Its great mate isn't it! Far too often in the past we've been waiting right till the end of the window to sign some guy on loan to patch up the squad whereas now we're going for it early and signing players with a point to prove. Players who can't quite get in a team above like O'Connel was who are desperate to succeed or the lads from Leagues One and Two who have done so well for other teams like Stephens, Duffy ,Fleck etc.

It is great. Especially for us transfer obsessives because you can trust our management to get it right and we're consistently linked with the right types of players, and do business at the right time.

It also highlights how ridiculously incompetent we have been in the past though.

Wilder's pro active approach isn't rocket science. It makes you wonder why previous regimes couldn't come close to replicating it.
 
For that price it's a low risk.

Ok, he's come from league two where let's be honest from the clips he was up against some right turkeys at times!

But, if he has a swagger, a determined head on him and a desire to continue to do what he is good at he might prove a good addition to the squad. A lot of football is in the head and it's strong characters that get to the top as well as the most talented.

Also amsign that we might be about to mix things up more with our tactics. We haven't really got a player who can run and beat players. Whether he has the pace and skill to trouble championship players we don't know. But I think he was at Sunderland as a kid...and they have a very good youth set up so he would have had something about him to be there.
 
Not slagging this as a bad signing at all. But how come 300k for a relegated league 2 winger is a good deal, yet 500k for Evans and we've been ripped off?
Probably because Evans has hardly played for the few years and did little this year other than start well.
 
Sky Sports News reporting that we have bid £300k for Hartlepool winger Nathan Thomas.
 



Lads a new member....takes time to get used to the rules.

But, I guess this is just another thread to link to the other one in the rumours section.

Maybe he was confronted by a couple of pissed up pricks on a night out and told them to do one.
Not so long back, fans were criticising the attitude of a certain Freeman and Coutts.

Not going to worry about what a few fans say, more than happy to trust our managers opinion over theirs.
 
His YouTube clips make him look like a very exciting player. Exactly the type we want to try and bring in. Fulham interested shows the boy has taken and has been spotted.

Runs at people with pace, we seem to be signing a very quick team at this rate.

Looks an excellent addition.
 
A) We can't afford proven championship quality... you're talking 5-10 mill for established players.
B) if you're a top 6/8 team player would you come to newley promoted Sheffield United?
C) I don't think there is a massive difference between a 500k player and a 3/4mill player anymore (they're just a little more proven).
D) spunk 4mill on 1 'average' championship player or do a Barnsley and scatter gun 4mill on 6/8 league 1/2 players.

We need to have a little luck with transfers, and I never thought I'd say it but I think we should follow Barnsleys model.
