CONFIRMED Jagielka

[Limbs]

Not excited about this at all I just don't get it especially after letting cheap cover like cranie leave who could play 90 minutes at half the wage . Heart ruling the head no from me seems a step back .

Moan if we’d signed Cranie as cheap cover but moan that we didn’t instead of Ex-England Captain with bag loads of Prem experience that we’re lacking and unable to afford who knows SUFC inside out. Ooookkkkaaaay.

It's ok - he's going to be the first to put up his hand and admit he was wrong..l

Pinchy admit he was wrong about something?

Hell freezing over moment

 

[Barney]

Not a signing I would have made but if Wilder wanted him then his judgement should be trusted.

 

[Gimli]

Happy with that!

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Really bored of reading the word ‘experience’. Every other post.

Counts for fuck all if pacy strikers and wingers are tearing past cos your legs have gone.

Skill stamina and pace are what we need from him. Hope he still has it.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Really happy he returned to us, not sure how much he will be involved next season but he certainly has enough experience to share with the other players.

 

[YorkBlade]

Will Jags wear his first ever squad number with the Blades? Can any of you remember what that was?

Was it A) 6 b) 17 c) 24 d) 33 e) 36 f) 40 or g) 44

 

[AlienWoodward]

I assume we won't be signing Henderson now we've Jags..........

Might have been 24 d but could have been 17 c

 

[McGrath]

I’d call it pragmatic rather than cynical. Our defence is strong, one of the areas that we least need to strengthen so we should spend most of our cash on the attack and midfield.

Welcome back Jags. Former hero, bags of experience, leader.

I wish all the negative tools on this thread would sod off some where else. Go festoon Porktalk with your dull, miserable negativity

wow,I was just thinking Paul McGrath best defender I’ve ever seen, so don’t write this one off yet.in reply to west_yorks_blade

I really am underwhelmed by this signing is this Chris Wilder's Dean Hammond moment? Hopefully he will never get a start next season but one thing is for certain the twat owes us not only for that stupid hand ball but because there was never any regret, remorse or apology from him. He got his move to Everton which he always wanted and never gave a fuck about Sheffield United and their fans. I dare say this is probably the first time he has been back and taken an interest in what happened to his old club.
I really don't know why anyone is getting excited by his return if we were still in the Championship then yes but if he ain't good enough for Everton why is he good enough here? Of course the Bladey blade fans say he can be a coach forgetting he has fuck all qualifications to be a coach I have mates more qualified than he is. Mind you we said the same about Morgs, that turned out well didn't it. Then we say McCall, Cowans, Speed, McGrath etc all played on past 35 are we really comparing Jagielka to such players who were truly world class ? Do me a favour. If this is the best we can do it says a fair bit about what Wilder has to spend on players. Lets hope Jags doesn't help us go down like he did last time.

 

[YorkBlade]

17?

He eventually wore that but not on his debut (vs Swindon at the Lane in 00)

 

[YorkBlade]

Might have been 24 d but could have been 17 c

Nope

F) 40

Made one appearance in his debut season. Think he got the #17 the next season and held onto that until he got the #6 in 2004-ish.

How do you know that Jagielka doesn’t have any coaching qualifications?

Edit: and in regards to your ‘not good enough for Everton comment. In a recent poll 83% of Everton fans said they thought Jagielka should have had his contract extended. Seems those who saw him regularly disagree with you (and so does Wilder)

 

[Swannyblade]

And Paul McGrath

And McCall and Shipperly

 

[Greenwich Blade]

When we sold Jags in 2007 part of me hoped he'd be lousy at Everton so we could get him back on the cheap. It only took 12 years but finally my wish has come true.

As for the negative remarks on this thread, I'm really not in the mood to read them. Just thought I'd say.

 

[Balham]

And McCall and Shipperly

And Diego de Girolamooooo

Good trivia question that.
I can remember that game v Burnley when a young Jags played against Gazza

 

[robbiez666]

We need a squad of players for this season. Bringing in an England international who knows the club and has played at the top level for over a decade is a smart move. He's got bags of experience and I'm sure will be helping off the field as well.

Very good, here is the proof: https://www.worldfootball.net/report/championship-1999-2000-sheffield-united-swindon-town/

He wore 21 the following season, 17 after that.

That was later. 2004 maybe? Jags absolutely bossed the midfield that day and I think he scored twice? Wasn't that also the game which ended with Stan Ternant accused Warnock of spying?

EDIT: Jags' goals were in 2002 (they were his first senior goals); Ternant's comments were after a game in 2001.

Possibly, rubbed each other up the wrong way them two, didn’t they?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I found out a couple of weeks back that Jags is a partner in a golf equipment business with my now ex- neighbour!

I shall look out for him when I next play the crazy golf tournament in Skegness.

PS. (Can you pass on any tips about how to get it through the windmill?)

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Lovely feeling watching that vid and hearing the commentary for the Leeds goal

Negative comments are ridiculous, he was excellent for us the first time round, has had a superb career and he provides depth to the squad. Unlikely to start ahead of Egan, but he's excellent cover.
