McGugan Would Welcome Permanent Owls Deal

A little piece of Good news for all Wednesdayites, Lewis McGugan has stated he would be open to signing a permanent deal at Sheffield Wednesday after manager Stuart Gray helped ‘put a smile` back on his face.

The playmaker and attacking midfielder is on loan from Championship high flyers Watford, and has a decision to make in the summer, with one year left on his Vicarage Road contract.
McGugan has scored three times and made four assists in his last eight games, setting up two goals in the dramatic late win at Rotherham on Saturday. Unlike some loan signings McGugan was involved and clearly delighted to be involved in the celebrations for all three of Wednesday’s goals on Saturday at the New York stadium.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, McGugan said
‘If Sheffield Wednesday and Watford can do a deal, then brilliant, but it`s up to the clubs. I can only concentrate on playing well on the pitch.
At this point in time I`m playing week in week out, I have a smile back on my face, and that`s the most important thing. The manager has been fantastic for me, really straight. You know exactly what he wants from you. He gives you the platform to go out and perform and it`s up to you to repay the faith.’

The fans have clearly taken to Lewis McGugan and his words to the Daily Mail will be music to a lot of fans ears.
He went onto tell the Daily Mail that his spell at Hillsborough has refreshed his enjoyment for the game after a difficult period at Watford under five different head coaches since joining in July 2013.

He made his first loan move to Wednesday last November and signed again in the winter window.
‘I could have easily sat there and seen what happens but you know when you`re not really in someone`s plans and I want to play football,` he said. Knowing this manager has 100 per cent faith in me to go out and perform can only build confidence. Hopefully I can have a strong end to the season and see what happens.’

As seen with former loan players like Ben Marshall, Benik Afobe, and Royston Drenthe in recent times. Unfortunately his form for Wednesday hasn’t gone unnoticed and reportedly a number of clubs are interested in signing McGugan in the upcoming summer transfer window.
