How have they afforded his loan fee?

I'm surprised, league I thought Bournemouth were interestied, much better option, better standard. Not sure how league 1 football will add much to his game

Playing League One football will mean he's playing football. I'm not sure how much difference there is in playing in goal between the two divisions. Birmingham looked the most likely Championship move but they signed a loan goalkeeper yesterday.

That's a good question

Very surprised to go down to that standard might not be as good as everybody thinks utc

Quite clearly "Everybody" doesn't think he's that good hense him joining a league 1 side on loan.

Most Burnley fans could see that when he was asked to step in, seems the manager agrees.

It makes sense for Bailey to go out on loan, however I'd hoped we'd have managed to tempt a Championship club, still I suppose it's better playing for Sheff Wed than not playing at all.

As well as the loan fee, do we have any idea how much of his salary is split between Burnley/Sheff Wed, I can't imagine The Owls are in a position to be forking out vast fortunes on wages, so we may well find that Burnley are still contributing towards the majority of his wages, which isn't ideal if we're trying to ship out the deadwood and the salaries which comes with them.

It's unlikely BPF will contend for a 1st team place at Burnley, certainly not if we remain in the PL, so I guess the best we can hope for is he impresses at Sheff Wed, and this alerts some Championship clubs to making a reasonable bid for his services, but even in that scenario we'll do well to get anywhere near the reported £3.5m we paid Leeds for him, although how much of that fee was dependant on appearances etc I guess none of us actually know.

it's cost them 300K in total which includes their commitment to any wage, that would clearly suggest we are subsidizing it

It just shows we have a long way to go with our youngsters if we're having to loan out players we thought were good enough to deserve a chance in the premier league to lower league sides.

League one. Ouch. I hope he has a good season.

League 1 or the championship, it doesn't matter and if they're the only club who can get the money together then fine.
He gets a year of football, which will help his development.

Good luck to him and hopefully he has a good season down there.

Quite surprised to see him drop down to League 1. I suppose it's all about game time. Will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Surely better than him sitting on his back side all year playing ZERO competitive games

No doubt it is. But I think people are surprised that he couldn't get first team football in the championship. Not s good sign for the lad going down to league one but it's a chance to impress nonetheless.

What I read was that it was a £300,000 loan fee, I'm not convinced that gets him wages free.

Couple of mistakes at B’mouth and he’d have been benched.
should play all year at Owls.

The oracle Nixon is suggesting £300k covers wages and loan fee

He couldn't get first team Championship football when we signed him.

Another transfer Nixon has called absolutely bang on, I don't understand the Nixon hate.

I'm hoping he has got the wages/fee wrong though.

He said it was expensive.

300k including wages is pittance.

Good luck to the lad. Come back refreshed.

Think the call it envy

Nixon gets a lot right but also quite a few wrong I remember Defour being too foreign and too expensive for instance.

He isn’t the only one that suggested this transfer was he the first to suggest it? Not sure and it doesn’t matter, I don’t take anything that anyone says as serious until it actually happens.

I think he played around half a season at about 21 yrs old

Better playing every week for Sheff Wed than being a bit part keeper at Bournemouth. Can see him doing well, and we agreeing a price with them in 11 months

That can’t cover fee & wages
It works out at less than £6k per week

Just seen him say that we asked for £300k and he PRESUMES that that’s what we got. So PRESUMABLY he doesn’t actually know the full details then.

It’s a fee plus whatever has been agreed on wages

So are we confirming Tony , that actually we will get £300k as a loan fee, and then wages paid on top of that?

I’m not confirming anything but I was led to believe there was a fee and an agreement on the wages.

He was their first choice for a period but was replaced swiftly.

300k is a good fee, they pay his wages, give us 300k and give him first team football, it's a win win win for us. I can't remember how much we paid for him but I'd guess 300k is around half of the transfer fee.

He needs toughening up, look at Pope he was out on loan a few times in his career, not the end of the road for him.

Add 2 million to your 600k figure and you are around the figure we paid for him

I know, but Nixon has suggested it was 300k including his wages.

No, but he played for that dirty lot in the Championship and has since played in the Premier League so you'd think he'd do better than league 1.

I rate BPF.

Can't understand some of the tosh in some posts.

He's our future No. 1 if Pope goes for eg.
Always plays well for NI too.

BIg club, if they are pushing for promotion, they will get big crowds, bigger pressure, better for development.

Bournemouth under Parker...... if they're like Fulham, he'd have had plenty of work to do.

If he's our future No. 1 then heaven help us, thankfully SD has decided quite rightly that the lad isn't up to PL standard, and we've moved quickly to bring in a decent back-up for Pope.

He's had some good games for NI, but he's also thrown in a fair few howlers while playing for them.

Now perhaps a good spell on loan with a team who you'd expect to be winning games at that level might improve his confidence, but in his brief showings for the Clarets he's looked out of his depth I'm afraid.

I don't think toughening up is what he needs, after all international football is tough enough, playing regularly would help. Watching Hennessey this evening and he doesn't look any better.

At around a similar age Heaton was on loan at Wycombe and Pope at Bury. He's still pretty young to write off

Hot takes only please..... He's no good, and neither's the Welsh lad based on 60 minutes of pre-seqson. Take your sensible posts elsewhere.

Sorry Dan. How about, he gets beaten at his near post far too easily, he'll never make a professional footballer.

HaHa. he's probably earned more as a professional footballer than some of us oldies have earned in our lifetime.

He’s garbage. If he was even half decent he’d still be here on the bench.

If he’s our future No. 1 then it’ll mean we’ve been relegated.

Now you're talking..... somebody will be along shortly to vehemently disagree, you can call then an idiot, and then you'll know you've made it.

Anyone who has watched the Amazon Prime series on Leeds in the Championship will know how gash Farrell is he was dropping b0llocks every game and was quickly replaced mid season by some foreign keeper who was worse than him,Farrell will never play for us again..thank god.

What exactly did Hennessey do wrong last night? I was there and to be fair he didn't have much to do. Kicked well with both feet,too.

He made Joe Hart look like Buffon, hope he improves
