‘Hope this is a joke’ – Many Sheffield Wednesday fans react to emerging transfer news
Sheffield Wednesday are plotting a shock move to re-sign defender Sam Hutchinson, according to the Daily Mirror.
Hutchinson was released by the Owls at the end of last season following seven seasons and more than 150 appearances for the Hillsborough outfit.
Less than four months later, the 31-year-old was snapped up by Cypriot outfit Pafos, where he’s featured six times.
However, the Mirror believe that Tony Pulis is keen on bolstering his defensive department with the signing of the former Chelsea centre-back, and although Hutchinson himself would be open to return to Hillsborough, the Owls endured problems with paying players wages back in November, which could prove a stumbling block.
Quiz: Did these 25 players make more or less than 100 Sheffield Wednesday appearances?
Despite sitting 23rd in the current Championship standings, Wednesday have conceded just 21 goals in their 20 league matches, and have other priorities in January – with Pulis’ men only finding the net just 11 times up the other end.
The Wednesday faithful would appear to share those views, and have had their say on Twitter to the prospect of Hutchinson re-joining:
Sam was such an important part of our team under Carlos but that was 5 years ago. His injury and disciplinary record isn't what we need right now. We need fit and available players week in week out. It's a no from me

Of all players from the Carlos period they want to bring back Hutchinson? Can start with Alex Lopez, Ross Wallace, Gary Hooper, Jack Hunt, Vincent Sasso, Fernando Forestieri first!

Leave him in the past we are looking to bring back another deep lying midfielder why?
