Good to know you're safe and well. Thanks for your summer contributions Richard, hope you have a nice Christmas.

The way I read it is that players can still go out to a league with an open window, so we could still have players going out to leagues 1 & 2 on loan until 2nd September (when their window shuts).

I may be way off, it's not that clear

I stand corrected!

“League One and League Two clubs can still buy players right up to the actual transfer deadline on 2 September, while Championship clubs can at least still do loan deals until that date.”

 

[sheepbridge]

I wouldnt be bothered about him now.
His agent has pretty much scuppered his chance of playing in the EPL. (At least until Jan)
Now unfit and seemingly not in the right frame of mind.

Which the Brentford fans will be on here to tell is all our fault no doubt, even though we never put a bid in for him.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

As is apparent to all, McBurnie just hinges on the medical now, can’t see there been any problems. Few legal problems surrounding the keeper so not sure what’s going to happen there. Maupay and his agent now touting themselves around again as the higher end interest never materialised but think we’ve moved on to be fair. Think there could also be one, maybe two more in before the window closes, but lots of hush hush at the moment and no names standing out as firm to report on. If I hear anything I’ll post, if not see you in January. UTB.

I’d shit myself laughing if Maupay rocks up unfit for Brentford and scores about 5 goals next season.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Really don't want to be the voice of Doom & Gloom here but everything seems to going a little too well with regard to our pre-season Transfers.
This is Sheffield United we're talking about after all.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong (and if I am wrong I'll be getting my knob out) but just got that typical 'Sheffield United Type' feeling that there's about to be some kind of sting in the tale . . . . . . . . . . . Please No!!!

Best way to avoid that "sting in the tale (sic) " is to keep your knob in your keks

He's completely f**ked himself up. He heard his name banded around with Villa/ West Ham and thought he's too good for us. If he stays and fails to replicate last season then his big money move will be down the pan.

Babe in arms! In my over fifty-seven years , the only window that comes close was January 1971. Our great manager - John Harris - knew we needed a re-shuffle and brought in John Hope, Trevor Hockey and David Ford. We'd just sold John Tudor to Newcastle, the fans were (rightly) pissed off but signing these three (especially Hockey) was a game-changer. There were 17 games of the season left, we lost only two and were promoted back to the top flight.

I was upset about Tudor leaving. My dad hadn't planned in going to our next away game (Oxford) but decided to go and my disappointment got eased. We won 2-1 and I was surprised to see that one of our new signings sported a beard!

Few months later

Maybe 1 or 2 more in before the end of the window (after mcburnie). We're not fuckin messing about are we

Yes wilder is not taking this season seriously

30 goals in 71 games for us. There used to be a football progamme on Yorkshire TV on the Friday night and Tudor was a guest. The presenter (Fred Dineage?) asked John if he thought he'd score in United match the following day. 'Oh, I'll score all right.'

In your pic., David Ford (to Cec Coldwell's left) didn't really work out but he appeared on 'It's A Knockout' representing Sheffield around that time - Eddie Waring et al. This programme used to feature the likes of Minehead v Weston-Super-Mare in front of one man and his dog. The 'Sheffield' one was held at - I think - Norfolk Park and got a crowd of 55,000.

Great pic. BTW. What a team. 48 years ago and I can still name all of them.

[Jackson Blade]

Seen that Newcastle and West Brom are ‘keeping tabs’ on Connor Coady. Think he’d be the final peice for me.

JOC to Leicester for £25 million
Fleck to West Ham for £10 Million

How does that sound?

 

[norfolkblade]

Don't worry, there's still a risk of us signing a keeper from a bent club and getting embargoed for it.

I'm passed the doom and gloom. I can't wait!

I didn't realise we were in for Westwood?

 

[Davalon]

Barring an unforeseen dagger to the heart in the next week you can't do anything but doff your cap to the owners, scouts, and management team this summer.

I've been hugely critical at times over the years with short-sighted sales and perceived lack of ambition but this summer is surpassing my expectations.

Most sensible deals with the big money spent on young players who should improve.

I haven't got a crystal ball or a strong opinion on how this season will pan out but at this point its just a big well done to all concerned.

 

[BushBlade]

Ownership?

Yes but the people who look for things to go wrong all the time, the type who say ‘happy birthday, you’re a year closer to death’ aren’t really welcome at this party. Let’s just enjoy the next couple of weeks without listing stuff that could go wrong.

I am loving the moment, I am not looking for things to go wrong, always been an optimist, the question, although a little tongue in cheek was after the best window only united could spoil it, the only thing that sprung to mind was the ownership issue, not trying to spoil the moment

Totally agree, if we fail, and I dont think we will as I'm laying us heavily on Betfair to go down, it wont be for lack of backing in the transfer window.

Dont want to speak too soon but the signings aligned with the fact none of our better players has left makes this the best window ever

That sounds about as welcome as sitting on one of your own testicles.
And for now I am just wallowing in the joy of the best summer recruitment I can remember.
I may be forced into a minor worry session if posts like yours are repeated.

Now that would be excellent!

 

[Mouth of the South]

Almost need to pinch myself when I look at who has joined the squad over the summer. Hard to believe how much the team and club have progressed since CW took over and that's it only just over 3 years ago that Adkins was leading the walk of shame.

As others have stated, the other pleasing thing is that nobody has left that wasn't made available - again quite the change from worrying about approaches for JOC and Fleck <12 months ago.

Let's hope the club can continue to match CW's ambitions as his success certainly won't have gone unnoticed by the big clubs. In fact as much as it pains me to say, I could see him ending up at Man Utd in the next 5 years, given the relationship he and Utd have forged with their links.

In five years time Man U could be begging Wilder to get them out of the championship.

Wont happen with Wilder at the helm.

RC: "Maupay and his agent now touting themselves around again as the higher end interest never materialised but think we’ve moved on"

Oh that is satisfying

What, that you don't look to be signing your "No.1 Target" for this transfer window?

Strange cause for satisfaction, I'd have thought.

Still, if we can manage to keep him until the window shuts, which is looking increasingly likely, then that will be our "No.1 Target" achieved.

Which would be satisfying indeed.

We’ve finally finally spent the Maguire, Walker, Adams and co money! So only spent about £20mil
