Jamal Lowe suggests how Sheffield Wednesday players feel about promotion in 2024/25.

Sheffield Wednesday signing Jamal Lowe has spoken about the likelihood of one day becoming promoted with the Owls.

Jamal Lowe joined Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer this summer, as initially reported by Sheffield Wednesday News.

This summer, the forward joined Hillsborough on a free transfer as part of a group of nine players.

He adds to a Sheffield Wednesday attacking third that has already lost loan players Ike Ugbo and Ian Poveda from last season, as well as Lee Gregory, who was released.

Lowe brings promotion experience to Sheffield Wednesday, having gained promotion from the Championship with Bournemouth in 2022.

Lowe has previously gained promotion with Portsmouth, from League Two in 2017.

Lowe, a Jamaican international, provides valuable skills to Danny Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday team, which has not competed in the Premier League since 2000.

Jamal Lowe talks likely Sheffield Wednesday promotion in the 2024-25 season.

In an interview with The Star, Lowe hinted at the potential of Sheffield Wednesday achieving promotion and ending the club’s nearly 25-year absence from English football’s top tier.

Lowe believes Sheffield Wednesday’s first-team will be promoted soon, possibly even next season.

Lowe stated, “That’s a big deal [promotion], it’ll be history, won’t it?” It’s been 25 years, so those players will be known for a very long time, which is something to strive for.

“Everyone has their own career, and they’ll want to look back on it and be happy of what they’ve accomplished together or individually. We’ve all had that in mind.”

Danny Rohl will offer one vital aspect to Sheffield Wednesday’s quest for promotion.

Sheffield Wednesday start the 2024/25 season with new and increased expectations under Rohl.

While the German’s inventive methods benefit both the players and the fans, he will also be the man in charge of managing expectations next season.

A mid-table finish would be a significant accomplishment for Sheffield Wednesday.

However, Sheffield Wednesday’s form in the second part of last season placed them in the top ten, and with an improved playing roster, there is reason to believe the Owls will be dark horses in the second tier next season.

Lowe and his Sheffield Wednesday teammates, along with Rohl, might yet make history and propel the Owls to the Premier League.

Sheffield Wednesday have received a boost in their pursuit of Ike Ugbo.

The Owls have made it clear that they want to bring the striker back to the club, after he scored seven goals on loan last season.

Troyes rejected Sheffield Wednesday’s bid, making it difficult to re-sign him due to financial constraints and high demand.

Yesterday, it was claimed that Ugbo is eager to return to Yorkshire. If Wednesday can reach his valuation, they are sure to win the contest.

Troyes may expect more than the £2.5 million paid for him two years ago, but the Owls’ ability to pay such a figure remains uncertain.

Danny Rohl does not want it to become a saga until the end of the window, and may need to look elsewhere if they cannot afford him.

Wednesday, on the other hand, do not need to spend a lot of money to get a goal scorer, as one is still available for free.

Sheffield Wednesday should move in for the former Stoke City striker.

Tyrese Campbell became a free agent after Stoke City released him at the end of the season, albeit his bad luck with injuries played a significant role in his exit.

The ‘outstanding’ 24-year-old was previously a tremendous hit at the bet365 Stadium, bagging 15 goal contributions during the 2022/23 season and ending as the joint top scorer.

Campbell has 36 goals and 21 assists in 164 appearances with the Potters, although his career has been hindered by injuries.

During the 2020/21 season, the striker was sidelined for nearly a year due to a knee injury, and he only made 14 starts the previous season due to a hip ailment.

Campbell appeared to be back to full fitness by the conclusion of the season, scoring in consecutive games against Southampton and Bristol City.

It wasn’t enough to earn him a new contract, and he is now without a club.

Tyrese Campbell’s skill could overshadow his injury history.

Campbell’s talent has piqued the curiosity of Premier League clubs, including Everton, according to The Athletic.

After his terrible 2023-24 season, top-flight clubs are unlikely to re-enter the market for him, leaving Wednesday free to sign him.

Recovering from long-term injuries is usually tough, but if a player has demonstrated exceptional talent, it may be worth the risk.

Campbell can bring goals to the Owls’ roster, and if it doesn’t work out, it’s not too bad because they didn’t spend anything for him.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed nine players thus far, but have kept their expenditure to a minimum.

Sheffield Wednesday reportedly paid £1.68 million for Yan Valery last month, while Transfermarkt reports a £500,000 fee for Olaf Kobacki.

However, their remaining seven additions were all on free transfers or loan agreements, allowing them to bring in a lot of talent for nothing.

Their transfers haven’t stopped there, and they may be compelled to open their pocketbook again if they want to land one of their primary targets.

Ugbo has expressed interest in returning to Yorkshire, although a contract is still pending due to competition from Stoke, QPR, and Birmingham.

Wednesday are expected to pay seven figures to bring the striker back to Hillsborough, but Carlton Palmer believes the club will not pay more than Troyes paid for him in 2022.

Sheffield Wednesday may be unable to afford Ike Ugbo’s price tag.

According to Football League World, Sheffield Wednesday has received positive news that Ike Ugbo would like to return to the club.

“He was a revelation when he joined on loan in January and was a big part of the team’s survival in the Championship last season. Danny Rohl is keen on bringing him back to the football club, but they are nowhere near a deal.”

“It’s difficult to say what he’s worth. Troyes paid £2.5 million for him in 2022-23, so they’ll be looking to recoup the best part of that for the player.”

“It depends on whether Stoke, QPR, and Birmingham can afford that amount of money.

“I can’t envisage the Owls paying more than £2.5 million for the player; we’ll have to wait and see, but it may open up opportunities for Stoke and QPR.

“QPR is about to sell Sinclair Armstrong, therefore they will have instant finances to sign the player.

“But the good news is that as long as Ugbo maintains to his word about preferring a move to Sheffield Wednesday, a deal will have to be reached for him.

“Fingers crossed that Sheffield Wednesday can win this game.

“A lot of business has been done by Danny Rohl, nine signings already this summer, so we’re looking forward to a very, very good season for Sheffield Wednesday next season.”

Do the Owls have to sell before they can buy?

Wednesday have already spent more than £2 million on Valery and Kobacki, and they have yet to make a penny from departures.

It is evident that the club is keen to get Ugbo back, and he might be the final piece of the puzzle that propels them further up the table.

While he may be expensive, he might significantly improve their prospects next season, and they would almost certainly have to pay a high price to sign any other competent goal-scorer.

Wednesday, on the other hand, has yet to sell a single player and may need to earn some cash before spending any more money.

However, time is running out, and they are faced with the decision of whether to wait to sell players or risk spending the money on Ugbo now.

Josh Windass’ recent comments about Sheffield Wednesday’s style of play under Danny Rohl have sparked some debate among supporters.

Sheffield Wednesday are leaving the UK this month to prepare for the season in Austria and Germany.

Danny Rohl’s new look for Sheffield Wednesday’s first-team squad will play Red Bull Salzburg and Werder Bremen before facing Plymouth Argyle in the 2024/25 Championship season opener.

Sheffield Wednesday fans are optimistic and enthused about the new season. This is Rohl’s first full season in command, and he has signed nine new players, all of whom have piqued fans’ interest.

Sheffield Wednesday supporters have reacted fiercely to striker Josh Windass’ comments on the club’s playing style under Rohl next season.

Windass discussed Sheffield Wednesday’s passing technique, emphasizing the need of working the ball out from the back, in an interview with The Star.

Windass stated, “When the supporters become irritated and say we’re having a horrible game or we lose the ball in the back, I believe they must accept that this is the way we’re going to play.

“I’m sure they’d rather watch us do that than just kick balls up the pitch with no idea what we’re doing.

“It’s crucial for them to see it operating. If we’re getting thrashed five and six times, that’s certainly an issue.”

Last season, Sheffield Wednesday struggled with passing out from the back, with the primary criticism leveled at Rohl being his perseverance in playing in this manner while the club was struggling.

Ultimately, he finished the job and guided Sheffield Wednesday to safety.

Sheffield Wednesday fans respond to Josh Windass’ words.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Sheffield Wednesday fans had a lot to say about Windass’ statements and the team’s overall style of play.

One member of the crowd commented: “Not only us but the majority of clubs cannot play from the back and it causes more goals against.”

Sheffield Wednesday conceded goals when they attempted to play out of the back, particularly against Norwich City and Leicester City.

Sheffield Wednesday fans believe the team needs better-suited players for the style of play, with one saying: “I’m fine with it in general; it’s just that you need to be pretty good at the back to do it, which we weren’t last season.”

Someone else commented: “I am OK with them playing it from the back, as long as we have the players to do it and are good enough.”

Sheffield Wednesday fans, on the other hand, have complete faith and trust in Rohl and are certain that if this style of play does not work out as predicted next season, he will make changes for the better.

A fellow supporter commented: “People forget that if it doesn’t work then Danny will change that,” whereas another stated: “I think we all agree to embrace it but also expect him [Rohl] to switch it up when it isn’t working.”

Overall, it appears that Sheffield Wednesday fans want to see attractive football next season, which is understandable, but Rohl must also work with the players he has, notably at centre-back, where Sheffield Wednesday are now lacking.

Sheffield Wednesday have yet to complete their summer transfer business despite welcoming nine new signings.

The Owls have not made any further acquisitions since signing Charlie McNeill on a free transfer almost a week ago.

Sheffield Wednesday fans haven’t been used to the tranquility of the past eight days, but there’s still much to be thrilled about.

After agreeing to new terms with the most of their key out-of-contract players, sources suggest that Di’Shon Bernard is also set to sign a new contract.

His commitment to the club might be the final piece of the puzzle before they make more additions, as Danny Rohl has previously stated that he still wants to strengthen the center defence and midfield.

Despite this, Wednesday is anxious to add another attacker to their roster.

It was reported this week that the Yorkshire club was one of three clubs to make bids for Brest winger Karamoko Dembele, who scored 21 goals while on loan at Blackpool last season.

According to the article, Portsmouth and Derby County have also expressed interest in signing the’special’ 21-year-old.

Portsmouth are not in the race for Sheffield Wednesday target ‘at the moment’.

While Rohl has yet to comment on their rumored interest in Dembele, Pompey manager John Mousinho has quickly dismissed speculations of a deal.

Mousinho told The News: “There’s nothing in that at the moment, that’s another one where there’s no preparing or readying a bid!”

The 38-year-old has stated that Pompey has not made an offer for Dembele ‘at the moment’, implying that they may still be interested in the teenager.

However, it still provides Wednesday a significant advantage in their own pursuit of Dembele, since they now have less competition.

The Owls have a massive advantage in the Karamoko Dembele race.

Assuming the rumours about the Owls’ offer are real, they could attempt to close a deal before Pompey and other clubs make their own bids.

Rohl’s team will undoubtedly have an advantage in the race, given that both Derby and Pompey have recently been promoted and are expected to drop straight back down.

Dembele would undoubtedly want regular minutes after such a difficult start to his career, but he will have competition from Jamal Lowe, Olaf Kobacki, Anthony Musaba, and Djeidi Gassama for his spot.

Things have quieted down since it was rumored they had bid for him, but if they decide to go all out for him, it wouldn’t be unexpected if they won the race.
