i would have got rid ages ago to be honest but I doubt there would be many takers what with his attitude.

said it in the summer when he got new contract that he was garbage and got a bit of stick,jj is hopeless,cant pass,cant cross and very rarely shoots on target,all he can do is run at defenders and that leads to nowt cause he doesn't know when to pass the ball.said it before and i'll say it again why do most owls hero worship him ??? can't see it my self,as for joc he was having a howler earlier in the season with passing and tackling but he turned it around last few games worked hard for the team and started doing ok

Can imagine him being a very good coach to be honest due to his passion of the game.
