Again, the season has already started. We have 0 points and two poor performances. We have an ownership saga that is causing all types of shit. We have numerous players looking unfit and out of form.

But because of 2 tweets I'll delete my account from this forum and stop having opinions.

I'm sorry, but why are people so desperate to not allow people to voice an opinion? Things seem pretty shit and nothing that's happened recently seems all that positive.

The Meltdown over today's deadline is disturbing. Am doing my best to educate the wrist-slashers!

It's a location to vent your frustrations about how you feel regarding the club you give a shit about. You might think everything is fine, I don't.

I appreciate the loan market is open and you can do it with a view to buy. That doesn't mean anything the club has done this summer gives me confidence that they'll use it

Best wait until 31st August.

UTB!
 
Ah yes, 'Blades Analytics'.

The newly appointed unquestionable oracle on all things Sheffield United.

Probably thinks the likes of Luke Freeman will be allowed to leave on loan to buy deals doesn't he...
He isnt worth the fee QPR are looking for
 

According to who? Certainly not QPR fans.

He's a player, like Duffy, who'd be absolutely key to our system functioning, and it would be hard to find a more suitable player for that role.
I have seen him play for Stevenage, Bristol City and QPR. Good Championship player but would not cut it in the Premiership
 
Good job we're not in the Premiership then.
I want players who can help us to challenge for a place in the play offs.

I was disappointed that we didnt have Jamal for another season and I am not convinced with Egan too but it is early days. I want a striker with pace and hope we will sign one before the end of this month.
 

Btw I am very disappointed to read this. The Blades Analytics guy does good work and is interesting but this superior attitude does him no credit. Stats are not the be all and end all, particularly when there are so many subjective elements and the football stats business is in its infancy. A little humility goes a long way sometimes.

I thought he was talking sense. Who is he, by the way?
 
I think most people are aware of the rules regarding the window, they just think it's unlikely we will sign anybody of worth with a view to a permanent. We can't afford Championship wages so it's unlikely we will be able to attract Premiership players on a full time basis whilst Championship clubs aren't going to loan us their better players.

I don't think anybody is getting any enjoyment from moaning (maybe one or two) but people are worried. We've been told we have money but the window has shut and we've only paid a fee for one player. With the start we've had and the lack of players that have come in, surely nobody can be surprised with the reaction on here.

I hope this time next week we have a few points on the board and a few signings that have changed the outlook of the squad. It's just that as it stands right now with the season underway, we look like we could be in for a tough season.

Fair points but so far we have played only two matches and they were against teams who were expected to finish above us.

He's chucked a few stats about, talked about them and the fuckwits on Twitter hang on his every word. It's laughable. No surprise to see the ego develop.
 

]We need good Championship players do we not?[/QUOTE]

It depends on which parts of the forum you believe.
Some say we shouldn't pay the inflated prices of established Championship players and wages but try our luck in L1/2 as there are so many that would be instant 11 starters for little money...…
Then others say we don't pay enough for Championship players or wages and we are a joke... but then state that we've overpaid for Egan, Stearman and McGoldrick and they aren't worth it.
Then others say that we should get good loans from Premiership paying part wages, but others would argue they aren't ours and we are developing for others.
