GrahamC Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Good move for him, even better one for us. Was told last week he had 2 clubs after him & the other was in the Championship, Wednesday are huge, so presume it was a Wigan, Blackpool or Rotherham type of side.

Thing is, whilst Bakinson can obviously play, his career is clearly over here as long as Pearson remains the manager. He burned his bridges and then failed to do enough on loan in League One to get a move. I don't think it fair for me to speculate on his attitude as I don't know him or exactly what happened but ultimately it does neither him nor us any good for him to be kicking his heels in the under-23s so I think a move would be great news all round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Great news, hope it wraps nice and quickly. We won't be asking for much, so as long as Wednesday don't try and fully take the piss this should be a goer. On Bakinson, he has it in him to excel somewhere. I remember at the start of the Holden/Pearson season he was instrumental in our good start, a powerful frame in holding midfield iirc. But he's clearly got a personality that doesn't click with Nige's philosophy, and that isn't in the spirit of what's being built here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Has he gone yet? I know it says talks are ongoing but surely all it takes is: Them: Can we have Bakinson? Us: Yes, goodbye.

I think you have nailed that. I’m not sure to what extent these departures are due to shopping around/proactive canvassing, but I think credit has to go somewhere. Moore and Bakinson have good moves either as loans to the end of their contract or sales. It seems relatively obvious that OLeary is in the frame when the new bloke is fit. At the beginning of last season we had already seen a massive out going and this is following on that. My personal opinion is we are putting together a counter attacking team in Pearson’s image, a proper DNA metaphor rather than the Ashton LJ bollocks! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only down to ten men thanks to an unbelievably shit decision by the ref, who sent off Henri Lansbury for handball when he got nowhere near it. Fortunately Barry Bannan took a shite penalty & we got what was one of very few points in the last 12 games of that season. Think considering the awful run we were on that was the game that effectively relegated them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah much better to have someone who knocks it sideways and backwards and does not give if away, but dull as dishwater. The thing I liked about TB he would know where the pass was going before he got the ball, has very good awareness of players and not having to stop so able to move it quickly. Of course forward or quick balls are going to be more risky, sometimes they fail due to being a poor pass, sometimes the pass is good but not read by the receiver or just good interception by the defence.

"Sheffield Wednesday are delighted to confirm the signing of Tyreeq Bakinson from Bristol City on a 3 year deal. Upon registering our early interest, we received 25,000 glowing references from Bristol City fans emphasising the talent of the player. Robins manager Nigel Pearson followed this up by stating 'words fail to describe him'." Another one hopefully out the door, as we move towards the end of Nige's rebuild. The squad is finally starting to look like one that Nige wants himself and can take ownership of. Our business is looking good for both incomings and outgoings this summer.

Positivity has returned to the club. Certainly feels more like a Nige squad 3 windows in (3rd window still open). Tanner, Wilson, Klose, Naismith, Atkinson, Pring, Scott, James, Sykes, King, Idehen, Benarous either signed or given their chance. Hes getting there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the next step is retaining the ones Nige wants to stay. Whilst having to do so on reduced terms. We are in a much better place than we were when he first took over. Positivity has returned to the club. A very good point, and Good Luck to NP, RG and the rest of the management team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the distance from the HPC to Middlewood Road (Sheffield Wednesday's training ground) is 140 miles, and that Tyreeq Bakinson travels half the distance from the HPC to Middlewood Road on the first day, and half the outstanding distance on each subsequent day (so on day 1 Tyreeq travels 70 miles, on day 2, 35 miles, etc), (a) how far away from Middlewood Road is Tyreeq at the end of his 5th day of travel; [2 marks] (b) at the end of what day does Tyreeq arrive at Middlewood Road? [2 marks] Show your working. Ooh. I like these. Day 1 - 70 miles, day 2 - 35 miles, day 3 - 17.5 miles, day 4 - 8.75 miles, day 5 - 4.375 miles. Total travelled 135.625 miles so approx 4.375 miles away. If therefore, Ty kept even the effort up of his fifth day he makes it on day 6. However, in common with him in life he’s started off well and believed he’d made it, so the performance has tailed off dramatically. That means the following (sticking to 3dp) Day 6 he’s gone 2.187 miles - has 2.188 remaining (rounding distance travelled down in view of Tys reducing effort) Day 7 he’s gone 1.094 miles - has the same left Day 8 he’s gone 0.547 miles - has the same left Day 9 he’s gone 0.273 miles - has 0.274 left Day 10 he’s gone 0.137 miles - has the same left So literally at the end of day 10 he just needs to raise enough of an effort to get from the equivalent of the exit of Grenville Smyth park to the ground. However, nobody thinks he’s doing that so the sad charade carries on into day 11 (0.069 left), day 12 (0.035 left), day 13 (0.018), day 14 (0.009), day 15 (0.005), day 16 (0.003), day 17 (0.002) and day 18 (0.001) until he finally arrives at day 19 and just as he is outside the gates is run over by a forum member who has turned up for his bi-annual **** over Barry Bannan. 4 Points.

Great engine, eye for a pass and pops up with goals. More importantly they wont find a more hard working CM in the entire football league!!
