Player Suggestion Stephen Quinn

I'd rather have Monty back than him - he threw the towel in and starting weeping when things didn't go our way in that crucial game against Stevenage. He bottled it - Chris Wilder will know it and not go near any players like him.
 

I'd love some suggestions as to what we do if Coutts and Fleck get injured.

Quinn is better than Lundstram, with premier league and championship experience and still only 31.

The people who didn't rate Quinny while he was at the lane will be the ones against this, and they were just as crazy then. Good player, and got me an able deputy for Fleck.

We won't find anyone as good as him to deputise for him but Stephen ain't far off
 
Not what we need at all. Big problems with both knees last season so barely played in the last 10 months.

No chance he will be on any list Mitchell / Wilder has.
 
Would not be against this! As cover for coutts or fleck if we can't get leonard this window. Next summer Leonard is free and with the improvement in Whiteman we have good potential options. So to offer depth till then why not quinny he is a 100 percenter with good experience and wouldn't cause issues on our bench and do a job if called upon. It may come down to wages

Sorry but this is an awful suggestion. We all fondly remember Quinny, he was a good servant to the club but we have no reason to look back at the moment.

We have a number of midfield players that are currently better than him and frankly, if a team at our level is looking to move him on then is he really of the required quality to help us progress?

We do need a midfield player, but one completely different in style to Quinn and to be honest one a lot younger with resale value as well.

Don't think its a good suggestion but a back up for Fleck? A wind up surely?

No disrespect to him but we've moved on. We can do a lot better. Even someone younger that maybe isn't as good as Quinn but with lots of potential to improve would be a better option and surely there are plenty out there that could meet that criteria.

It seems too easy for some of our supporters to just suggest former players because we know them. Jags, Quinny, McDonald etc etc. all players of yesterday and many of the ones that get suggested played in United sides that failed. The current cropped achieved something. Why sign players that ultimately achieved nothing for us the first time around (yes before anyone jumps on it, I know I mentioned Jags and he is one of few exceptions).

My point was more about the players he would be good cover far rather than anything he could add. Unless his style has changed significantly, covering for Fleck or Coutts isn't his game at all.
 
As soon as someone offers "knows the club" as a quality, I realise they're struggling to justify a bit of Bladey-Bladeness and I'm out. Similarly, the parochial proposition that our Squinny would be 100% up for the move matters not a shade of an S2 jot.

This is yet another player that would not be seriously suggested had he not played (elpediton under semipro) for us in the past.

Let his eighth game in two seasons be somewhere else. We'll manage.
 
Quinn played on the left of a 3 man midfield for Hull, which I always thought would be his best position. He did well for them, they rated him highly and he was an important player in that team that won promotion. I think playing under Blackwell did him a bit of a disservice, he's always been a good footballer.

He's a fair bit older now though and has had injuries. Assuming he's in good condition he'd be a decent signing, he could cover for Fleck, Duffy and give us a left midfield option for 4-4-2. He's a hardworking player with a good attitude and would be a reliable squad player for anyone in this division.

Signing him (or anyone) on loan would be positive in that it would leave the door open for Whiteman, who will be first team starting 11 standard in the near future IMO. He'll compete for Coutts' place along with Lundstram.

I'd prefer someone younger and more athletic than Quinn though.

I suspect we will use a combination of Lundstram, Basham and Carruthers to cover. Not ideal but Coutts and Fleck are very good players so it's difficult to have good enough back ups available as there aren't many players like them about.

At his best for us, Quinn didn't play the roles that either Coutts or Fleck currently do. I'd prefer to put my faith in our younger, new signing, John Lundstram.
 

I thought he'd retired by now. It's a no from me even with my degree of Bladymcbladeface bladeyness.
 
The bastard scored against us at Wembley and celebrated, end of.

Good player but wouldn't do anything to solve the lack of pace, power and height in our squad. Similar to Duffy.

He was actually very restrained in his celebrations, considering he had just scored on one of the biggest stages in football and put his side on the brink of their 1st major final ever (and almost guaranteed European football with it).

In terms of his signing, I tend to agree with the majority on here, leave it alone. Had he not played for us in the past I don't think there would be much clamour for his signing. Returning players always come with some intangible baggage which inevitably affects supporter's expectations. Sometimes they come off (Keith Edwards for example) but they are usually exceptional players and exceptional circumstances.

Squinny was a decent and honest player for us, and may I be among the 1st to auger the most fruitful of fortune to the lad.
 
Absolutely not for me - I have never rated him. I admired his attitude and that he always gave 100% but IMO he ran around like a headless chicken, slowed play down too much and regularly wasted possession by giving the ball away cheaply.
.
I really can't see how he'd improve the starting 11 or squad were he to join. TBH I rated his brother more and would prefer Whiteman to return as he's much more the sort of player Utd need (as cover for PC and JC in the first instance)
 
not the signing we need, his loan fee and wages could go to better options, for us we need a striker or two. By all accounts Sinclair is about signed and ready to be unveiled. I still think we need another striker to compete now lavery is out for a couple of months and we could certainly do with some more pace in the side. I think a big coup for us is if we still have young David Brooks with us by the end of the week. I think CW has been holding back putting him on as not to draw too much attention to the lad, he has enough interest as it is. I reckon he will be unleashed once the transfer window ends this week. wouldn't surprise me if Ryan Leonard finally gets done this week along with Sinclair and possibly one more that wilder will pull out of nowhere.
 
I'd say we don't need him and he doesn't better what we already have.

Don't make me laugh, Basham?! He wasn't capable in League One as a centre mid nevermind the championship. Carruthers doesn't have the positional awareness.

As he's got older he's played centre mid quite often, I don't think we'll do much better.
We only need a years loan, not a permanent signing because Ben Whiteman is improving so much that he'll be hard to ignore in a years time. If that isn't Quinn fair enough but I'm struggling to think of other options who we could get in as competition for a year who'd be as good as him. We won't be able to improve on Coutts and Fleck without spending upwards of £3million.

That's the key for me, is he still in good condition? Suppose only our fitness team could answer that

Attributes wise he's got everything for me that we'd want in midfield right now.
Championship and Prem experience, International experience, hard worker, bit of bite, great passer and up for a battle. Could cover 3 positions where we're light, centre mid, attacking mid and wide.

I understand your last line, but don't think we'll be able to do it without opening the chequebook. With Whiteman improving like he is I don't really want us to do that.

As for some of the replies... Well, only Blades could turn their nose up at an international due to the fact he used to play for us. Fact is he was our best player bar Ched in that first season, when everyone else hid Quinny never shied away.
Twice the player his big brother was.

Isn't Lee Williamson a free agent now? If we're looking backwards we might as well get him in 'enall.

Ones 31, the same age as Jake Wright, with recent premier league and international experience.
One is 35 with injury troubles.

Stupid comparison.

Who had more championship appearances last season?


EDIT: Although this really isn't a serious suggestion.
