Our number one transfer target?

Who was it?

"Jamal has been our number one target right the way through the summer," said Blades boss Chris Wilder.

"Richard was our number one target throughout the summer and I'm delighted he has signed,"

Not massively important of course

 

[Esablade]

Jamel was the no.1 target (i.e. goalkeeper), Stearman was our number one target...perfectly clear....

















































(how's that for spin, you'd never guess I used to work of Alastair Campbell...)

 

[Pinchy]

Blackman as no 2 keeper and Stearman as centre-back, I imagine.

 

[Bladesman]

Number one transfer target in that position I assume.

 

[BigBed]

Shame Steerman isn't better, not been impressed with him so far, not as solid as Jake.

 

[blade too long]

nice to have Blackman back , glad hes gone in goal now his goal scoring days are over

 

[Pinchy]

Odd then that he's played at a far higher level than Jake throughout their respective careers. Maybe give it a bit longer?

 

[Smirth]

As everyone else has said, he clearly means in their relevant positions.

Now let's hope we bag the number one striker target whoever that may be.

At least give him a handful of competitive games before judging him...

There weren't too many of those, in truth, were there? Perhaps he should have made the switch earlier in his overwhelmingly non-scoring career?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

When it comes to midfielders it looks like our number 1 target was Ricky Holmes - so it will be nice not to get another number 1 target this time. Will we get our number 2 target I wonder? For more information on this read the Ryan Leonard thread in the Football Rumours section. And by the time you've finished the season will be over.

100%
To be honest Ive liked what I've seen.
I know im in the minority but other than a few lose passes I think hes looked solid.
As for the passes maybe he doesnt know the movement of his new taeam mates very well yet, regaurdless lets judge him in some real games first.

The two misplaced passes against Stoke were clearly because they were on different wavelengths for me.

I'll hang fire on judgement until it matters.

Thinking the same, but who covers the net in case he misses a pen?

 

[Bladezz]

The most stupidest topic started on here for a while.

 

[Snowman]

Not been here long then!

My opinion pal, you can have your own if you prefer!

I can only judge on what I've seen........

But what I said isn't a matter of opinion!

Some people like Jake Wright (as do I), but they see things how they would like them to be, not as they are. It's a common trait on here. We had it last season with Runaround Done. He's now on his way out, as I said he would be.

How have Wilder and Sharp worked out compared with your bladey bladey predictions ?

It is to me.

Of course Blackman was our number one target. He became it the very moment Neal Etheridge signed for Cardiff.

 

[mosbolad]

Anyone?.........

 

[Pinchy]

It is to me.

That Stearman has played at a far higher level than Wright throughout their careers? I would have thought that to be an unanswerable fact?

Then I said "maybe give it a bit longer?". That was it. Nothing more.

Which part do you say is my opinion?

 

[Lard_Lad]

Our actual number one target is yet to be signed

 

[Pinchy]

Anyone?.........

Not on this occasion. Look again at what I said. There was no opinion in it.

I wouldn't use friendlies as a guide... John Cofie was a superstar based on them
