Player Suggestion Danny Ward

[Addison]

Hope so. This could open the door for him to come here next season.

Would be a very good signing shame we can't keep him longer than three games.

When he saved that diving twat foresteri's penalty and the camera focuses on his face as he realises hes let down his millions of fansstill cracks me up

I'm a fan of him already

[Yellarbellyblade]

Wasn't he the one who saved Forestieri's pen?

If so, GET THE FUCK IN.

Already a Blades legend!!!

 

[Esablade]

...just to think, t'owd Carlos would have been ploughing his trade in the Premier League if not for that lad...

 

[mancunianblade]

Very very good keeper. Arguably better than what we have.

 

[Ricky]

How much would he cost to buy? Do Liverpool see any future for him there?

It's always worth investing in a quality keeper.

 

[Booker4]

Already a Blades legend!!!

He'll get a great reception on Saturday if he comes! Similar to Andy Linighan! That's Andy, Andy Andy Linighan for those that were there - and he didn't even play for us!

I thought his dream was to bring a Premier League club to Hillsborough. Mission accomplished.

This report seems to have come from Blades Mad.

I don’t know if United have sounded out the player and spoken to Liverpool. The process starts with United contacting the EFL to ask permission for an emergency 7 day loan (that can be extended every 7 days).

The clause says you have to have no professional keepers available. Obviously Moore is suspended but you have to have medical reports on the others. Do they now know Blackman won’t recover from his groin injury ? Does Eastwood not count as a professional keeper? He’s signed a professional contract as far as I know.

I’m confused but Chris will no doubt clarify in his press interview tomorrow.

The clause does seem harsh in that just one fit keeper means an Academy keeper must go on the bench and theoretically they could play if whoever starts gets injured. But it does say no professional keepers available.

Keepers count as a professional if they've made 5 appearances in the first team within a certain period of time.

Also Blackman has been really active on Instagram, looks perfectly fit to me...

 

[ThatJa]

Also this..



Interestingly, the comments suggest Liverpool fans would rather send us Mignolet. No thanks

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Very very good keeper. Arguably better than what we have.

Don't think there's much of an argument there

 

[sheffielder]

I wonder whether this was what wilder was winking about at the Kev chat when he said he was more interested in what happened tomorrow...

 

[mancunianblade]

Don't think there's much of an argument there

I reckon he will put in a few solid performances and the usual noises of gerrim signed up and no ambition when he goes back. Think the rules state the loan can only cover the duration of Injury/suspension whichever is shortest. have a feeling Blackman won't be rushed back to full fitness.

 

[mancunianblade]

They told Huddersfield he wasn't for sale. But I suspect things will be much different next summer. think this was the make or break season for him at Anfield

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Was brilliant that, he was totally at a loss what it was about

 

[Balham]

If he leaves Liverpool I'd imagine they'd want at least £5m. He'll sign for a lower end Premiership side or a top end Championship side with a lot more money than us.

 

[stringer]

Can't happen. Jake is fit, so emergency loan not permitted. Shame, would be a good option

 

[SteveBlade]

Seems odd that they'd consider bending the rules because our first choice keeper decided to get himself sent off.

 

[SUFC Guy]

 

[Grappler]

The lad had some pace, remember him racing the full length of the pitch and his team mates struggling to catch him

 

[UnitedBlade]

Bending what rules ? Suspensions are included as a reason why you might need an emergency goalkeeper. Who else would you play in goal Carruthers ?

Sir Andrew Linighan ,if you don't mind.

 

[Bradwaymac]

We may have to recall George

 

[sheffielder]

We may have to recall George

Not possible outside the transfer window

 

[sheffielder]

Silent says it’s because he hasn’t played 5 league games? Does that not matter then?

 

[JohnStreet]

How do we pronounce his name is it Ward like hospital ward or Ward like Wards best bitter?!

 

[Bartleby]

While it does cover suspensions it looks like we can't get one in if I am interpreting this extract correctly from the EFL rules at https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/section-6---players/ (my italics)

55 Emergency Goalkeeper Loan

55.1 If all the Professional Goalkeepers at a Club are unavailable as a result of having been:

55.1.1 certified by an independent medical practitioner as being unfit to play;

55.1.2 suspended; or

55.1.3 called up to play for his national association representative matches in accordance with the requirements of FIFA as laid down from time to time, a Club may register (either before or after the deadlines laid down in Regulation 41.6 and 41.7), a further goalkeeper on a short term basis

 

[BigBed]

Eastwood it is then.
