He gave us width and pace, that prerequisite of a complete team, and we have missed that ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at this point I would prefer no signings than reaching the bottom of the list saying we better go for this lad then just to roll a new signing out. Signing players can be like buying houses, you’re stuck in a chain, sometimes things just don’t work out no matter how hard you try. Probably read it a few times, but just a little taster of how mad a day like today is... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2730888-a-day-in-the-life-of-sheffield-united-boss-chris-wilder-on-transfer-deadline-day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 To say we want to conclude business early, only to go on and sign absolutely nobody is an embarrassment. I feel for Cocu, because he’s been woefully let down by everyone involved, totally inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for Cocu, because he’s been woefully let down by everyone involved, totally inept. Exactly my thoughts. The Benkovic saga is ridiculous. We should have moved on weeks ago to our second target. It’s the Derby Way. If we let another first team/fringe player leave without bringing anyone in that would be laughable. Failure to bring anyone in coupled with anything but a win tonight and things may begin to take a turn for the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that Ravel Morrison is a diamond in the rough is one of the biggest scams in modern football. Before he turned up at Sheffield United he was decidedly average in Sweden. He's hardly played for United. If Chris Wilder can't get anything out of the guy it's probably time to accept that he isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarterForTen Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm coming round to thinking that we are actually operating under a self imposed 'soft transfer embargo', in that the EFL charge could dramatically change our Profit and Sustainability status for this season and we have had to put the brakes on. Putting any potential punishment for a guilty verdict to one side for a minute, perhaps of greater concern to the DCFC bean counters is that if the profit booked against the sale of the stadium is now rejected, or at least reduced, that is going to shift the profit recorded last season - perhaps even into a loss. Given that P&S adherence is based on a three year rolling return, the headroom we thought we had this season might be heavily eroded and we can no longer make provisions for incoming players. That would account for the seeming change in stance to to the transfer window at the start of January to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
