Sheffield United loanee David Cotterill has said his long-term future lies with parent club Wigan Athletic.

The Wales international is on loan at Bramall Lane until the end of the season, but will return to the Premier League side in the summer.

"Steve Bruce said I still had a future at Wigan," the 20-year-old forward told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I can't decide my own future because I'm contracted to Wigan and they'll decide things. It's up to them."

Cotterill has started 11 games for the Blades since joining in February, but has yet to score.

But he is hoping to grasp his opportunity with the Latics next season.

"You never know in football what will happen," added Cotterill. "[Antonio] Valencia is playing very well at the moment for Wigan.

"I just feel I need to get back in there, see if I get a chance and then take it."

He was shit anyway

Well he has to say that, they still hold his contract!

Tecnichally he doesn't

 

[beightonblade]

No big loss in my opinion...too 'lightweight' and 'chicken'....SUFC can do better.

 

[Foxy]

In the full interview that I heard the audio on... He also went on to state that he has no control over his future as all the cards are with the club who own him.

He didn't seem to commit either way.

"He didn't seem to commit either way."

Any player stuck between two clubs would be daft to pick one.

I'd like to see us sign him. I think he's a good, pacey winger who gets decent crosses in (and some poor ones too, but no one is perfect 100% of the time).

He set Sharpy up for his header today against Burnley

More news on Cotterill from Beeb

Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell has yet to decide whether to launch a summer bid to buy David Cotterill.

The Wigan wide man is currently on loan at Bramall Lane, but his future under former Blades boss Steve Bruce at the JJB Stadium is unclear.

"We've got a decision to make on many things, including Cotterill," Blackwell told BBC Radio Sheffield.

Agree 100%, he is one of the best wingers iv seen in a long time, and he always seems to take the piss out of the oppositions left back

 

[The One]

Read in the paper today (can't remember which one) that Blackwell is going to bid 1million. Good price i'd say.
