Owls look to raid Hammers rejects

According to the mail online, Gary Megson is trying to secure the loan signings of West Ham misfits Benni Mccarthey and Herita Ilunga. McCarthy has failed to impress for the hammers but was no so long ago one of the hottest properties in the Premier League. Whereas Ilunga has been taken out of the Hammers squad which means he is ineligible to play in the Premier League for the rest of the season, making a loan move elsewhere the likelihood for the Congolese left back. Apparently Megson has been given permission by Milan Mandaric to cover the bulk of the players wages and Megson is reported to have said 'We are trying to get both players in and the two clubs have been in dialogue for a few days.'

Ambitious attempted loan signings from Gary Megson which could work a treat especially with the Owls crying out for a new left back. McCarthy could add an extra threat up front, if the rumours are true, a gamble is certainly what this attempt would be called, but if it comes off, and pays off, Megson is a genius. This news comes after a positive result on the south coast which sees the Owls keep their first clean sheet in 12. More and more optimism is growing under Gary Megson as he continues to experiment with formation and selection and give the players the harsh reality check they truly needed!
