CONFIRMED BBD is back

[Maurice Maurice]

Awwww come on give the guy/team a chance , improving at the moment , last time out at Swansea was a great game , Bamford and bbd might hit it off , give em a chance !!!

Nobody will be more pleased than me if I'm wiping egg off my face over the next few weeks. I just don't rate Diaz and think he's a player that doesn't improve us all that much.

 

[SharpAsAblade]

Is he available for tomorrows game?

 

[Newbury Blade]

Don't give him the number 8 shirt. That would be a very wank thing to do.

Geoff Salmons wore No 8 and played on the left wing, good enough for me.

Yeah but Geoff Salmons was a quality player and most, if not all of the current squad aren't fit to lace his boots.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Has BBD played much for Southampton over summer? Can't be doing with players unfit.

 

[Champagneblade]

1st spell at the club he played on the left wing cutting inside and he was great.

2nd spell at the club, Hamer was preferred out on the left, so BBD was put on the right wing, he worked hard and was solid but no where near as threatening.

3rd spell Hamer has gone, we need a left sided attacker because O’Hare isn’t good enough there.
So looks nailed on that BBD will be 1st choice left sided attacker starting most games.

Really pleased because Donovan looks a threat on the right wing but we had nothing from the left wing.
So getting BBD was a priority and makes us much more of a threat going forward…..and of course BBD is still excellent defensively, out of possession.

It's quite remarkable how my mood lifted when I saw the Pete O'Rourke story!

I don't know if others feel the same but I felt a great sense of pressure lifted.

It is such a crucial position and we've got someone who will fit the ethos of the team and put numbers on the board.

Any further activity now is just minor tweaking. It shouldn't impact the overall effectiveness of the matchday XI. At worst we will let players leave who are not crucial or we will end up swapping like for like players at no detriment.

Once BBD moves to the left, O'Hare can play his best role, it brings the best out of Bamford and with Cannon, Campbell and One, we have plenty of cover. If we lose Burrows we can absorb that and an other departures, we seem prepared for.

We just simply couldn't enter the last day with the pressure of filling such a key role with the possibility that fate could conspire against us with a "we tried, but...".

Not sure if he played in pre season but got 62’ minutes in the league cup first round. If he’s eligible surely he starts, nobody else to play on the left.

 

[Champagneblade]

Is he available for tomorrows game?

He must be. His video was published around 1pm.

1230pm is the cut-off for registration.

 

[Bladeloyal]

I asked this a few hours ago

Would have thought so

 

[Servigliano]

Wilder talks a lot about attitude and team spirit.

He obviously knows and likes BBD and his attitude, and as indicated by the Derby view from, attracting players to the club at the moment could be difficult with the potential of points deductions and ownership struggles, so I have some respect for anyone choosing to come her right now.

The only reason fans aren’t feeling very excited by this signing is that we’ve had him before, but his stats are generally that of that of at least a play-off level forward, with the odd season as a truly top level championship striker. If he was someone new with similar stats there would much more buzz about it.

I think wilder is at his best wheeling and dealing with scraps and bringing the best / finding good fits out of previously average players.

I think we’ll end up mid table this season, maybe scrape play offs if we don’t get a points deduction, and flirt with relegation if we do, but I don’t think we’ve done too bad business under very difficult circumstances. If we get lucky with injuries we could end up being comfortably in the play offs.

Anyway, never mind all that, Mrs Bladeaway is Chilean and she’s over the moon!

Kudos to him. He obviously knows of the potential EFL penalties.
But he signed for us regardless. He's been here before and wanted to come.
Hopefully that sends a positive signal to others.
Are you listening Souttar?

 

[ben1987]

Is he available for tomorrows game?

He should be.

You usually have to be registered at 12 noon the day before a game.

 

[Booker4]

Cou

Knew you'd be fapping we signed him again. Hope you're doing well Coddy (I assume it's you). Fwiw I think he'll be great this season especially where we're at at the minute.

Course it's me numb nuts! Bobby or Dan?! Ooh aah Bob Bookaah! Miss ya either way.

Geoff Salmons was a Blades legend. A proper player
BBD is just on a transfer bungee cord attached to Wilder as he 'gets it'.

Light years difference

[Uncle mick]

I asked this a few hours ago

Is that Ronnie sharp as a blade

 

[Wizard]

Glad to have him back we desperately needed a wide forward and he gives us another option aside from Bamford/One to actually play long balls into.

Also worth mentioning that since Hamer has gone he can now play on the left rather than shoehorning him in on the right

 

[mattbianco1]

What squad number will he take?

His first spell he had #11 (Donovan)
His 2nd spell he had #20 (Ukaki)

He usually wears #22 for Chile (available)

I think he'll take #8 which will put me about. Phillips should have taken that

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

As I said yesterday on a thread,we are clapping hands for mediocrity . He didn’t do it last time and he’s not done it since for anyone. “He gets it” is the most stupidist statement I’ve ever heard coming from this absolute bollocks of a club.

Really? You're supporting the wrong team mate. Crocs 'R' Us

 

[Bladesman101]

Thing is with BBD we know what we are getting, and whilst some believe he’s mediocre I don’t think anyone really has the opinion that he’s completely useless, and if we take a risk on someone and they end up being a Louis Barry sort of player who’s absolutely useless then we’re in trouble. It’s a safe move 100% and I’m actually really happy with it. The comments from the derby fans are good, he obviously clicked when he got match sharpness up.

Get a centre half and an emergency right back cover in and I think we’ve got a half decent squad that should hopefully not be looking over its shoulder

[Fatlad666]

Yes in the squad tomorrow

 

[1066blade]

Yes in the squad tomorrow

Cos that bench ain't gonna warm itself.

Think he will be really good for us this season he could have gone to 2 other places but came here. Scores some cracking goals.

 

[North Riding Blade]

It really isn’t enjoyable awful to watch
My kids play more entertaining football and I don’t have to pay £30 a game to watch it

You don't have to pay £30 to watch united (not that I believe you do). You could always find another fanbase to annoy.

 

[Tom Bott]

£9m more like £14m

Numberwang.

 

[Tom Bott]

Performances were very Meh and those two didn't stay fit so ultimately we failed, as per.

How were the performances under Selles?

I prefer to win first, then a good /great performance is a bonus, but some see it the other way around.

 

[finlaytheblade]

Good player if he shows it consistently ,but for me just shows mid table "mediocrity" ambition from the club .

What do you expect Wilder to do on a limited budget ! hes a useful player at this level.Who would you want in with a lack of funds ?

 

[finlaytheblade]

I asked this a few hours ago

Listened to Wilders interview and I thought he said hes pleased to have him in for tomorrow! Didn't say it in them words but he led me to beleave he is.
