Did you see his last appearance at the Lane for Charlton where he ran the game for them?
He has genuine class and we won't get anyone better in.
Wasn't that back in 2007/8? And wasn't that the year Charlton went down?
I suspect they've just juggled the De Laet wages to fund this deal.
Which then probably suggests De Laet aint coming back
However, the fact Bartley can be recalled should they choose, it doesn't surprise me.
Makes sense. Although I'm unconvinced of Reid, I'm happy Speed has finally signed an attacking player, rather than another defender. From De Laets last few performances I'm not too upset that he doesn't apear to be coming back.
I know what you mean about Irish footballers George Best and Roy Keane weren't very good either.
Yep, 2 of the handful of decent Irish players to have ever played football.
I think that comment was tongue in cheek ghandi, mind you I do think Ollies posts are getting less and less interesting. I used to look forward to his posts, he made some relevant points, most of which I disagreed with, but they were often good points. Alas not these days.
Mick, that hurts
Let's not forget Paul McGrath, but he probably didn't see him play either!
Yes, you can add Paul McGrath to that (very small) list. And don't forget Irelands greatest ever player, Liam (Chipper) Brady. Still, can anyone name any more?
Oh and I did see Paul Mac play. He is the grestest defender that I've seen put on a Blades shirt (with the possible exception of Jags) and even at 38 (back in 07/08 I think?) he was absolute class.
wonder if he's any good with a hammer ?
Great idea BB. I might write to Birch and see if he'll release for the day to help wi mi shed.
Waited 3 months for what? What the hell is Calve then? He's more attack minded than Jamie Ward and he's supposed to be a full back, that said, I reckon he'd be a great RW. You can't argue with the Forward thinking, but the defensive side is looking a bit aged. Maybe at this stage it's experience we need at the back.
Calve is a light weight right back, with limited ability at defending (his main job) and whilst he looked decent at first, he has looked poor of late going forward.
What was that bit about an attention seeking Whore?
Love sniggers imagine one person sat at his computer.
The question is not irrelevevant. you just refuse to answer because you've been to not enough games to make a judgement for yourself on the Blades.
If you judge Andy reid like Glynn Hodges then most Nearly all Blades would say 'god if he's like Glynn hodges then we've got a gem'.
On the other hand if you view Glynn Hodges as crap then that also points to how crap your judgement is and just puts in to context how pathetic your posting have been.
As pointed out before, on here we have intelligent posters who attend games and can make their own conclusions. They dont have to have some self appointed Devils Advocate to stir in to life their brains especially one who gets his information second hand and makes a judgement from what - say - Andy giddins said on the radio.
So just so we can get a clear picture of ALL YOUR JUDGMENTS IN OTHER THREADS ON HERE.
How many Home games have you been to this season to see the Blades ?
How many away games have you been to this season to see the Blades ?
How many other teams have you been to see this season?
my my. All this posts says is that you don't like me. I am merley stating an opinion. Your (attempted) victimisation is becoming as tedious to me, as my posts are to Brownie.
why does it matter how much I've been to the Lane this season for me to make a judgement on a player that has never played in a United shirt before? I don't rate the guy. Has nothing to do with how many times I've been to BDTBL recently.
Deep down you know the answer to that.
To be honest Ollessendro is the one poster on here i'm sick to the back teeth of. It seems to me that he only posts on here because he likes the attention. Every man and his dog on here knows that things aren't brilliant, but to go on incessantly about it day in, day out with the same old boring crap trotted out is quite frankly boring.
win some, lose some.
