Speaking four days into the winter transfer window, the Wednesday manager made the admission following a late December press conference in which he made public he and Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri were yet to discuss the scope for January activity. Those conversations have yet to take place.
Wednesday drew with Millwall on Saturday to stay in touch with the Championship play-off places and Röhl has suggested the addition of ‘impact players’ in key areas can help them ‘push for more’ heading into the second half of the season. Wednesday tend to operate slightly unusually in the transfer market in that no set budget is defined for transfer window, with deals signed off by bankroller Chansiri on a case-by-case basis. Röhl says he and the club’s recruitment team have identified potential targets.
Speaking to The Star after the Millwall match, Röhl was asked if the club were in contact with any clubs with regard to potential incoming deals for new players. “At the moment no,” he said. “At the moment we have our list, we look, and then let’s see what we can do.”
“Let’s see what we can do in the market,” he said. “In 11 days you can ask maybe someone from the club about this. They (the fans) can do this. This is also interesting. We will prepare, we will look. We have an open mind on what we can do with the transfer market. We have 15 days to recover this is important. This was a tough period and we took some good points, from the last six we took 11. It could be today 13 and we would be sat here today very happy.”
