Aye
But the big(ger) news is Glyn Hodges left foot relationship with his paramour appears to be on the skids given his lack of confirmation of this.
It appears she came home in the early hours after a(nother) night on the lash with her Sky TV buddies - he got in a huff & slept on the sofa - she’s refusing to talk him & unwilling to provide any (more?) ITK (?) info

Both refusing to comment on suggestions that a Mr J White will be cited in divorce proceedings beyond stating- Fuck Off😳

I didn't even realise they had signed him. Fantastic signing for them. Fairplay. A bit annoyed that we didn't take a punt on him considering he's a free and loads of prem experience.

Ross Barkley is the biggest myth in football. If he finally pulls it all together, fair play to him, but I’m happy we steered clear of that one.
 
I really would have hoped that we were working hard on this one over the weekend, and yesterday too. Maybe we were....?

We are working hard on this one today. And we are working hard for it to not include a buyback. Wouldn't be surprised if we make a breakthrough this evening/early tomorrow. Tommy Doyle close too. Both should be buys not loans if we can get the fee right on this one.

I can't keep up with who's called what correctly as an ITK anymore, though I do remember the high profile Ndiaye error so pretty sceptical (though appreciative) on your info since..
However, if you're right, I'm very curious as to our plan.

Doyle isn't a creative midfielder and has never performed to a high level anywhere other than centrally.
We've also all seen Souza's stats, they're as defensive as you can possibly imagine and he doesn't seem to have progressive passes in his locker.
Hamer, is an all rounder. He has goal contributions in his locker but he certainly isn't what you'd describe as an out and out attacking midfielder.
So what's the balance?
Are we going to play with a double-pivot?

To me, the biggest issue facing this side is goals.
Hamer addresses the gap that Berge's left.
Archer would upgrade the CF area.
But nobody has replaced Ndiaye and McAtee. Tillman or Akpom would have gone some way to resolving that issue, Cole Palmer could still come in (though it looks unlikely now). Where are we going to find our mobile, line-breaking AMs?

If we have money, I really think those resources should be ploughed into that area rather than another deeper midfielder.

Me too. I recall him being decent for a season or two at Everton, and he did ok on loan for the Pigs, but has been utterly average the rest of the time, and is well past his best now.

I think he has some useful attributes and experience but I also agree he was overhyped. I would prefer to see him in midfield instead of bash/ozzy personally. Even his disappointing spell in France returned 4 goals and 2 assists which isn't bad. Will be interesting to see what they can get out of him.

Hamer isn't coming, but Archer could definitely be on.

We had him lined up to come in January to replace Khadra, but the embargo put pay to that.

Cameron Archer preference as Sheffield United joined by Leeds and Luton

Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom is keen on the Aston Villa striker, who he has tried to sign before, as he targets new signings before Friday's match with Nottingham Forest
www.examinerlive.co.uk www.examinerlive.co.uk

"Heckingbottom had earmarked Archer as the man to replace Reda Khadra in January when the Brighton man's loan was cut short, but his plans were hit when the club was slapped with a transfer embargo and the forward joined Middlesbrough instead."

For what it's worth, I still don't think we'll sign Hamer, despite the fact it's all been announced! 😂

I won't believe it until I see him on the grass in the red and white!

I think the two loans will be these type of players Capt. Unfortunately it will be deadline day.

One counter to this point could be that those sorts of attacking players cost a large amount of money. So we can load up the defensively minded, even though I wouldn't say Hamers stats lead to him being labelled that way, on perms and use the loans wisely for some attacking options. Maybe with options to buy next year.

I'd almost stretch to say that would actually be sensible business, but lets see!

The 2 loans if we get them in should be ball carriers to aid Hamer and fill the Ndiaye / Berge gap. We are now 2 ball carriers down on last year.

Really hope that's correct.

I even think the Lewis O'Brien deal makes more sense than Doyle if we can agree sensible terms.
He'd give some left footed balance and he's an obvious replacement for Fleck. Also a Yorkshire lad so you'd hope he'd be settled here.

Has that interest gone away now?
Are we still wanting a left footer in there?

Surely for each match Hecky has to see who is available and then decide who to play and in what way. In the meantime I assume (hopefully) that the correct players have been targeted and are flying in from Saudi as we speak.

If Luton pump us to Archer, after no doubt breaking their bank on Ross Barkley's wages, then Jesus Christ.

That's why I'm fairly confident on this one

Whoa whoa!

You should have handed your ID pass back.

How did you get past security? 😉
 
Anyone know what time/day a player needs to sign before can play on a Friday evening...
