[WORKSOPBLADE]

Looks like he’s off to Scunny.

Good luck .. played a major part in our promotion.

Or Fleetwood, or Donny or Barnsley...

As I said in the other thread on Jake...

I bloody love Jake, I wouldn't be adverse to him being in our side still, he's brilliantly committed.

Also makes you wonder, our squad has an excellent atmosphere and a fantastic style of play, it must be brilliant to be a part of and it must be disappointing to leave it and go elsewhere. What Wilder and Knill has built is special and unique, it isn't elsewhere.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

He's been an absolute star for us and I wish him all the best wherever he goes .

 

[SUFC Guy]

Once a Blade.....


One of the main reasons for the position we are in now. Absolutely immense for us in L1

Thanks Jake and all the very best.


.....always a Blade

Will be an immense signing for a L1 club.

Will always be remembered by our fans.

Wright has been good for the Blades, just as the Blades have been good for Wright.

Clearly, once promotion was achieved his game time was always going to be limited. Once Stearman arrived it signalled that our manager's mantra of "Being loyal but not sentimental" would prove to be correct. I'm sure Stearman took heed once Egan was signed, such is the way of any club with ambition's to do well. Eventually it will be the same when we find the right player to take the place of Sharp. Maybe, by that time, we'll have sorted out our ownership problems and have enough sense to understand that investment is necessary if we are serious about moving forward.

Wish him all the best, top Blade!

 

[JackSUFC]

Good move for him that.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The most unexpected success story in recent seasons for me. The way he lead the back line was brilliant and he was instrumental in our promotion from L1. All the very best Jake, you will always be welcomed back to Bramall Lane.

 

[Grappler]

The epitome or never getting flustered, never seemingly breaking a sweat at times, a real level headed Mr. Cool, I am sure he goes with all our best wishes.

 

[mancunianblade]

Legs have gone

 

[Boxer Blade]

There had to be one!

 

[Blade58]

Good luck Jake

Sorry I don’t even know. Just felt like 2019 is a matter of hours away and I’ve not made any attempt at trolling this year.. remember when the forum was split into team Stears and Team Jake? Mad times that was

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Best of luck to him great servant in the short time he was here

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Immense for us in League 1,when he signed i thought who is this fella never heard of him,but he was a rock for us.

 

[Stretch]

I will repeat what I have said many times before but I have never seen a Blades defender read the game as well as he did. I always felt so confident that we wouldn't concede with him in the team, he would just sniff out and then snuff out danger and barely seemed to break into a sweat doing it.

I also remember him coming into the team when our defence was in disarray. A few of us on here were calling for it due to his experience and leadership but I don't think any of us could have predicted quite how immense he would turn out to be.

If we had somehow managed to get Deano when we were in league one, with Jake in front I doubt we would have conceded much more than 20 goals.

Really sad to see him go, would love him to stay on and move into coaching with us but it's probably too early whilst he still wants to play and perhaps not realistic for now.

It won't be too long before we are bidding farewell to others from that wonderful promotion team.

 

[SwissBlade]

A real shame to see him go out, as others have said, an excellent player in league one during that promotion season

 

[Mouth of the South]

Played a very important role in the club's recent history. Really don't blame him going elsewhere to seek games but would hope he'd return at some point as I think he'll make an excellent coach.

 

[LJBlade]

Haven’t we only lost 2 or 3 games when he’s played? Not a bad record considering he’s played 46.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

It terms of how little he cost (he was a freebie, right?) and how much he brought to our team, he must be one of our best signings, certainly in recent years.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Actually thought he also did well in this league. Be a great signing for a team fighting relegation.

 

[Sithblade]

Shame he couldn't have a final appearance against Barnet before leaving.
He needs to go to a team who play three centre backs to be in the middle of them; otherwise he'll be no where near as effective in a flat back four.

Very good point SB which is exactly the reason why he didn't look anything special in L1's Oxford's defence and led to his release.

 

[Blade56]

All he best Jake. It will,only be a short step back you are destined for better things. If he's going I'd guess O'conell is staying.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Macca's job must be in jeopardy at Scunny, eased a bit by their victory against Wycombe. Hope Jake is part of the team that gets him out of the mess. Two Blades icons together.

 

[S40BLADE]

From his debut to his performances in the championship last season a class act. GLTTL!
