Sheffield Wednesday consider permanent move for former Blues captain
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to make a permanent move for defender Harlee Dean this summer, according to a report on Yorkshire Live.
Dean spent the second half of last season on loan for The Owls as they just missed out on promotion back to the Championship.
It is understood the club are monitoring Dean’s situation as they look to bolster their back line in time for the new campaign.
However, the stumbling block for any deal would be the 30-year-old’s wages as he is understood to currently be on around £20,000-a-week.
Dean has been held in high regard by the Owls fans since his move up North. Playing in the middle of the back three, he quickly found his feet in League One before sustaining two separate calf injuries which meant he made only eight starts and one substitute appearance in all competitions.
Dean also featured in both legs of the League One play-off semi-final against Sunderland which ended in heartbreak.
Surplus to requirements, Blues fans will be hoping Dean can be offloaded and more suitable replacements can be brought in with the wages freed up.
Personally I’d rather keep Harlee and get rid of Roberts!
I agree keep Harley and sell Roberts
Yes sell Roberts,he’s always been a carthorse whereas Dean does posses some skill,while wer are on can we get rid of Jukiewitz,Hogan,Cosgrove ,Leko and Deeney who thinks more about his media career than football these days.
Close the club down its abloody embarrisment
78 years ve followed this lot come on solihull moors
All look good when we was winning , but when losing all got no bottle
Sunderland for ever
