House repairs are definitely more interesting than the OP.

I think chuck norris would approve.

 

[Superblades]

Go on then, I'll stick my head on the line and say that he's going to be a great signing for us and will score some crucial goals.

UTB

I'd you need any tiling done, I hear Mick Rooker is the man to ask.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

If we're paying 200k, Bradford have had our pants down, but if he's here, lets get behind him and hope that he proves his doubters (including me) wrong.

Have to say the last couple of results, especially Gillingham with Wilder sticking to the same team, plus this signing have me doubting Chris for the first time this season, hope its just Blades fan anxiety/negativity, and we produce a crushing performance against Fleetwood and I can breathe easily!

 

[McGrath]

I'm happy enough with this signing. One of the main outcomes of the Bolton cup defeat was that we weren't physical enough, this signing solves that issue.

If we need a sledgehammer in the last 30 minutes of a game when they've parked the bus, then I can't think of many better at this level. We can't always pass through teams and even if doesn't score many, any he'll cause havoc in the box.

Also, set pieces, we're a big threat already with EEL, JO'c and Basham, imagine chucking him in there as well.

 

[Stretch]

For fuck sake. What a waste of money.

We might be in a position to judge that after he has played for us a few times, rather than before he has kicked a ball?

 

[Pinchy]

I did yeah , just thought I'd let everyone know he's Guna be announced tomorrow

Who is Guna? A Nigerian international?

 

[Anston Blade]

Welcome to BDTBL James. I hope you continue to impose yourself like you always have done when you have played here. UTB

 

[sitwell]

For fuck sake. What a waste of money.

Lets be right ,is there any player we have signed you have not said that about ?

 

[Liaminho9]

Go in then, I'll be the first one to post his goal montage.

See post #159...

What's the point in signing a 6"4 striker when our crosses go in at 5"10 straight at the first defenders head

Sounds like an Arsenal fan with a shit fake cockney accent.

[John Street]

Some of my good pals are Wendyites, and they've said for years the way they got out of League one is to have big b*stards, who can bully the opposition mixed in with some football talent. I think we do lack some real presence upfront, and Hanson (as mainly an impact player) can do this job. Everytime we've played Bradford and his names is on the teamsheet I've always been slightly worried as he causes problems for defenders for 90 minutes. If he had signed for Bolton or Scunny, I would have thought decent signing that, a totally different option with good attributes (strength/aerial ability). 'Could' be a shrewd bit of business imo.

 

[HoodedClaw]

Has potential to be a decent signing for us this season, I'm intrigued as to what impact he has on our style of play.

Going to be really fucking pissed off if Hanson being on the pitch makes our players lazy and start hoofing it, if we play as we have been doing then I can see him being something we've been missing.

According to this forum, any other team that signs a player (good or bad) is a decent signing, but when SU sign someone his ability seems to come into question...you guys may have seen him play, but he's not played under the guidance of Mr Wilder, so FFS lets see what he's like before we get into a hissy fit!!

Don't think Wilder will throw away what he's built,just adding something that's been missing (height &muscle) good management.

I agree about Wilder. I'm more worried about the players taking the "easy" option, like what happened earlier in the season when Clarke was on the pitch.

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

I think I'll wait & see what Wilder & Knill can do with him before I pass judgement.
I remember jumping in with both feet against Neil Shipperley when I saw him play in a pre season friendly down at Matlock. It was the utter size of him, especially up close down at Causeway Lane that made me think we'd dropped a right clanger. (I think a young Billy Sharp may have scored in that game too .... anyone ? ).
Needless to say, so I shall say it, we looked far better with Shipperley in the side that season than when he was out of it.

The reason our crosses have been going in at 5' 10" straight to defenders, heads is because all our current strikers are currently 5' 9".

 

[Stretch]

I don't see us changing our style of play at all. We will still predominantly play on the deck but the difference will now be an aerial threat for crosses and another for corners.

Hanson seems to win everything in the air as well so on the odd occasion that anything that is launched up it should find his head. If he can develop an understanding with Sharp and Lavery then happy days as far as I am concerned.

Totally agree mate. If any players just started to lump it (unless it's the last few minutes and we need a goal), then Wilder will sort them out.

I think some are worrying unnecessarily, he's not going to change our style going into the last 3 months of the season and the team doing well. Hanson gives us another option up front, and one that we've needed for years. Hanson will be the striker Higdon and Sammon should have been but never were.
