KEVIN Blackwell will hold talks with John Halls and David Cotterill later this week before deciding whether to sign them on a permanent basis.
The Sheffield United manager confirmed after Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Southampton that he has already drawn up a list of transfer targets as he looks to continue the progress shown since his arrival in February.
Halls, Blackwell's sole signing since returning to Bramall Lane, and Cotterill, recruited by Blackwell's predecesso , Bryan Robson, have both emerged as important figures since completing loan moves from Reading and Wigan Athletic respectively.
Versatile Halls, aged 26, is poised to become a free agent when his contract at the Madejski Stadium expires this summer.
Cotterill, 20, was substituted during the first half of the game at St Mary's - which marked the end of United's brave bid for the Championship play-offs - but his poor performance against Nigel Pearson's side is unlikely to influence Blackwell's thinking as he looks to inject some pace into his squad.
